Phap Viện Minh Dang Quang is one of the largest temples in Ho Chi Minh City, established by the Mendicant Buddhist Order, one of the biggest Buddhist sects in southern Vietnam. The central octagon-shaped temple topped with a lotus flower was designed in traditional Chinese architectural style. Most people come here to pray and visit the huge bronze statue of the Buddha inside the central pagoda, but the restaurant serving delicious vegetarian dishes carries the biggest appeal for the foreign travelers.

Beautiful temple with really big nice Buddha statues. They keep it nice and clean. There is a small souvenir shop on the left hand side as well as a vegetarian restaurant which was very convenient. Although close to the city but very peaceful and serene.
