About
A Chinese-style temple from the early 20th century, known for its papier-mâché statues and thick incense smoke.
Why go
Many of the statues are made of papier-mâché and bamboo strips, and the wooden architecture with curved roofs is distinctly Chinese. Saigon people often come to pray for children or for love, and the atmosphere is very different from the streets outside.
Good to know
The 1st and the 15th of the lunar month are very crowded and smoky with incense. No filming or photography in the worship areas, and dress modestly.
On the menu
Dish names as the place writes them.
