Originally built as a temple in the late 17th century and later becoming the center of social life for immigrants from China's Fujian province, this complex is a national historical heritage of Vietnam.

What to know
The 2,500 sq. m complex is designed in the shape of the Chinese character «三» (three). The most striking detail is the triple gate, decorated with dragons and porcelain inlay. Special attention should be paid to the main hall, where huge coils of incense slowly burn under the ceiling, carrying the prayers of the parishioners upward.
Here, the goddess Thien Hau, protector of seafarers, is worshipped, along with six Fujian generals in the rear of the complex. Visitors also find interest in the historical model of an 1875 merchant vessel with painted "eyes" designed to see dangers during sea voyages.
The dry season provides comfortable conditions for walking around the Ancient Town, and visiting in the morning hours will allow you to avoid tourist crowds.
