The Thien Hau Temple (Vietnamese: Miếu Thiên Hậu), officially the Tue Thanh Guildhall (Hội quán Tuệ Thành),[1] is a Chinese-style temple of the Chinese Goddess of Sea, Mazu on Nguyễn Trãi Street in the Cholon ("Chinatown") of District 5 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
The roof is decorated with small delicately fashioned porcelain figurines expressing themes from Chinese religion and legends.
The exposed portions of the courtyard contain incense burners, and open the view to the remarkable porcelain dioramas that decorate the roof.
The dioramas show scenes from a 19th-century Chinese city, and include such colorful figures as actors, demons, animals, and Persian and European sailors and traders.
In one scene, actors depict a duel on horseback battle between the revered halberd-wielding general Guan Yu of the novel Three Kingdoms and another fighter.
