About
A Teochew (Triều Châu) assembly hall more than 200 years old, dedicated to Quan Công (Guan Yu), a national architectural and artistic monument since 1993.
Why go
Dragon ceramics on the tiled roof, thick carved wooden screens and coils of incense hanging across the ceiling make it a true Cho Lon assembly hall. It is still a living gathering place for the Hoa (Chinese-Vietnamese) community: at the start of the year people come for blessings, and on the 15th of the first lunar month the statue of Quan Công is carried in procession past the assembly halls along the street.
Good to know
Lots of incense smoke, and very crowded on full-moon days and at Tet. Dress modestly and ask before photographing people who are making offerings.
