I am torn in writing this review. Frankly I would not travel the 3 hours it takes to get here just to see this place, but as to the place itself it is very beautiful, so I am rating it based on that. We went as part of a tour, and arrived to watch the midday ceremony which was very nice. The church and the grounds are all very beautiful and you can easily spend an hour here just looking around and observing. There are some monkeys around, but they do not really bother people. There were people with short here, but it is not really allowed - nonetheless they do not stop you. You do need to take off your shoes when entering and are not allowed to walk in front of the church during the ceremony. All in all very nice, but would only suggest as part of a larger tour or if you are in the area. I am not sure on the entry fee as this was part of a tour.

Interesting religion and was born from Vietnam based from Confuciousnism, Taoism, and Buddhism with sprinkle of America, Christianity, Hinduism. This rather complex religion is uniquely Vietnam and has practise/ritual that really unique with impressive architecture. Come with open mind and get a good tour guide to provide you the necessary information. Careful with monkeys around here. They may grab your belongings when you aren't looking.
This temple is huge and very beautiful. Beautiful architecture outside and within. We went there as part of our tour and did not pay any entry fees. As per our guide, this is a different religion which is mixture of buddhism, christianity and confucianism. Many devotees gather here every day to offer their players. Watching the prayer is a great experience. Be careful about the monkeys outside as they are not very friendly.
It's temple for Cao Dai. It's a little different from the other religion's temple. It's very huge and very beautiful. There is nothing inside. But it's worth to visit and see.
Gorgeous temple and good to know about the history of the religion. Also a nice monkey forest in the area.
I came here when there was a ceremony that many people take part of. I felt it very holy. The place is very big an colourful.
A long drive from Saigon. If you’re on your way to somewhere and this is on the way, then it’s good place for a quick visit but if you’re only going to this place from the city, I would recommend to think twice.
A long journey from Ho Chi Minh City so would recommend pairing this with a tour of something else in the region (e.g. the tunnels). Word of caution - you have to leave your shoes outside and unfortunately there is a risk (as happened to one of our party) that they may be stolen.
