PAGODA AND TEMPLE IN SAI GON
Sai Gon is a city packed with places of worship. It seems every street has a pagoda, temple an enduring icon of the orient, or even a church, symbolic monuments of western religous influence.
Pagoda and Temple represent both the past and present of our religous heritage. Our majestic temples and pagodas are not just a beautiful sight for tourists to admire, but also serve as functioning religous centres where Buddhists and Taoist practise their faiths. They are also at the heart of Vietnamese culture. They even serve as hosts to charity events! Interesting events are organised for various good causes and held in our pagodas and temples. Everybody is welcomed to these events!
Our pagodas also house relics which are significant peices of our heritage and testaments to our history. They also serve as publishing houses to Buddhist literature to the people. Allow us to expand your mind and discover our culture, heritage, and beliefs.
