About
A pagoda built from 1964 to 1971 on the model of Vinh Nghiem Pagoda in Bac Giang, notable for its seven-story, 40 m tower.
Why go
Two monks from the North came south and built the pagoda on low-lying land beside the Thi Nghe canal. It was the first pagoda to build traditional Vietnamese architecture in concrete. During Vu Lan and Buddha's Birthday, Saigon people still flock here to burn incense and pin on roses, and the courtyard fills with people.
Good to know
Full-moon days and major festivals are very crowded and parking is hard. This is an active place of practice, so dress modestly and keep quiet.
