Attractions of Sapa #20 The Mau Son Temple
The Mau Son Temple was constructed about 200 years ago and is the most important spiritual site in the Sapa region. It was refurbished in 2013 and is extremely important to the local people here.
Dedicated to the Holy Mother Lieu Hanh the local people come here to pray and ask for help for the poor and to support the imperial court against foreign invaders. Lady Lieu Hanh is considered the mother of all people in Vietnam and is extremely well revered. She represents the virtues of Confucianism and is honoured by the Vietnamese as one of the four immortal saints. She is worshiped throughout the country.
The temple is a tranquil place that will transport you to another time. It really is like stepping back into history. The temple welcomes approximately 40,000-50,000 visitors every year. Int has grown to be an important attraction to the whole Sapa area.
