The Trấn Quốc Pagoda in Hanoi, Vietnam (swipe for a picture). . . . . (Before I start my educational rant on this significant building, can I just say that this build was BY FAR the hardest thing to create on my island. I never want to see another tree or plant in my life!) . . . . The Trấn Quốc Pagoda was constructed in the 6th century, making it almost 1,500 years old. It is the oldest Buddhist temple in the city, with several lotuses carved into the stone walls. Lotuses symbolize several things: the beauty of nature in Vietnam, the purity of the mind/body/speech, the achievement of enlightenment. The most interesting part about this place is it’s Bodhi Tree, Which was originally a cutting taken from the tree in India where the Buddha sat and taught. They also worship mothers here, which for them is a term for “female Buddhas”, or female gods. I went here last year, and although it was closed at the time of my visit, the clear reflection in the water is what makes it stand out. Definitely visit it at sunset for a magical experience :). . . .Sanat , heykel , müze , park , orman , arkeoloji , kitap, resim, kafe , çay

Its free but do respect the dress code by covering your shoulders and knees (for both genders no tank tops or short shorts)

Nice peaceful setting on side of lake. Part of lovely walk around the lake. Lake Street closed to cars in the weekend making the weekend a good time to visit.

The article describes, “Located on a small peninsula on the east side of West Lake, Tran Quoc Pagoda is the oldest pagoda in Hanoi. One of the best place we were able to explore while in hanoi . :) <3 Vietnam is one of the best country to explore . They have many beautiful places to explore 8/10

Very beautiful and lovely place for a walk. Very quiet even near the main road on the the bridge. Good to remember to get some covers for shoulders and maybe get long trousers, not shorts.

A beautiful Pagoda located close to the city center of Hanoi. This place is surrounded by a beautiful lake and a nice landscape. This place is a stopover in the Hanoi Hop on Hops Service. The surroundings are clean and everything looks stunning in terra-cotta colour. There are few hawkers selling beverages on the road if you water or coffee.

At nearly 1,500 years old, Tran Quoc Pagoda is one of the oldest pagodas in Hanoi. Admire Buddhist statues and shrines, a tall stupa, Vietnamese art and historic stelae (honorary inscriptions). Constructed between 544 and 548 during the Ly dynasty, the pagoda was originally called the “Khai Quoc.” The detailed building is exquisite and constructed according to the rules of Buddhist architecture. This includes three houses named “Tiền Đường” and a structure for incense burning. Walk through the connected rooms, which are in the shape of a Công script. View the 1639 inscription noting the pagoda’s history and the gold sculpture of the Sakyamouni Buddha's Parinirvana. Walk through the gardens to the bodhi tree and see its heart-shaped leaves. In 1959, Indian Prime Minister Rajendra Prasad, gave the tree as a gift to the pagoda. It is believed to be a graft from the holy tree under which Gautama Siddhartha achieved enlightenment. Visitors and pilgrims from all over the world come here to honor the site. The tall stupa, which can be seen from afar, was built in 1998 and is aligned with the bodhi tree. At just over 49 feet (15 meters) tall, the stupa has 11 floors. On each floor, six doors are guarded by a statue of Amitabha. Look for the large sculpted lotus flower at the top. The lotus symbolizes Buddha himself and the tree represents ultimate knowledge. While the museum inside is small in size, it is well worth exploring. View engraved statues and fascinating antiques ranging from hundreds to thousands of years old. Visit at sunset when the pink and orange colors reflect on the horizon behind the pagoda and the stupa. This temple is a little ways from the center of Hanoi, between West Lake and Truc Bach Lake.

Timing is 7:30 AM to 11:30 AM and 1:30 PM to 5:30 PM.

We really enjoyed visiting this Pagoda. It’s a nice break from the city and it’s very quiet. I would have rated this a 5-star experience, however there is very little to see (though we knew this going in) and there are tourist scammers within the Pagoda. These scammers act like they are from the Red Cross and are collecting survey information about your visit to Vietnam. These scammers will ask you fill out a questionnaire followed by asking for a donation. I offered very little money after filling out their sheet and the guy refused it! He kept bugging me for larger bills and then eventually walked away after I said that the money I offered was all I had. These scammers are usually wearing nice clothes and a larger shoulder bag. Their trick is to show you that they have collect tons of donations from other tourists as well. Avoid them and ask them to please go away.

This is a very popular Pagoda . We were in Hanoi during Tet holiday so when we visited it was very crowded many Vietnamese coming to pray 🙏. So many people but no pushing or shoving to get in everyone was very patient. My only disappointment was seeing rude overseas tourists taking selfies of themselves in front of people trying to pray . There is a time and place and I don't think that it's at a Pagoda during Tet . Its a beautiful serene place otherwise.

