Not only is District 3 famous for its high-rise buildings, attractive destinations, and entertainments, but it also attracts domestic and foreign customers by the monumental and unique architecture of pagodas and churches.

In this post, we will divulge some information about these famous churches and pagodas in District 3 of Ho Chi Minh City.

 

Catholic Churches in District 3

Tan Dinh Church

 

Located at 289 Hai Ba Trung, Ward 8, District 3, Ho Chi Minh City. Tan Dinh Church stands out in the center of the city by its gentle and lovely pink color.

 

In 1876, the church was built in a classical European style. Unique and impressive designs bring a sense of nostalgia, but they are no less dignified and splendid. The catechism, association activities, and rectory are the three areas that make up the church grounds.

 

Every evening, standing in front of the church gate, you can easily hear each bell ringing throughout the sky, giving you a sense of peace.

 

Ky Dong Church

 

Ky Dong Church, also known as the Redemptorist Church,  is one of the most famous churches of the former Saigon. It was constructed during colonial times, apparent in the combination of triangular and round arch shapes, featuring a blend of modern and ancient architecture.

 

In between the two main arches is the image of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, the patron saint of the church. Inside this open church, there is a simple layout, but it still exudes dignity. On one side of the church, there is a small shop selling many items, such as books, souvenirs, and candles, in many shapes and sizes.

 

Dressed in an ancient feature, the church stands out in the center of District 3 with a pure and fresh white color. It not only attracts parishioners to attend the ceremony but also is a place for everyone to come to pray and ask for grace when facing the difficulties or joys of life.

 

Famous pagodas in District 3

Chùa Vĩnh Nghiêm

 

The pagoda is located on a spacious campus, about 6,000 m2, close to Nam Ky Khoi Nghia street. The architecture of the pagoda follows the ancient style of Northern Vietnam, but with modern techniques and construction materials. This was one of the typical Vietnamese Buddhist architecture in the 20th century.

 

The overall architecture includes the main items: the three gates, the central building and the stupas. In the middle of the temple yard is a tall statue of Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara. On the left is Avalokitesvara Tower, with seven floors; each floor in the tower is altar Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara.

 

Xa Loi Pagoda

 

Construction for this magnificent pagoda started on August 5, 1956, on an area of 2500 m2. Xa Loi Pagoda is one famous place that many tourists visit when traveling in Ho Chi Minh City. Designed according to modern architecture, this pagoda has still kept its national cultural nuances and characteristics of Saigon. This pagoda has been designated as a monument in honor of the battle fought by Buddhists against the discriminatory rule and religious persecution of the late President Ngo Dinh Diem.

 

3. Phap Hoa Pagoda

 

Established in 1928 was the Phap Hoa Pagoda. It is a famous spiritual place in the vibrant and bustling city of Saigon. Phap Hoa is located at 870 Truong Sa Street, Ward 14, District 3, right in the heart of District 3, so visitors can easily find it.  In 2015, the pagoda was recognized as a historical relic by the Association of Monuments Conservation.

 

The pagoda stands majestically and beautifully, shimmering next to the Nhieu Loc Canal. Just standing in front of it, visitors can feel the poetic and peaceful beauty of this temple.
