Ho Chi Minh City Local

This pagoda was built in 1956 and was the site of Buddhist demonstrations against the Ngo Dinh Diem regime in 1963. This peaceful Buddhist pagoda is one of the city's largest, revered for its architecture and historical significance. Since it's a holy site, dress modestly when you visit by covering your shoulders and knees. Entrance is free, but donations are welcomed from visitors to help maintain the pagoda.