A beautiful buddhist temple on the outside (couldn’t get in, visited at the wrong time - thus can’t really do much justice to it), a big lake (some good views), and a lot of noise blend in to form the full picture.

(Translated by Google) Nice very nice (Original) Đẹp rất đẹp

Nice pagoda! We did not spend much time here but we did enjoy it. Many locals come there for prayer, so be respectful while there. The local children were there at the time trying to learn English. The children and their teacher approach you so the kids can hold a conversation with you to practice. It was quite an enjoyable experience. The West Lake is also a nice site. There were men fishing in the lake, and by fishing I mean walking around in the lake fishing. It was quite interesting.

A very nice holy, spiritual, peaceful temple, with multiple shrines. We visited during the day time and it was a peaceful experience even though right outside the temple the traffic was at its peak. We spent about an hour soaking in the great aura this place has, it is clean and maintained well. There is no entry fee here however you can donate money in the drop boxes located inside the temple.

Tran Quoc Pagoda is a most important Pagoda in the ancient Thang Long (Hanoi) was set up in the 6th Century about 541 - 548, and in 1615 was moved to the current location in the only peninsula the West Lake of Hanoi.

Symbol of age old tradition and worship. Calm and divine temple (pakoda) on west lake, use translator to read inscription and history display around the temple. Reading them gives an idea of how world and kingdom evolve and how this temple is related to the kingdoms, You can Buy some souvenir sold in front of the temple , but they will be priced high ,need to bargain at 1/4 of price to buy at right price, if you plan to go to night market then you can prefer to buy there instead of buying here.

