Chùa Viên Quang

Vien Quang Pagoda is a quietly significant Buddhist center in the city of Châu Đốc, An Giang province. Originally the home of a physician named Viên Quang, the property was donated to the Buddhist community and has served since 1993 as the headquarters of An Giang's provincial Buddhist administration. Its compact two-storey building houses both administrative offices and a serene upper-floor worship hall, making it an unusual pagoda where governance and devotion share the same roof. For travelers exploring Châu Đốc's rich spiritual landscape—famous for its Khmer wats, Chinese temples, and the mountain shrine of Bà Chúa Xứ—Vien Quang Pagoda offers a glimpse of the city's Mahayana Buddhist tradition and the behind-the-scenes life of a provincial monastic community.
