Temples near Ho Chi Minh City

The city's temples are best seen together: the Jade Emperor Pagoda in the Da Kao area, the Cao Dai temple nearby, and Thien Hau Temple in Cholon, the old Chinese district, a short taxi ride west. The Ben Duoc Memorial Temple stands at the Cu Chi tunnels, about 50 km north-west, and is usually part of a tunnels tour. Vinh Trang Pagoda in My Tho is a regular stop on Mekong Delta day trips. Traffic out of the city is heavy, so allow about two hours each way.
