Better to Know about Dinh Ba Temple (Phu Quoc)
Constructed in unknown year, not too far from the beach and Dinh Cau Temple, Dinh Ba Temple at Duong Dong is an important spiritual place in Phu Quoc. Here, Vietnamese people have worshipped ‘Kim Giao goddess’ who is believed to be a princess of Khmer kingdom from present-day Cambodia, along with ancestors of local communities in the area. This goddess is honored and commemorated because of her contributions in reclaiming the island of Phu Quoc. She is also known as ‘Thuy Long Thanh Mau’ (Water Dragon Holy Goddess’ in English). On the 15th day of the first lunar month, a festival will be taken place at the temple.
There is another place called ‘Dinh Ba Temple’ at Ong Lang Beach, north Phu Quoc. However, the figure worshipped here is the wife of Nguyen Trung Truc who fought against French colonists in the 1860s.

Dress Code at Dinh Ba Temple (Phu Quoc)
Dinh Ba Temple is a temple, so all visitors should wear respectfully. It’s needed to use a shirt covering the armpits, shoulder and navel, and pants covering the upper knees. For example, tank top, crop top, shorts are not appropriate. Making sure that nowhere is see-through. Vietnamese traditional costume – Ao dai (the long dress) is highly recommended from local authorities.
Before entering the worshipping building, it’s needed to take shoes off (wearing shocks is okay), remove hat, rain poncho and sunglasses (for the umbrella, don’t bring inside!).
By the way, every visitor is advised getting one incense stick only if want to pray. The smoke from burning incenses will harm cultural and architectural heritages (like fire). It also helps to reduce air pollution.
