Arrive at 4pm to catch golden hour light hitting the intricate wooden pillars before the incense smoke clogs your lungs. Spend 30 minutes max, then head to the nearby wharf. Skip the overpriced three-pagoda tour; grab the $29 Mekong sunset cruise instead. You get a solid vegan dinner and a chill canal ride out of it. It turns a quick, dusty temple walk into the actual highlight of your trip. Don't overthink it.
