Kwan Yin is much loved in Vietnam, where she is known as Quan The Am.
Temples always feature a little shrine to her somewhere on the premises, and some temples outdo themselves to create elaborate shrines to the Gentle Mother.
Such statues often attract a cult following, and particular statues are thought to possess particular lucky energies.
One could create a map of Ho Chi Minh City based on the various shrines to the Goddess of Mercy and what they are meant to bestow upon the sincere worshipper.
