I am a Buddhist and I often go to the temple. One of the beautiful and ancient temples in Saigon is Thien Hau pagoda located in District 5, Sai Gon (Ho Chi Minh city). The pagoda was founded in 1760 by the Chinese community in Vietnam. If you have a chance to come to Sai Gon, please visit here. Love to share some pictures with you.

Hello @Tuzen ,
Thank you for sharing these amazing photos with us, the temple looks incredible!
Is this temple accessible only for Buddhists, or everyone is allowed to enter and visit it? Is there a particular moment of the year when this temple gets full of people?
What is the thing on the last photo? Is it a sculpture made of gold?
Please, feel free to add the Google Maps location of the temple. You can edit your publication following the helpful instructions that you will find here: Edit your post - Why and How To.
