Located on Dang Van Bi Street in HCM City’s Thu Duc District, Nam Thien Nhat Tru (Southern One Pillar Pagoda) is not only a place of worship for local Buddhists but also a well-known tourist destination thanks to its unique architecture.
The southern One Pillar Pagoda is located on Dang Van Bi Street in HCM City’s Thu Du District.
Modelled after the One Pillar Pagoda in Hanoi, Nam Thien Nhat Tru consists of a small one-room temple hall rising on a 12-metre pillar.
Made of reinforced concrete, the Southern One Pillar Pagoda worships the Multi-armed Quan Am (Goddess of Mercy).
It is in the middle of the 600sq.m Dragon Eye Lake, which is home to fish, tortoises and lotuses.
Spread over a hectare, Nam Thien Nhat Tru was built in 1958 by Superior Buddhist Monk Thích Tri Dung based on a design by architect Nguyen Gia Duc.
It has become an integral part of the cultural and spiritual life of local Buddhists.
