The Cao Dai religion's colourful kitsch-like architecture mixes influences from different world religions.

Join a daily mass at noon with a congregation mostly dressed in all white. See the Divine Eye watch over a hall supported by 28 dragon-encrusted columns.

Cao Dai is a syncretist religion founded in Vietnam in the 1920s. Statues of different religious leaders including Jesus, Buddha, Confucius and Lao Tze share the altar stage.

The temple also has statues of the religion's saints including China's first president Sun Yat-sen and the French writer Victor Hugo!

Cao Dai Holy See is in the town of Tay Ninh, about 100km from Ho Chi Minh City. Easiest way to get there is to take a day tour that also includes a visit to the famous wartime Cu Chi tunnels. Visit any tour agency in Ho Chi Minh City.

Mekong is the 12th longest river in the world and one of the most important rivers in south-east Asia.

Take a two-three day tour from Ho Chi Minh City, drive along the rivers by boat and see how the locals live in the countryside.

The tours include visits to local food producers and a memorable early morning boat ride to the famous floating market.

All the tour agencies in Ho Chi Minh City can arrange the tours. Accommodation and foods are included.
