    Next, we move on to the Cao Đài Temple, often likened to a Walt Disney masterpiece set in the East. The temple's facade is adorned with vibrant dragons of various forms, intermingled with numerous swastikas. The all-seeing sacred eye, representative of the Cao Đài faith, oversees the main entrance. Inside, it's equally captivating with figures of Jesus, Buddha, Confucius, and Laozi standing in harmony.
