Tianhou Palace is actually a temple built by Vietnamese Chinese in the 19th century. It worships Mazu, the God of the sea, which was once the largest Huicheng Hall of Chinese in Ho Chi Minh City. In addition to Chinese tourists, there are also many Western tourists. People from different backgrounds are looking for their own feelings here. In this temple with Chinese Lingnan architectural style, we appreciate the colorful sculpture art of many people distributed on the roof and eaves, which contains the Chinese people's attachment to their homeland far away from their homeland. The main hall of Mazu worshipped with the plaque "The Virgin Mother of the Heavenly Queen" hangs high. The magnificent statue of Mazu is enshrined in the shrine, which is filled with incense on the table. From time to time, devout people or tourists bow down to worship it. In the spacious courtyard patio, there is a winding incense tower. The pilgrims pay for the incense and attach a red note of blessing. After the incense is ignited, the staff of the temple are responsible for hanging in mid-air. On the walls of the temple are stickers marked with the names of the people who donated money and money. Many Western tourists are also here to experience the ancient Eastern culture. Inside the main gate of the temple, there are "Avoidance" signs of Guangxu years. On the main gate, besides exquisite wood carvings, "Huicheng Guild Hall" huge plaques stand in the middle. Walking out of the gate and standing in the front yard, he saw a middle school next to him. The tour guide told us that this was the school he attended. It was built by Huicheng Guild Hall for the education of Chinese descendants at that time. Today, the school has also become a regular Vietnamese education-based campus. Vietnam is a multi-ethnic country, of which more than 89% are the Vietnamese (also known as the Jing nationality), the rest are Dai, Mang, Nong, Dai, Hermon (Miao), Yao, Zheng, Khmer and more than 50 ethnic groups, including the Han ethnic minority. At that time, many Chinese came to Vietnam and settled there. Of course, with the sino-Vietnamese relations at a low ebb, many Chinese Vietnamese left Vietnam one after another to settle in the western countries. At present, the proportion of Chinese in Vietnam's population has declined sharply, and many young Chinese can no longer speak Chinese.

    Tianhou Temple ~ also known as Suicheng Assembly Hall. It was built in Qing Qianlong for 25 years (1761), and the main hall is in the middle of the Mazu to bless the sea. There are many colorful pottery inside and outside the temple, which is based on Chinese allusions. There is a pan of fragrance hanging, and there are always people who enter the incense to worship.

    The Hainan Tianhou Temple (CHA B HẢI NAM) in Ho Chi Minh City is very historical, although it is located in the center of the modern city. The preservation is good. There are often dragon and lion dance performances,

    Ho Chi Minh City Tianhou Temple Cha Bà Thin Hậu is located in the fifth county, also known as Suicheng Club. Of course, the main god of Tianhou Temple is Mazu. Because it was built by Cantonese people, it is a little different from our temple architecture. There are rich cross-toe burning in the temple, mainly placed on the corners and beams of the temple, very beautiful. The whole temple is antique. Because you can order incense and pray for blessings here, the whole temple is full of cigarettes, and I feel that the whole body and soul have been purified. The staff here can almost speak Chinese or Cantonese, so you can ask if you are unclear.

    As soon as you enter the Tianhou Palace, you can see that the patio beside the hall is covered with a string of incense dishes. The breeze is gentle, the string of incense dishes sways with the wind, and the cigarettes are fluttering gently. At this moment, time drives people's thoughts into trance. Walking into the main hall, there are many dishes hanging high under the ceiling, and the circle-by-circle enlargement from top to bottom. On the side of the main hall, dish incense is being sold in hot weather. Visitors can write down their names on red paper, then paste them on the bottom of the incense, and then have someone hang the dish incense for you. High-hanging incense, light smoke curling carrying people's prayers and prayers all the way to the sky.

    Tianhou Temple, built in the middle and late 19th century, is one of the spiritual repositories of overseas Chinese in southern Vietnam. Since its completion, it has been renovated and expanded many times. Now we can see that it was renovated in 2006. This ancient building has a distinct Lingnan architectural style, simple and elegant shape, exquisite decoration of the palace, so it has been selected into the list of historical and cultural monuments in Vietnam. The Temple of the Queen of Heaven is dedicated to the sea goddess Mazu Niang, who is kind-looking and dignified. People often come to Tianhou Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, praying for the protection of the gods. There are also exquisite murals and beautiful reliefs on the walls of the temple.
