Built in 1744, Giac Lam Pagoda is one of the oldest temples in Ho Chi Minh city. Giac Lam Pagoda is also recognized by the Ministry of Culture and Information as the national historical and cultural relic. It was officially listed as a historical site by the Vietnamese Department of Culture on November 16, 1988.

Unlike others, Giac Lam Pagoda was designed under the South Vietnam’s architectural style. There were a total of 38 multi-sized towers, based on the combination of the architectural style of the ethnic minorities and light resemblances of both Western and Eastern architecture.

On some special occasions, dozens of domestic and foreign tourists arrive in here to go sightseeing, spread their eyes over the pagoda’s unique architecture, as well as burn the joss sticks to pray for every best wish.

Opening Hours: 5 AM to 12 PM and 2 AM to 8 PM every day
Address: 565 Lac Long Quan Street, Ward 10, Tan Binh District, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
