Queen of Heaven Shrine in Cholon Saigon Holds Ancient Devotion
The temple of Tien Hau in Cholon Saigon is a 200 year old shrine serving Chinese Saigonese worshipers and seafarers. Pilgrims, beggars, and fortune seekers visit as festivals draw crowds. Blue smoke from joss sticks fills the air while offerings are burned and later shared as meals.
