Ong Pagoda (Quang Trieu Assembly Hall)
Chùa Ông / Quảng Triệu Hội Quán
A clan hall built by Chinese from Guangzhou and Zhaoqing in 1894, dedicated to Guan Yu, whose woodcarvings and incense coils reflect Chinese migrant history.
Quang Trieu Assembly Hall, commonly known as Ong Pagoda, was built at the end of the 19th century by overseas Chinese from the Guangzhou and Zhaoqing prefectures. Its main deity is Guan Di (Guan Yu), and it also enshrines Thien Hau (Mazu) and Guanyin. The temple uses traditional South China brick-and-timber construction, and it is notable for its carved beams and columns, ceramic roof ridges and huge hanging spiral incense coils. It is a national-level historic and cultural relic. Admission is free and it is open roughly 7:00–17:00. It stands directly opposite Ninh Kieu Wharf on Hai Bà Trưng Street. Please keep quiet inside, and do not photograph worshippers indiscriminately.
