Binh Dong Temple

 

Under the pressure of urbanization, Saigon’s canals and old wharves gradually became street names or distant memories of nostalgic people. Let’s take a trip down memory lane with SFP to the last old Saigon wharf boats that still exist. Because tomorrow, we probably won’t see each other again! On this trip, you will experience traveling on a rare remaining boat, experience river life right in Saigon and learn about Southern temple culture.

There, you can feel the ups and downs and the strong vitality of the Southern people through the words of living witnesses.
