Nghia An Hoi Quan Pagoda

The appearance of Nghia An Hoi Quan Pagoda is exactly that of a Chinese temple. The front door of the temple are painted with door gods. Within the temple you can see a big wooden statue of Quan Cong's red horse and Nghia An, his faithful groom. The horse statue is considered particularly sacred to devotees, who would ring the bell around its neck and then crawl under it to the other side. They believe that this helps them gain blessings from the horse.

In a glass-encasede altar to the right side of the main sanctuary is the statue of Ong Bon, the guardian of happiness and virtue. The main sanctuary is entered through a wooden folding screen doors which depict a dragon and a tiger. At the main altar in the sanctuary are the main statue of Quan Cong, flanked by his attendants, among them Quan Binh, his chief mandarin, and Chau Xuong, his chief general.

Location

Nghia An Hoi Quan Pagoda is located at 678 Nguyen Trai Street in Cholon, Ho Chi Minh City.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
