Unique places you must visit in Thu Duc city

1. Built from 2007-2013, the Gotama Cetiya relic stupa at Buu Long Pagoda (81 Nguyen Xien, Thu Duc City) is one of the largest and most magnificent Buddhist stupas in Vietnam.

Located on a low hill overlooking the Dong Nai River, the tower's architecture is a combination of the ancient Suvannabhūmi civilization style of Southeast Asia with some traditional Vietnamese elements and modern construction techniques.

The space inside the stupa is airy, simple and solemn. The floors of the stupa are where the relics of Buddha and the Holy Monks of Buddhism are worshiped.

From the top floor of the tower, you can see the whole Dong Nai River with attractive landscape. Since its inauguration, Gotama Cetiya stupa has become a popular destination for tourists from all over the country in the suburbs of Ho Chi Minh City.

2. The Hung Kings Memorial Area in the National Historical and Cultural Park in Thu Duc City was built from 2002-2009. It is the largest Hung Kings Temple in Ho Chi Minh City as well as the entire Southern region.

The temple has a total area of over 60 hectares with many different items, built according to the natural slope of Vien Hill land with the temple area located on the top of the hill.

Designed by architect Nguyen Truong Luu, the temple uses contemporary architectural language with strong lines and blocks to creatively express the traditional cultural values of the nation.

Nowadays, Hung Temple in Thu Duc City has become a meaningful tourist destination and pilgrimage site for the people of the South during the country's major holidays, especially the Hung King's death anniversary.

3. Located at 206/19, 30 Long Thuan, Thu Duc City, the Ao Dai Museum is home to a huge collection of Ao Dai designs of Vietnamese women from different periods.

The ao dai designs displayed here vividly reflect the "evolution" of the ao dai over time, from the 17th century four-panel ao dai to the ao dai designs of contemporary fashion designers.

Visitors to the museum will be surprised to see with their own eyes the styles of ao dai that were popular throughout history, such as the five-panel ao dai of the early 19th century, the modern ao dai of the 1930s-1940s, and the hippy ao dai of the years 1968-1975...

In particular, the Ao Dai Museum also owns many Ao Dai sets worn by famous Vietnamese women, such as People's Artist Tra Giang, diplomats Nguyen Thi Binh and Ton Nu Thi Ninh.
