    After that, we transfer to the Cao Đài Temple which has been described as a Walt Disney fantasia of the East. The temple’s exterior is decorated with multi-colored dragons of all shapes and sizes competing for space with a number of swastikas. Above the main entrance is the all-seeing holy eye, the symbol of the Cao Đài sect. The interior is just as engaging as statues of Jesus, Buddha, Confucius and Laozi stand side by side. Admire the beautiful building of Cao Đài’s biggest temple and join the ceremony to understand more about this uniquely Vietnamese religion. Your delicious lunch will be served at a local restaurant. Savor the flavors of authentic Vietnamese cuisine while taking in the ambiance and hospitality of the locals.
