Vietnam, Saigon, March 2010
The Thien Hau Temple ("The Lady Temple") is rebuilt many times since its first construction in 940 A.D. The current incarnation of Thien Hau dates from 1900. The temple is dedicated to Lady Thien Hau, the sea goddess, who left two giant stone turtles to keep an eye on the temple in her absence. | |
