Tran Hung Dao Temple, Buddhist temple in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
The temple features a main gate with curved tile roofs decorated with dragons and phoenixes, displaying four prominent Chinese characters meaning 'Hung Dao Emperor'.
Built in 1932 on the grounds of Van An Pagoda, the temple underwent major reconstruction in 1957 under architect Nguyen Manh Bao's direction.
The interior halls showcase intricate wood carvings, gilded artworks, and detailed reliefs depicting the historical battles and achievements of the Tran dynasty.
The main entrance opens during full moon days, the 30th day of lunar months, and major festivals, while visitors use two side gates for regular access.
A 1.7-meter bronze statue of Tran Hung Dao sits on a throne holding a military manual in the main shrine room.
