Address: 34 Hung Vuong – Cam Pho – Hoi An
The predecessor of Vien Giac Pagoda was the village pagoda named Cam Ly in Xuyen Trung. But because of its old location next to the river, the land along the bank was eroded, so in 1841, this pagoda was moved by King Thieu Tri to 34 Hung Vuong – Hoi An today.Vien Giac Pagoda is a few ancient Hoi An temples, but mixes modern architecture of Asian shades, with traditional Vietnamese and Chinese architecture. This temple was granted the status of National Historical-Cultural Monument on 29/11/1991.
The temple has a simple layout, but still exudes majesty. In the middle of the altar is a statue of the meditating Shakyamuni Buddha seated on the lotus calyx, in front of which are statues of infant Shakyamuni, Guan Shiyin and Tibetan Bodhisattva decorated on either side.
