Built at the turn of the 20th Century by a community of Cantonese who migrated from Guangzhou province in Southwest China, this pagoda is a fine representation of Mahayanist branch of Buddhism that is practiced widely in Vietnam.

Situated close to the Ben Thanh market, the Mariamman Hindu temple serves the small community of 100 or so Chinese and Vietnamese Tamil Hindus living in Ho Chi Minh City. It is the only Hindu temple that is still open in the city and is considered sacred by Hindu and non-Hindu Vietnamese. The temple is rumoured to have miraculous powers giving luck and wealth to those who worship within its walls. Location: 45 Truong Dinh Street in District 1

Xa Loi Pagoda This pagoda, the largest in Saigon, was built in 1956 to contain fragments of bone from The Buddha – Xa Loi means “sacred bones”. The pagoda was a centre of political protest against the regime of President Ngo Dinh Diem and in August 1963 it hit headlines around the world when troops attacked monks and nuns barricaded inside at the start of a campaign that resulted in the deaths of thousands of Buddhists around the country. Location: 89 Ba Huyen Thanh Quan Street in District 3

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
Don't always think about FL and massage when you visit HCM.
There are many other attraction like paying visit to temple. Nam Mô A Di Đà Phật Quote:

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
Posting from a local viet worker. Purpose just to shared and not asking for any charity or help.
"We are group of friends who try do our bit for the children in our city every year. This time we have decided to try and help them by giving 30 scholarships, 30 bicycles, books, old clothes. This requires alot of money and we being the students & workers cannot afford beyond this limit. In this way we can bring a smile on the face of these children who have suffered alot in life." The above took place last year in Di Linh district, Lam Dong Province

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
Introduction to sai gon
Cao Dai Temple The Cao Dai Temple was finished in 1955 when the Cao Dai Army was formed following the Japanese occupation of Indochina. Caodaists believe that all religions are ultimately the same and seek to promote tolerance throughout the world. The Lord Buddha, Jesus Christ, Muhammad and Confucius, in addition to Joan of Arc and Julius Cesar are all honoured at this temple. The temple is best visited by booking a tour due to its location close to the Cambodian border, 100km northwest of Ho Chi Minh City in the Long Than village close to Tay Ninh.
