Xa Loi Pagoda is a historic Buddhist temple in District 3, built in the 1950s and famous for its role in the 1963 Buddhist crisis during the South Vietnamese era. The pagoda houses a significant collection of Buddhist relics and features a striking seven-story tower that dominates the local skyline. It remains an active place of worship and a powerful reminder of Vietnam's turbulent modern history. Visitors are drawn by both its spiritual significance and its architectural beauty, making it an essential stop for anyone exploring District 3's cultural heritage.

“Xa Loi Pagoda in District 3 is calm and beautiful — a good counterpoint to the noise of the city. Walked from there through the backstreets before heading back to the hotel. Booked a 60-minute aromatherapy massage. Therapist arrived in 40 minutes. The whole afternoon felt like a deliberate, quiet Saigon day.”
