About

The tomb complex and temple of Tả quân Lê Văn Duyệt, a national monument since 1988, right next to Ba Chieu market.

Why go

Saigon people affectionately call it Lăng Ông, the place that honors the Governor of Gia Dinh who helped develop the southern lands. The grounds of over 18.000 m² include a three-door gate, a stele house, two tombs and a temple in Nguyễn style; on the 7th day of Tet there is the Khai hạ - Cầu an ceremony, a national intangible cultural heritage, attended by tens of thousands of people.

Good to know

Very crowded on the 1st and 15th of the lunar month and on holidays, with a lot of incense smoke; quiet on ordinary days. Official sources do not give opening hours.
