Today we went to the Jade Emperor Pagoda, also known as Phuoc Hia Tu or Chua Ngoc Hoang.
It was a photographer's heaven, and if there are any other travelers reading this, it's definitely worth the trip. It is not, however, so near the Museum of History and Botanical Gardens as some guidebooks say. Given another chance on a hot day I would spring for a taxi ride between those two stops.One especially interesting room had an altar to the Chief of Hell with ten carved-wood panels depicting the ten torments of hell.
