Xa Loi Buddhist Temple

Unclaimed

Beautifully peaceful temple with gardens and many statues and monuments. A towering pagoda looks over the grounds and completes the Buddhist architecture wonderfully. The temple was built in 1958, and was the centre of Buddhist activism in the early 1960s. Home to Thich Quang Duc, the heroic monk that gave his life in protest of the persecution of Bhuddists by the Sth Vietnamese government. His monument is nearby the temple, and a visit to both is absolutely essential.

We had opportunity to visit this place before leaving Ho Chi Minh City just only 2 hours ago. I don’t hesitate to give you more information about this nice place for traveling.

Beautiful and serene. I love how colorful this place is and the bonsai trees are very well taken care of. Worth the visit!

you can find peace and calmness here
