Le Van Duyet Temple

Le Van Duyet was credited by Emperor Gia Long for helping to suppress the Tay Son Rebellion. However, after his death, he was repudiated by Emperor Minh Mang, but his honor was restored in the 1840, which was when the temple was built to honor him.

The main sanctuary of the temple has no statues, except that of Le Van Duyet. This is to remind the worshippers that they are worshipping a mortal. The general's personal effects, such as weapons, crystalware and even a stuffed tiger, are in the temple.

Today Le Van Duyet temple has grown into a complex of buildings, pavilions and cloisters.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
