Miếu Nổi, Temple on Vam Thuat River in Go Vap, Vietnam
The three-section temple stands above water, connected to land only by small boats crossing the Vam Thuat River, a branch of the Saigon River.
Constructed over 300 years ago, this temple served as a spiritual center for sailors seeking protection before embarking on maritime journeys along the Saigon River.
The temple contains three worship areas dedicated to different deities, including Buddha Maitreya and the Five Elements Holy Mother statues.
Visitors access the temple between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM daily, with extended hours until 8:00 PM during festivals and full moon celebrations.
The temple requires a ten-minute wait and five-minute boat journey across the river, making water transport the only method to reach this structure.
