Jade Emperor Pagoda

The Jade Emperor Pagoda also known as the Phước Hải Tự is a Taoist, Buddhist, Confucian pagoda located at District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. It was founded by a Chinese merchant named Liu Daoyuan (劉道源, Lưu Minh or Lưu Đạo Nguyên), a Cantonese migrant. It is also known from 1984 by the new Buddhist name Phước Hải Tự (福海寺, "Luck Sea Temple"). Then U.S. President Barack Obama paid a visit to the pagoda during his state trip to Vietnam on 22 May 2016.
