Vinh Nghiem Pagoda is believed to be the largest temple in Ho Chi Minh City. It was built in 1971 with funds from the Japan-Vietnam Friendship Association. The centerpiece of the temple is the eight-story pagoda, which is the tallest in the city. There are Buddha images on each side of the pagoda.

There is also another smaller tower at Vinh Nghiem Pagoda which is 16 feet (5 meters) tall. It is built of concrete but made to look like granite. A large main building is approached by stairs leading to five huge lacquered doors. The walls of the building are lined with painting of scriptural scenes. At the main altar is a huge seated Buddha. Behind the sanctuary is a room with photographs of the departed. There is also a statue of the goddess Quan Am.

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.
