Thien Hau Pagoda

Such a peaceful place to visit. You can buy incense for offerings and it is beautiful to see the spiralling incense sticks being hung up on the ceiling of the temple. It is beautifully made with inscriptions, lacquered pillars, ceramics and more. A very peaceful vibe and you would want to spend some time here. I went in the morning at 7 am.

This is a beautiful Buddhist temple with impressive architecture. Entry is free and it’s mainly a place for locals to worship, so the atmosphere feels peaceful and authentic. There is a parking space in front of the temple for two-wheelers (with parking charges). For four-wheelers, there isn’t direct parking, so you may need to park a little far away. There is a modest dress code, shoulders and knees should be covered when visiting.

Located in the "Chinatown" of District 5 in Ho Chi Minh City. The Thien Hau Temple offers a truly spiritual experience. Dedicated to the Chinese Goddess of Sea, this temple is built in Chinese architecture style. Embelishes intricate muralswhich tells the stories of the gods and people of ancient chinese culture. Best time to visit is early morning. You can offer scented essences sticks and have prayer flags put up on your names for health, wealth and wellness. It is a good idea to carry cash for transaction. Also wear modest clothes, full trousers.

Extremely peaceful temple with awesome amounts of figurines from the late 1700’s. I love this temple for the serene and peaceful feeling. No fancy remodeling. Don’t forget to look up and too the sides. Fantastic place. Took some friends to show them the location while they were in town.

Visited in August recently. Quite a large temple with interesting carvings and motifs on the wall and roofs.

A very old and famous temple at the center of District 5. It's famous for its vibes and the Incense. I was there early in the morning and there was almost no one there. It was quiet and I liked the atmosphere there a lot. Every corner was unique and nostalgic

A beautiful reason to get out of District 1! This hall is accessible by public bus, free to enter, and so humbling as to make you stop and stare for many minutes. What intricate and devoted work it must be to build and maintain a place like this! We walked south afterwards through a hardware district to the canal, which was quiet and full of colorful laundry hanging out to dry. A peaceful, contemplative morning in the otherwise bustling Saigon. I’d highly recommend Tue Thanh for anyone wanting a moment of pause.

Quiet and atmospheric, this temple in Ho Chi Minh gives a rare sense of peace and a different spiritual dimension from the usual Buddhist temples.
