Right near my house in Ho Chi Minh City is a small suburban temple that was once dusty, decrepit and nondescript.
About ten years ago the new Abbott began to rebuild it, and these days it is one of the most beautiful temples in the City.
It is one of the few temples to have a dedicated full-time gardener (who also happens to be a monk), and the grounds are kept in pristine condition.
Chua Vien Giac is well worth a visit, not just for its lovely garden, but for its unique architecture, based on traditional Hue styles.
