It's an unusual rarity.

The Temple of the Whale is located in the center of Phan Thiet. This is a very unusual attraction: in appearance it is a typical Buddhist temple, in its interior it is more like a museum.
The reason for the construction of the temple was the discovery by local fishermen of a dead whale of gigantic size. Four years later, in 1762, the temple of the whale was founded. It displays the skeleton of a found mammal with a length of 22 meters. It is believed that it was the largest whale in this part of Asia. His estimated weight during his lifetime was 65 tons. It's interesting to see and compare the size of this whale compared to you. And also imagine your helplessness in the ocean next to him.
