    Very solemn temple, not famous to tourists. The images and intricate details on walls and pillars were fascinating.

    Such an interesting and atmospheric place, it is with a visit for 10/15 minutes to soak in the culture and atmosphere. The sights and smell of burning incense is amazing and very unique to this place. Beautiful preservation of culture and a lovely escape within the busy city life for anyone visiting the city.

    Very spiritual and old pagoda. From the 1700’s. I really enjoy it there and find to be a quiet and comfortable place to pray and meditate.

    The pagoda is mainly dedicated to the Godness of Mercy (Quan The Am Bo Tat) whose statues stands in the inner chamber. This is one of the most colorful temples, stands out with really bright yellow and red painted walls which would absolutely attracts photographers who love temple architecture, and a number of tourists for an interesting visit. The fish pond once connected to the temple now has been separated by the road in the middle, where people could release fishes here as a part of religious practice.

    Especially crowded on lunar occasions like Tet, Mid-Autumn, full-moon. The place once was one of the Chinese unions in Saigon. This temple has significant features of Chinese culture and religion: worshipping both religions - Buddhism (Kannon) and Taoism (other gods)

    Nice Chinese Pagoda. 1. Buying wish list with circle incense (last about 5days): 30k vnd 2. Buying normal incense to burn : 5k vnd 3. In front of every Buddha always have a small oil tank , you should buy a bottle of oil (10k vnd) to fill in , that means when we are going to close the death , it’s will maintain more our breathings. 4. You can buy the morning glory for feed the turtles ( 15k vnd for 1kg)

    A must visit if you're interested in the Chinese folk religion. They have the statues of more than 20 deities here. Prayer services are available as well as I can see people queueing up for the "hitting the villain" ritual.

    Traditional Chinese temple. It was clean and nice. Great experience for tourists.

  • 4/5 Antoine Mutin (. 1 year ago on Google
    Really nice looking different from Vietnamese temples you can find. Definitely something to see! But I also recommend you to explore around the district, there is a lot of temples like this one 👌🏻

  • 3/5 Alex T. 1 year ago on Google
    A good temple but if you plan to visit avoid big celebration time such as Tet else it's very packed and the experience is not enjoyable

  • 5/5 SANDRINE 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful pagoda, in the heart of Cho Lon. Old and authentic, it was a great experience to visit this place.

  • 5/5 Peter P. 2 years ago on Google
    Great temple with amazing pagoda. The upstairs prayer room is amazing with many statues of Buddha. Just remember that this is a place of worship to Buddhist and you shouldn’t being taking pictures inside. Remember to burn an incense and make a Buddhist prayer.

  • 5/5 J L. 6 years ago on Google
    Amazing decor and very well maintained temple. I was surprised that it looked more Grand than the more famous and more historic thean hau temple which was situated within walking distance. Even the pillars had amazing wood carvings and being a Taoist temple, this place had all the idols worshipped by the taoists.

  • 4/5 Vinnie t. 2 years ago on Google
    This temple is more than 280 years. Probably one of the oldest in Saigon. A very nice temple which has both Buddhist and Taoist gods. Like to go there every Lunar New Year to pray for a good year.
