We stopped for only an hour to have a drink on China Beach. If time permits, be sure to allow a few days to spend on this unspoiled beach.

Scattered throughout the Old Quarter are pagodas and temples such as the Huyen Thien Pagoda at 54 Hang Khoai. These places of worship are quite active even today, and people of all ages may be seen especially during auspicious lunar days. Tourists may walk into the pagodas, and are welcome to take pictures.
