Location: At the foot of Sam Mountain, Vinh
Te Commune, Chau Doc Town, An Giang Province.
Characteristics: Ba Chua Xu Temple is constructed according to the
Chinese character "quoc", has 4 square roofs, roofed with blue pile-shaped
tiles.
Ba Chua Xu Temple was built in 1820 on Sam Mountain. According to a legend, in
the early 1800s villagers found a statue of a lady dating to the 6th century in
the forest. They built a temple in her honour, hoping that she would bring them
better crops and better lives. This is why the marble statue of Ba Chua Xu,
meaning "country lady," is worshipped. Ba Chua Xu Festival is organized annually
at the end of the 4th lunar month; worshippers touch her statue and ask for her
protection and benediction.
