The pagoda is also called Chùa Biển Hồ Trà. It sits in the tea hills, so you can stop on the same northern loop as the lake, and the visit is still the hall, not the shore. Stay off the harvest paths around the rows. It is not Minh Thanh.
From Pleiku the ride is about 15 km north, or more than 15 km. The last stretch runs through a pine avenue. Minutes, the fare, the hours, and any donation are Check on arrival.