(Translated by Google) Tran Quoc Pagoda is located on a single island of the largest freshwater lake in Hanoi. During the Hai Ba Trung period (40 - 43), the area around West Lake was very sparsely populated, with small and medium caves and forests covered, there were also a number of rare and precious animals in the forest. Through thousands of years of existence of the temple, the landscape here is now completely different. The lake bank is surrounded by large roads, villas and modern buildings are formed ... On the one hand, it shows the complete architectural perfection of the city, but on the other hand, accidentally breaks the historic landscape and spirituality in the living conception of the indigenous population. Above the door of the pagoda is inscribed with three words Phương Phương Môn and the opposite sentence written in Nôm on both sides: Ring the horse's ears across the customary street / Open the river face to stand at the door of meditation Like most other temples in Vietnam, the structure and interior of Tran Quoc Pagoda have an orderly arrangement and follow strict Buddhist principles. Consists of many layers of houses with three main houses: Tien Duong, incense burning house and upper house connected to the shape of the Cong (工) shape. The front line was headed west. The two sides of the incense burning house and the upper house are two rows of corridors. After the upper hall is the bell tower. The temple bell guard is a three-room house, with the roof of the match, located on the main hall axis. On the right is the ancestor's house and on the left is the beer house. In the temple currently holds 14 steles. On the 1815 inscription, there is an essay by Dr. Pham Quy Thich recording the reconstruction of the pagoda after a long period of ruin. This work began in 1813 and ended in 1815. Behind the pagoda, there are some ancient tombs from the Vinh Huu and Canh Hung dynasties (18th century). The temple campus has a lotus pagoda built in 1998. The large stupa consists of 11 floors, 15m high. Each floor of the tower has 6 arched doorways, in each cell is a gem statue of Buddha Amitabha. The top of the tower has a nine-story lotus (called the Nine-story Lotus) is also made of precious stones. This stupa is built in symmetry with the large bodhi tree donated by the President of India when he visited Hanoi in 1959. Venerable Thich Thanh Nha, Member of the Board of Directors of the Vietnamese Buddhist Church, Abbot of Tran Pagoda Quoc, has explained the symmetry as: "The lotus represents the Buddha's true nature, such as being born in the mud without being defiled. Bodhi is wisdom, unsurpassable wisdom. All of them have meaning. the essence and the phenomenon of dhammas ". The continental lotus stupa, Tran Quoc pagoda The pagoda was recognized as a national level cultural and historical relic in 1989. However, due to many restoration and repair times, the architecture of the pagoda cannot avoid being mixed with the architectural styles of the periods: In the years 1624, 1628 and 1639 (the Trinh Lord's time), the pagoda was restored and expanded. During the Tay Son period, in the context of a power dispute at the end of the Hau Le dynasty in Vietnamese history, the pagoda fell into disrepair, at that time local residents asked for a repair. The biggest restoration time was in the year of Hoi, the year Gia Long 14 (on the epitaph of Reconstructing Tran Quoc Tu bi, written by Doctor of Science in 1779 Pham Lap Trai) [1]. In 2010, the renovation was made to celebrate the 1000 year anniversary of Thang Long - Hanoi and the 6th World Buddhist Summit held in Vietnam in November 2010. The cost estimate of this restoration is 15 billion VND [2]. In the epitaph "Reconstructing Tran Quoc self-biased" written by the Doctor of Ky Hoi in the 40th year of Canh Hung, praised: "Standing high above to see the pagoda, the clouds in the water bottom, the blue light of the lake makes tourists dazzle. light. (Original) Chùa Trấn Quốc toạ lạc trên một hòn đảo duy nhất của một hồ nước ngọt lớn nhất ở Hà Nội. Vào thời Hai Bà Trưng (40 - 43), khu vực xung quanh Hồ Tây dân cư rất thưa thớt, có các hang động vừa và nhỏ và rừng cây bao phủ, trong rừng còn có cả một số loài thú quý hiếm sinh tồn. Cùng trải qua thời gian hàng nghìn năm tồn tại của ngôi chùa, cảnh quan nơi đây bây giờ được đổi khác hoàn toàn. Bờ hồ có đường lớn bao quanh, những ngôi nhà biệt thự và công trình hiện đại hình thành... Một mặt thể hiện sự hoàn thiện tổng thể kiến trúc của thành phố, nhưng mặt khác vô tình phá vỡ cảnh quan lịch sử và tâm linh trong quan niệm sống của số dân cư bản địa. Phía trên cửa chùa có ghi ba chữ Phương Tiện môn và câu đối hai bên viết bằng chữ Nôm: Vang tai xe ngựa qua đường tục/ Mở mặt non sông đứng cửa thiền Giống hầu hết những ngôi chùa khác ở Việt Nam, kết cấu và nội thất chùa Trấn Quốc có sự sắp xếp trình tự và theo nguyên tắc khắt khe của Phật giáo. Gồm nhiều lớp nhà với ba ngôi chính là Tiền đường, nhà thiêu hương và thượng điện nối thành hình chữ Công (工). Tiền đường hướng về phía Tây. Hai bên nhà thiêu hương và thượng điện là hai dãy hành lang. Sau thượng điện là gác chuông. Gác chuông chùa là một ngôi ba gian, mái chồng diêm, nằm trên trục sảnh đường chính. Bên phải là nhà tổ và bên trái là nhà bia. Trong chùa hiện nay đang lưu giữ 14 tấm bia. Trên bia khắc năm 1815 có bài văn của tiến sĩ Phạm Quý Thích ghi lại việc tu sửa lại chùa sau một thời gian dài đổ nát. Công việc này bắt đầu vào năm 1813 và kết thúc vào năm 1815. Phía sau chùa có một số mộ tháp cổ từ đời Vĩnh Hựu và Cảnh Hưng (thế kỉ 18). Khuôn viên chùa có Bảo tháp lục độ đài sen được xây dựng năm 1998. Bảo tháp lớn gồm 11 tầng, cao 15m. Mỗi tầng tháp có 6 ô cửa hình vòm, trong mỗi ô đặt một pho tượng Phật A Di Đà bằng đá quý. Đỉnh tháp có đài sen chín tầng (được gọi là Cửu phẩm liên hoa) cũng bằng đá quý. Bảo tháp này được dựng đối xứng với cây bồ đề lớn do Tổng thống Ấn Độ tặng khi ông đến thăm Hà Nội năm 1959. Thượng toạ Thích Thanh Nhã, Uỷ viên Hội đồng trị sự Giáo hội Phật giáo Việt Nam, Trụ trì chùa Trấn Quốc, đã giải thích sự đối xứng đó là: "Hoa sen tượng trưng cho Phật tính chân, như tính sinh ở dưới bùn mà không bị ô uế. Bồ đề là trí giác, trí tuệ vô thượng. Tất cả đều hàm ý nghĩa bản thể và hiện tượng của các pháp". Bảo tháp lục độ đài sen, chùa Trấn Quốc Chùa được công nhận là Di tích Lịch sử Văn hoá cấp quốc gia vào năm 1989. Tuy nhiên, do nhiều lần trùng tu, sửa chữa nên kiến trúc chùa đã không khỏi bị pha tạp phong cách kiến trúc của các thời kỳ: Trong các năm 1624, 1628 và 1639 (thời Chúa Trịnh), chùa được trùng tu, mở rộng. Trải qua thời Tây Sơn, trong bối cảnh tranh chấp quyền lực cuối thời Hậu Lê trong lịch sử Việt Nam ngôi chùa bị rơi vào cảnh hoang phế, khi đó cư dân địa phương đã xin được tu sửa lại chùa. Lần trùng tu lớn nhất là vào năm Ất Hợi, niên hiệu Gia Long 14 (trên văn bia Tái tạo Trấn Quốc tự bi do Tiến sĩ khoa 1779 Phạm Lập Trai soạn văn) [1]. Năm 2010, tu bổ để chào mừng Đại lễ 1000 năm Thăng Long – Hà Nội và Hội nghị Thượng đỉnh Phật giáo Thế giới lần thứ 6 tổ chức tại Việt Nam vào tháng 11/2010. Dự toán kinh phí của đợt tu bổ này là 15 tỷ đồng [2]. Trong văn bia "Tái tạo Trấn Quốc tự bi" do Tiến sĩ khoa Kỷ Hợi năm Cảnh Hưng thứ 40 soạn, đã ca ngợi: "Đứng trên cao ngắm cảnh chùa, mây lồng đáy nước, mặt hồ ánh xanh xanh khiến du khách lâng lâng. Tiếng chuông chùa gọi ai tỉnh mộng trần tục..."

