PHU CHAU – THE OVER 300-YEAR-OLD TEMPLE

Phu Chau Temple, also known as Mieu Noi, is located on a small alcove of Vam Thuot River. Normally, people have been taken the boats to go there to practice worship to the spirit. The shrine was built during the reign of Gia Long more than three centuries ago. Legend says that the temple was built after a fisherman in the area picked up a statue of a goddess and was said to be the statue of the Water Lord. The temple was abandoned until 1989, when Mr Luc Cau, a Vietnamese-Chinese man, spent money and gathered local people to rebuild the temple.

Arrives at Phu Chau temple, you will be able to observe hundreds of exquisite small and large dragon statues and various delicate carved statues. Not only is it sacred famous, but this place also attracts visitors with Chinese – Vietnamese architecture. Before departing, Saigon Water Taxi has prepared the birds/fishes for you to release to increase the merit.

On the way back to Greenlines wharf, the canoe will take you around a peninsula of Thanh Da – the “eco-garden” in the heart of Saigon to enjoy the fresh air and the beautiful view.
