CHINESE TEMPLE IN HO CHI MINH, VIETNAM










Outtakes from my day tour at a chinese temple in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam...

The roof of the temple is decorated with porcelain figurines depicting chinese legends. The interior of the temple is partially covered; this is where the altar is located and lanterns hang; you can also view the decorated roofs on the partially open portion of the courtyard.  Inside the courtyard, walls are adorned with wooden carvings, pink papers (personal wishes and prayers are written on these papers), bells, lanterns, candles and other oriental objects. At the middle of the courtyard is a big jar/burner containing incenses offered by visitors.

Temples to visit in Vietnam:

Giác Lâm, a Buddhist pagoda is located at 118 Lc Long Quân, in the 23rd ward of Tân Bình district, in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
