Quan Cong Temple Chùa Ông
Temple to Quan Cong on Trần Phú
The temple at 24 Trần Phú built for Quan Công in the mid-17th century. In the main hall he sits in a dragon robe beside two attendants and two life-size horses, one white and one red. A short stop on the Trần Phú walk; on the 16th of the first lunar month it fills with worshippers.

Walk in from 24 Trần Phú. Four buildings stand in a chữ khẩu plan: a front court, two side houses, and a main hall, under a tube-tile roof carved with dragons. The main hall holds Quan Vân Trường in a dragon robe, the attendant Châu Thương, the adopted son Quan Bình, and two horses the size of real horses, a white one and a red hare. The hall also keeps poems written in 1775 by Xuân Quận Công Nguyễn Nghiễm, the father of Nguyễn Du, with replies by Uông Sĩ Cư and Nguyễn Lệnh Tân.

The hall dates to about 1653, built by Hoa merchants settled in the port together with Minh Hương and Vietnamese neighbours. It became a national historic relic on 29 November 1991. On the combination ticket it is the other landmark choice beside the Japanese bridge.
Come in the morning, unless your date is the 16th of the first lunar month, when the crowd comes for Nguyên tiêu. In a flood week Trần Phú can be under water.
Getting there and around
The hall is at 24 Trần Phú, in the old town. Walk from the lanes off the core.
