Giác Viên Pagoda, Buddhist temple in District 11, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
The pagoda features two connected buildings with wooden columns and yin-yang tile roofs, maintaining the traditional Vietnamese architectural style of the 1800s.
Founded in 1805 as Quan Am Vien during the renovation of Giac Lam Pagoda, this temple received its current name Giac Vien in 1850.
