The city's largest Chinese temple, Wat Mangkon Kamalawat (Temple of the Lotus and the Dragon). It is a complex of buildings in a typical Chinese style, built in 1872; its roof and entrance are decorated with traditional stone dragons, and the main pagoda is adorned with numerous golden Buddha statues. Nearby are Confucian and Taoist shrines. The temple remains a center of Chinese culture in Thailand: national holidays, carnivals and the annual vegetarian festival are held here.
