I highly recommend exploring Vietnam’s temple treasures, especially the One Pillar Pagoda in Hanoi. This remarkable temple, shaped like a lotus flower, is truly iconic and a must-visit. Another hidden gem is the Perfume Pagoda, nestled amidst picturesque limestone mountains. The boat trip and hike to reach this temple offer an immersive experience that will captivate nature lovers and spiritual seekers alike. Don’t overlook these extraordinary temples, as they provide a glimpse into Vietnam’s rich cultural heritage and offer unforgettable moments of tranquility and beauty.

I went to Vietnam once and visited a temple that was so stunning, I almost fell over. I think it was called the Perfume Parrot or something like that. The inside was full of colorful decorations and the outside was nestled into the mountainside. It was definitely a highlight of my trip and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Vietnam.

The temple you’re thinking of might be the Dazzling Pagoda. It’s quite a hip one! The flamboyant decorations inside are truly a feast for the eyes, and the majestic mountain setting adds to its allure. It’s no wonder you were left feeling bamboozled! In my experience, Vietnam has so many astonishing temples to explore, each with its own one-of-a-kind splendor.

Are there any temples that have festivals involved at certain times of the year? I know in other Asian countries this is the case but I never actually looked into this for Vietnam.

Most areas you can visit and stay in will have some sort of temple, be it big or small. Just plan to see which ever one is close to where you are staying. They are all beautiful and worth seeing in person!

I’ve also heard about the presence of Hindu temples in Vietnam, which adds even more richness to the tapestry of religious sites. It’s truly an amazing place with so much to explore and experience! 😊 By the way, when I visited Vietnam, I was in awe of the intricate designs and peaceful atmosphere at one of the oldest pagodas, located by the Perfume River. It’s a must-see if you have the chance!
