The magic of Chua Quan Am 🇻🇳

#hochiminhguide

Deep in Ho Chi Minh City's Cholon (Chinatown) district lies Chua Quan Am, also known as Quan Am Pagoda or On Lang Assembly Hall.

This captivating Chinese-style Buddhist temple, established in the 18th century, offers a serene escape and a vibrant cultural experience.
Dedicated primarily to Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy, it also incorporates elements of Taoism and folk religion, reflecting the rich spiritual tapestry of the Chinese-Vietnamese community.

The pagoda's architecture is a highlight, with its distinctive curved eaves adorned with intricate ceramic figures, brightly colored pillars, and ornate wooden carvings.
Stepping inside, you're greeted by a symphony of scents from burning incense and a collection of beautifully crafted statues and altars.
