This was, for us anyway, simply a photo opp while walking through the HCM palace gardens. If you are there anyway, definitely go buy and take a picture.

I went there expecting something big or unique. But the pagoda didn't impress me at all. It looked very basic to me. But then, this might be due to my high expectations. You won't miss much if you skip this one.
