Quan Am Pagoda
Go Back - Latest Ho Chi Minh City > Vietnam > Asia > World | YouTube : Facebook | About Me : Contact MeAs with many of the temples in the Cholon district of the city, Quan Am Pagoda was built by the Chinese traders and merchant community. It was established in 1816. What's unusual about this temple is that it is split into two parts by a street running through it.
The main temple complex is on the north side of Lao Tu Street, while on the south side, across the street, is a compound with a fish pond and turtle pond. Coming back to the main temple, you see the roof and entranceway ornately decorated with carvings and paintings of Chinese sceneries, with small figurines.
The figure of Quan Am in the temple is flanked by other deities, among them the Laughing Buddha, representing the Buddha of the future, and Di Da, the Buddha of the Past, and Thich Ca, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, the historical Buddha.
Location
The Quan Am Pagoda is located at 12 Lao Tu Street in Cholon district, Ho Chi Minh City.

About this website
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
