Đại Nam
The Buddhist
Temple
If there is one place that a
tourist
in Ho Chi Minh City
…it is the beautiful Buddhist Temple
in Đại Nam
to be on one's must visit list.
It is a massive Temple
an artificial limestone cliff,
an artificial limestone cliff,
...called Ngu Hanh Son Mountain
Range,
the longest artificial
mountain in Vietnam.
Right at the Ngu
Hanh Son
Mountain
is a nine storey tower called Bao
Thap
offers a magnificent view
offers a magnificent view
There is also the Bao Giang
River
which runs under Ngu Hanh
Son Range
…and winds around the
temple.
The main entrance towards Dai Nam Square
is guarded by dragons and series of small temples
….elaborately designed and decorated
massive doors and entrances…
…that open to an
expansive courtyard,
...of beautiful gardens,
...and an intricately decorated
majestic main temple,
...with wide array of religious statues
gilded with gold and precious
gems.
No picture taking is allowed
temple as it is considered
temple as it is considered
The massiveness of place reminded me of
the Forbidden City in Beijing-
but this one is more modern and more
opulent
having been built this century.
Just because of this temple alone-
our visit
our visit
We took a taxi back Ho Chi Minh City
and we were treated with
the wonderful sights and
sounds.
…of the bustling Saigon suburbs
just before dawn.
