Ba Chua Xu Temple

Ba Chua Xu Temple, also known as the Holy Mother of the Realm is a solemn and ancient architecture built in 1820. The layout of the temple looks like the writing of the Chinese characters with the shape of a blooming lotus and 4 blue tiles roofs. 

There is also a main house, west and east corridors and a guest house in the area of Ba Chua Xu Temple. According to An Giang Records Book, in 2009, this temple was recognized as the oldest sandstone statue in Vietnam. 

Legend tells that the Holy Mother helped the villagers to fight back the Siam Army in the past while blessing good weather and rich harvesting seasons to them. Thus, worshippers often come here a lot to touch her statue and ask for her blessing and protection, especially at the annual festival from 23rd to 27th in the 4th lunar month.
