About Jade Emperor Pagoda

Leaving the traffic of Mai Thị Lựu Street for the altars of Chùa Ngọc Hoàng changes the pace. Known as the Jade Emperor Pagoda and also as Phước Hải, the temple combines Chinese and Buddhist religious references, carved figures and woodwork.

Take in the details slowly, keeping the way clear for those who come to pray. The halls are not a set available at any moment; check the closing time before crossing the city.
