Tickets

20,000 VND (free under 16)

Address

76 Hang Buom Street, in the Old Quarter

Said to date from the 11th century, the temple honours the white horse spirit that guards the city. Step off a busy shop street and you are suddenly in an incense-filled courtyard with red-lacquered pillars and a white horse figure. It is small; 20–30 minutes is plenty, and it fits neatly into an Old Quarter walk. Reports say an entrance fee began in December 2025.
