Jade Emperor Pagoda (Chùa Ngọc Hoàng)

I would describe this Taoist temple as atmospheric. It's relatively small and made up of multiple chambers full of fascinating statues and carved wooden panels. Various levels of incense smoke fill each chamber.
The temple is also known as the Tortoise Pagoda or the Sea Luck Temple. It is a bit of a multi-faith temple, as characters from Buddhist lore are also represented in the carvings and statues.
Apparently Obama made a stop here during his 2016 visit to the country.
