Ho Chi Minh City Travel Guide: 3,093 reviews and 6,982 photos
This temple, located in the Cholon (Chinatown) district of the city, is dedicated to Thien Hau, the Lady of the Sea, who is also known as "Mazu". The interior of the temple is actually a partially covered courtyard, at the end of which is the altar to Thien Hau. The exposed portions of the courtyard contain incense burners, and open the view to the remarkable porcelain dioramas that decorate the roof. The dioramas show scenes from a 19th century Chinese city, and include such colourful figures as actors, demons, animals, and Persian and European sailors and traders.
