SAIGON, VIETNAM 🇻🇳: Phụng Sơn Tự (Phung Son Pagoda) / “Gò Pagoda

This bold red gate with its Chinese characters and ornate tiled roofline, is characteristic of the strong Chinese-Vietnamese cultural influence in this part of Saigon.

The pagoda was built by a monk named Lieu Thong between 1802 and 1820. Archaeological excavations have revealed that structures from the Funan civilization existed at the site long before the temple was built.

The pagoda has been renovated twice: once between 1904 and 1915 by a monk named Tue Minh, and again in 1960. It was recognized as a National Historical and Cultural Monument in 1988.

The pagoda honors the God of Happiness and Virtue and features a jade green roof with dragon statues, red brick walls, and an interior corridor decorated with wood carvings.
