Among the tourist attractions in Saigon, Vietnam Quoc Tu Pagoda is known as a historical witness. After many years of construction and preservation, now this temple is not only an attractive destination for locals but also very “pleased" with tourists.
Location:
Vietnam Quoc Tu is known as the “most" temple in Saigon. Experiencing many ups and downs, the Vietnam Quoc Tu event has had a lot of changes. Along with its unique construction and prime location, Vietnam Quoc Tu is considered the new headquarters of the Vietnam Buddhist Association.
When learning about tourist attractions in Ho Chi Minh City, it is very easy for you to find Vietnam Quoc Tu Pagoda. This temple is located at Ba Thang Hai Street, District 10 (a large and extremely busy street in Saigon).
Every day, Vietnam Quoc Tu is open from 7am to 6pm. Therefore, whether traveling for many days or only traveling to Saigon for 1 day, you can still comfortably visit Vietnam Quoc Tu as well as combine visiting other places without affecting the travel schedule.
History:
Vietnam Quoc Tu Pagoda in Saigon was built in 1964 by the Unified Buddhist Church of Vietnam, on an area of more than 4 hectares. After 1975, when the Government of the Republic of Vietnam collapsed, Vietnam Quoc Tu Pagoda began to be requisitioned to build Hoa Binh Theater and Ky Hoa amusement park.
In 1988, the former abbot of Vietnam Quoc Tu, Venerable Tu Nhon, applied for the ownership rights back. However, it was not until 1993 that the application was resolved, the area of the temple at this time was reduced to 3,712m2, the tower built from the beginning is still unfinished.
After many years of renovation, Vietnam Quoc Tu Pagoda was officially restored with many items in 1993 and in 2014, this temple was completely rebuilt, the inauguration ceremony was held in November 2017.
Architecture:
Vietnam Quoc self was initially built quite sketchy, after many years of renovation, it has gradually improved and become much more beautiful. Inside the spacious temple space, every small detail is carved and designed extremely sophisticatedly.
Visiting Vietnam Quoc Tu Pagoda in District 10, any visitor will be surprised and enjoy the architecture that is both modern and has ancient traditions.

All the arrangement, plans, pick-up & drop-off services, hotels, vehicles, sightseeing tours and guides were spot on and excellent.
