Tay An Pagoda
Chùa Tây An
An ancient temple completed in 1847 that blends an Indian-style dome with traditional Vietnamese architecture, housing hundreds of carved wooden Buddha statues.
Tay An Pagoda sits at the foot of Sam Mountain, opposite the Lady of the Mountain Temple. It was founded in 1847 by the governor of An Giang and has been repaired many times. Its architecture is distinctive: the main hall’s roof is an Indian-style dome, while the eaves follow traditional Vietnamese upturned curves, and black and white elephant sculptures stand at the entrance. The temple houses hundreds of finely carved wooden Buddha statues. It is a national-level historic and cultural relic. Admission is free, and visitors should dress modestly.
