Tho a little further outside the city centre, it is a nice Buddhist complex of pagoda, temple and statues, you can walk up the pagoda for very ncie views, I guess cuz of the location it was very empty & peaceful giving u plenty of space to discover the place

This is an interesting temple complex well worth a look and you can walk to the top of the tower for a stunning view of the city from the terrace. You have to scramble through a low window to get to the terrace so not for the feint hearted but the views are great

For me, like an european, it was an amazing and very interestin place, about belives, culture, customs

Very old temple with original statues and architecture. However, new architecture and statues added without plan make it lose its sacred atmosphere.

It was a nice visit. If you are in the area, do visit.

Very nice and peaceful place to visit

This is one of the oldest pagodas in ho chi Minh. The pagoda compound has many beautiful statues of Budha and the main temple has a very old Budha statue. Must visit pagoda I'm ho chi Minh. It's around 10 kms from district 1.
