From imposing inscriptions to the giant skeletons, such are the sights that would greet visitors to the Van Thuy Tu Temple which is located near Anantara Mui Ne Resort & Spa, categorised as a resort in Mui Ne. This Vietnam hotel will offer you easy access to embark on a tour of this beautiful temple which would certainly add colour to your vacation, here in Vietnam.
A wide collection of Vietnamese and Chinese cultural relics are on display at the temple which also sees around 100 skeletons of the whale species housed within its premises. However it is the sight of the 22 metre long whale skeleton that continues to draw in large volumes of curious visitors throughout the year. Completed in the 1762 with an objective of honouring a gigantic whale which is believed to have saved fishermen out at sea in the past, the temple should definitely be considered should you be in the vicinity. This skeleton is considered to be the biggest of its kind in all of Southeast Asia. Whale worship is said to have originated from these parts and tourists can still encounter traces of this ancient practice when visiting the Van Thuy Tu Temple in Vietnam.
