Traveler reviews
Miroslav Pelikan
★★★★★3 months agoThich Quang Duc Monument is a simple but very powerful place. Even though it is next to busy streets, the small park around the statue feels calm enough to stop for a moment and think about what happened here. The monument is well kept and includes information that helps you understand the story and sacrifice of Thich Quang Duc. I recommend visiting with an open and respectful mind. It’s a short stop that stays with you for a long time.

★★★★★3 months agoVery interesting cultural experience!! We went during the evening hours as it is extremely hot during the day. Most of the monuments were in English as well so it made the visit easier to digest. This location was included in our city tour package...well worth the visit!!
