Chùa Keo temple, Buddhist temple in Vũ Thư District, Thái Bình Province, Vietnam
The temple complex contains multiple wooden structures with detailed carvings decorating the walls, pillars, and roof elements throughout the buildings.

The temple maintains regular Buddhist ceremonies where visitors can observe traditional rituals, including incense offerings and meditation sessions led by resident monks.
The temple welcomes visitors daily from sunrise to sunset, with guided tours available in Vietnamese, while photography inside the main hall requires special permission.
