Local people say the road to this Pagoda is very bad. But when we went there, there was only bad road(ie, with holes on road) about 15 minutes drive only. And we can go there with Toyota WISH not 4 wheel drive. The location and the scene of the beach where the Pagoda is situated are very beautiful. It is one of the places you should go when you arrive Da-Wei.
