The Colors represent the three religions. White is for Cao Di religion.
I took a day trip to the Cao Di Temple and to Cu Chi Tunnels. The Temple is the main temple for the Cao Di religion, a religion mixing 3 other religions; Catholicism, Budhisim and Hinduism. The red, yeallow and Blue represent each religion (I know red is Catholicism but don't know the other 2). The Temple was colorfull and the cerimony beautiful. The Cu Chi tunnels are where the people in the south were fighting for the north and used them to move around and hide from the Americans, also set up many booby traps to catch the enemy.

Had a great time and will be posting pictures from the Mekong Delta later.
