| Thanks to the “good news from far away”, Thinh Thin Mountain, Thinh Thin Pagoda has become one of the “hot” destinations that many young people come to travel and visit. |
Why is it named Thin Thin?
Mount Tinh Thinh has an altitude of nearly 170 meters above sea level. The mountain is shaped like a giant crocodile, tilted from 32 degrees to 42 degrees, east and west are different along the Phoenix mountain range.
A resident here said that in the old days the mountain was called Co Son. Some time later, the mountain was called Thanh Thanh Son again. But then when the local people set foot on the mountain to collect firewood, plant trees, etc., the footsteps sounded like echoing the sound of “silent”.
And then, the people named the mountain “Thanh Thin” for the same rhyme. The name of Thinnh Mountain came from that time until now.

According to many scientific studies, the reason when footsteps have a “silent” sound is because the mountain is composed of laterite. Inside the mountain, there is a laterite structure, creating countless holes and bumps. So when there is an external force, it creates an echo.
There is a folk song that many Quang Ngai people know by heart. They are: “Thin Thin Mountain, the temple is also Thinh Thin / Who goes up there let me ask / Why should it be famous / Let the land for a thousand years be pounded”.
Because on the mountain with this “unique” name, there is a hundred-year-old Vien Giac pagoda lying alone on the top of Thinnh mountain. This ancient temple is very peaceful with ancient features and old architecture.
Because it is located on Thinh Thin Mountain, few people call Vien Giac Pagoda Vien Giac Pagoda, but call it by the name Thin Thin Pagoda.
