+ By 1961 – 1999, Pho Quang pagoda was seriously degraded.

+ And it was not until 1999, under the management of the Ho Chi Minh Buddhist Administration, that the temple was completely restored and expanded to have the spaciousness and purity of today.

Architecture:

After many restorations, the temple was built in a modern direction. However, the inside of the pagoda still retains its ancient and dignified features when it is designed with massive pillars, decorated with delicate carvings of the Ly Dynasty.

The roof of the pagoda is curved in the shape of a dragon and phoenix like traditional Vietnamese temples. Overview of the main hall with 3 floors and 12 roofs, behind is a small tower with 2 floors. Especially, the temple grounds are large, planted with many trees, helping to bring a fresh and peaceful scene to people who come to visit the temple.

Tour of Vietnam

Impress travel were amazing. Did my bookings with Daniel for our tour of Vietnam and I must say Daniel was very professional and prompt with his services. All the arrangement, plans, pick-up & drop-off services, hotels, vehicles, sightseeing tours and guides were spot on and excellent. Did 4 nights Hanoi, 1 night Hà Long Bay cruise, 3 nights Hoian, 4 nights Saigon and 1 night in Can Tho. It was totally awesome. Every part of the journey was superbly arranged and planned. I will highly recommend Impress Travel for anyone interested in visiting Vietnam. Very organized and reliable!

The tour was fantastic

I booked with Impress Travel in July. My contact person was Tommy Thang. He is an amazing person. He was very helpful. He changed my program twice for me. Very accommodating!
We started our holiday in the north (Sapa)of Vietnam and travelled down to HCMC.
The tour was fantastic, Tommy's arrangements were to the"T".
I will always use them if I have to visit the area again and recommend them to one and all.
Thank you once again Mr.Tommy and the Impress Team.
