On a Vietnam tour, visit the Quan Am Pagoda in Ho Chi Minh City, HCMC, which is one of Cholon's most active pagodas founded by the Fujian Congregation in the early 19th century and displays obvious Chinese influences. It's named for the Goddess of Mercy, Quan The Am Bo Tat whose statue lies hidden behind a remarkably ornate exterior.
Fantastic ceraminc scenes decorate the roof of this Quan Am Pagoda in Saigon Cholon. Other unique features of this temple are the gold-and-lacquer panels of the entrance door. Just inside, the walls of the porch are murals, in slight relief, of scenes of China from around the time of Quan Cong.
