Thien Hau Temple, Chinese Buddhist temple in Cholon, Vietnam.
The temple features porcelain dioramas depicting scenes from a 19th-century Chinese city, with figures of actors, demons, animals, and European traders.
The temple was established in 1760 by the Cantonese community and underwent several renovations in 1800, 1842, 1882, 1890, and 1916.
The main altar contains three statues of Mazu, the sea goddess with bronze-colored faces and colorful garments, receiving prayers from maritime workers.
The temple opens daily from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, allowing visitors to explore its artifacts, including a large bronze bell from 1830.
During the celebration of Mazu's Birthday on the lunar calendar's third month, the goddess statue processes through District 5's Chinatown streets.
