On our second day in Ho Chi Minh City, we planned to visit the Buu Long Pagoda located in District 9 away from the city center. We started the day by taking a grab to the temple as it was the most convenient transportation for us. After around an hour, we’ve already reached the temple. From the gate you need to walk a bit more inside to reach the main pagoda. Even the walk from the gate is already serene and peaceful, only the sound of nature can be heard. At the end of the walk, the main pagoda is towering over us as the main grounds is elevated with the temple itself being elevated also. What’s unique with this temple is that the style is more like the Thailand temples. Some also say it’s the most beautiful temple in Vietnam. And since the architecture is considered to be sacred, it is advised to dress modestly and follow instructions regarding taking off of shoes. We took lots of photos of the temple and the whole grounds as everything were very photo-worthy. The weather being very hot still produced very pretty photos. There are a lot of trees so it’s also windy despite being very hot. Also it was also relaxing hearing the bells on top of the temple while we were exploring the whole area.
