Review:
Temple of the Whale, or Lang Tan Temple, is home to what is claimed to be the largest whale skeleton in all of Southeast Asia. The temple is located on an island off the coast of Vietnam, and visitors flock there during the warmer spring season to worship the 200-year-old skeleton of what is called “The King of All Whales.”
It is recognized as a national historic site, and visitors bring many offerings to the skeleton as the Ly Son fisherman believe that whales protect them and bring them luck. Visitors will be able to get up close and personal with the 130-foot-long skeleton and see how locals interact with it in the temple.
