vinh trang temple印象
-
After the half day trip of the Mekong Delta and a hearty lunch at the restaurant of Rach Mieu Ferry Terminal, we stopped to visit the beautiful pagoda that was built 165 years ago. The colonial French architecture blends with the Asian (Thai and Cambodian), with other influences of the Champa era. The huge statues of sitting Happy Buddha and standing one are very impressive. A great way to end a fantastic trip organised by Exotissmo.

About an hour away from Saigon by road, this temple is everything Buddhist! Very calm and peaceful, it's dedicated to the higher path of Buddhism. You need about 30 minutes to take in all that this place has to offer unless you are very much into culture. Historically significant and great!

Even though I dont like the religious stuffs, the pagoda's an exception ... Very nice architecture compare to the other ones. It's big, unique and if you are lucky you'll got to see some lotus and the budda statues are quite big too !!!

There's plenty to see at this temple, which is set within 2 hectares and was restored mainly in the first half of the 20th century. You'll see ornate buildings, massive Buddha statues and well tended gardens. I visited this as a stop on an organized tour and so felt a little hurried - it would have been nice to have had more time to soak up the atmosphere of this place.

We visited Vinh Trang Temple as part of our Mekong Delta day tour with TNK travel (My Tho to Ben Tre). We had about 30 minutes to explore and took quite a few photos around the grounds. There are huge statues, lovely gardens, pagodas and lotus flowers. The temple itself is rather impressive with its unique architecture, gold and silver plated designs, polished interior and interesting detail. The whole place has an air of tranquility about it.I found it a little disappointing that even in just thirty minutes of looking around, I saw tourists who paid no attention whatsoever to the politely stated rules of the temple (like discreet dress, no loud talking, no shorts inside the temple etc) and it seems a pity that tourists who come to admire the local way of life (as is their privilege, not their right) would ruin it with their complete disregard for the culture and disrespect to its people. In my opinion, tourism is not about imposing ourselves on to others, it's about learning, respecting and experiencing the local culture in order to enhance our own understanding and appreciation of life. Something to think about.

Our first stop in classic Upper Mekong Delta tour, a couple of hours away from Saigon. There's a jolly and reclining Buddha inside this beautiful and well-maintained sanctuary surrounded by bonsai, bougainvillea and other ornamental trees. Our guide said this site is of historical importance providing shelter to Vietnamese patriots. We arrived around noon with ready food on the tables (lunch for resident monks here).

This pagoda is quite spread out with beautifully kept park like gardens. It is a working pagoda and as you walk around you can see the monks going about their daily lives. The three Buddhas are impressive in their size. Just a note of caution the little kiosk at the front entrance does a roaring trade with highly inflated prices to boot!

looks unique compared to other buddhists temples in S.E.A. took some pictures of the huge buddhas. A small souvenior shop in the temple but no food available. Do dress discreetly. Just a temple for good photoshoot.

Pretty impressive building and Stone Structures... Massive Laughing Buddha.. good 15minutes stop on the tour.

Went here as part of Mekong Delta trip package. I would not term it a 'must see', but the size of the Buddhas (all modern statues, btw) was very impressive, so if you have a chance to stop here for a bit, it's definitely worth it. The flowers and grounds and the temple are also lovely and well-kept.
