  • It is a temple of Cao Dai religion. The temple is good looking from the outside, but nearly empty inside. Cannot compare to the Tay Ninh Cao Dai temple. Vao Dai is a kind of mixture of buddhism, catholic, taoism, confucianism etc., which is originated from Tay Ninh, near Saigon.
  • We walked by here when visiting the night market, impressed by the two-tower architecture and heavily coloured in a Vietnamese tone.
  • Dunno why this is #1 on tripadvisor. There was one better (a lot) 300m to the west (beach). This one was half stuck onto somebodys house.
  • Nice place. Very colourfull church and friendly ppl
  • Not that much to see... the place seems empty
