On Lang Assembly Hall, usually known as Quan Am Pagoda, attracts a great many of Buddist followers to come to worship. The Assembly Hall was built at the end of 18th century as a head office of Quánzhōu based Hoa immigrants from Fujian province, China. This also serves as a place to worship Thien Hau Thanh Mau (Goddess of the sea) – the Goddess that protects sailors.

Built since late 18th century to the early 19th century, On Lang Assembly Hall is a relic of historical and cultural significance, but the most outstanding identity is its value of architectural art. The architecture of On Lang Assembly Hall was influenced by the style of ancient Chinese shrines, most notably the shapes and decorations of Fujian style roofed pipes. The front door is decorated with gold laces and embossed reliefs; on the walls are painted Chinese landscapes from the time of Quan Cong (Guan Gong). According to feng shui, in front of the monument there needs to be a lake or pond to keep the sacred spiritual chi. As a result, in 1809, the Board of Directors decided to build a lake to set caught fishes free at the opposite side of the temple.

Nowadays, not only Fujian people but a great number of Hoa ethnic people and Vietnamese and foreigners visit the Assembly Hall to pay respect to the Gods and pay homage to an architectural work that marks the cultural history of ancient Saigon.
