[Hanoi Tourism] Hanoi's oldest temple "Tran Quoc Pagoda" 🏯✨

Chùa Trấn Quốc Pagoda, located on the shores of Lake West in Hanoi, is one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Vietnam. The impressive red tower reflecting on the water is a popular photo spot as well as a historical value 📸🌿.

Highlights

1. Beautiful scenery that looks like it is floating on the lake 🌊

This temple, built on a small peninsula jutting out into Lake West, is reflected on the water in a fantastic way. Especially at dusk, the contrast between the red sky and the lake is spectacular 🌅.

2. 15m-tall red pagoda 🛕

The red pagoda (stupa) that stands tall in the temple grounds was built in the 16th century and has a total of 11 floors. Each floor has a Buddha statue enshrined, making it the symbol of the temple.

3. A sacred space enveloped in silence🙏

The calm atmosphere will help you forget the hustle and bustle of central Hanoi. Locals also come here to pray, so it's perfect for a quiet visit to clear your mind.

The historic Tran Quoc Temple is one of the must-visit spots in Hanoi. Why not take a leisurely stroll around the beautiful temple while feeling the cool breeze by the lake?
