The
Ba Chua Xu Temple was built in 1820 on Sam Mountain in An Giang
province. According to a legend, in the early 1800s villagers found
a statue of a lady dating back to the sixth century, in the forest.
They built a temple in her honour, hoping that she would bring them
better crops and better lives. This is why the marble statue of
Ba Chua Xu, meaning 'Country Lady,' is worshipped.