Beautiful ancient pagoda right in the heart of Hanoi. Although there is little information to help you appreciate the history of this pagoda and it’s numerous structures, most will still likely be struck by its immense beauty. Warning that the hours are a bit weird and they close from about 11:30-1:30 in the middle of the day. I’d recommend this as an early morning excursion before setting off to explore other local sights in and around Hanoi.

Beautiful shrine on the water. No entrance fee to visit as well. I highly recommend visiting! It's walkable or a short taxi ride to other attractions as well. Be sure to walk all the way to the back since there is more then one side worth seeing!

Took a 15 min grab taxi from our hotel to Tran Quoc Pagoda. The place is beautiful to see. We were able to stroll along the lake as well

This is one of the pagodas built on the banks of the lake! A very pristine and enlightening cultural hotspot. You've got beautiful trees and birds around. A very well maintained garden. A clean entrance. But remember there's a sign outside that says. You can't wear shorts and you need to cover your shoulders. So remember this if you decide to visit. There's a highland right outside and they've got a beautiful lake around where you see locals fishing and selling really good soda! I could almost spend the. Entire day there!

The pagoda closes at 5:30pm. We didn’t make it inside but even from outside, this oldest of temples in Vietnam was a sight to see. A landmark in the huge West lake which if you were to traverse the circumference would reach 19kilometers

Though there’s not much to see inside, I’d recommend visiting this place while you are in the Tay ho area. It offers great views of lake and a serene atmosphere, providing the perfect opportunity to break away from busy streets brimming with motorcycles and do more walking in peace and quiet.

Must see location if visiting Hanoi. Small entry fee. Nice museum with a few turtles and beautifully maintained landscaping. Nice photo shots and a beautiful shrine.

(Translated by Google) The old temple is located on the bank of West Lake. National level cultural and historical relics. The scene is cool, clean. Solemnly decorated. Places are ranked in the list of Hanoi tourist attractions. Unfortunately, the pagoda is not open at noon but open according to office hours. (Original) Ngôi chùa cổ nằm bên bờ Hồ Tây.

(Translated by Google) History of Tran Quoc Pagoda Tran Quoc Pagoda was originally named Khai Quoc Pagoda, built in 541 in the Tien Ly period. At that time, the pagoda was located near the bank of the Red River, so when the dyke fell in 1615 (the reign of King Le Trung Hung), the pagoda was moved to the Yen Phu dyke on the Kim Nguu mound. Then, in the 17th century, Lord Trinh built the Co Ngu dyke (now Thanh Nien street) to connect with Kim Nguu island. The pagoda was renamed Tran Quoc pagoda in the reign of King Le Hy Tong (1681 - 1705) with the meaning that it would be a place to help people ward off natural disasters and bring a peaceful life to the people. And that name is used to this day. In the past, Tran Quoc Pagoda was the Buddhist center of Thang Long citadel. The Ly and Tran kings still used to visit and worship at the temple so many palaces were built to serve the king's rest: Thuy Hoa palace, Ham Nguyen palace. (Original) Lịch sử chùa Trấn Quốc Chùa Trấn Quốc ban đầu có tên là chùa Khai Quốc, xây dựng vào năm 541 thuộc thời Tiền Lý. Lúc đó, chùa nằm gần bờ sông Hồng bởi vậy khi đê sạt lở vào năm 1615 (đời vua Lê Trung Hưng), chùa được di dời vào phía trong đê Yên Phụ khu gò đất Kim Ngưu. Sau đó, trong khoảng thế kỉ 17, chúa Trịnh cho đắp đê Cố Ngự (nay là đường Thanh Niên) để nối với đảo Kim Ngưu. Chùa đổi tên thành chùa Trấn Quốc vào đời vua Lê Hy Tông (1681 – 1705) với ý nghĩa mong muốn đây sẽ là nơi giúp dân xua đi thiên tai, đem lại cuộc sống bình yên cho toàn dân. Và cái tên đó được sử dụng cho tới tận ngày nay. Xưa kia, chùa Trấn Quốc là trung tâm Phật giáo của kinh thành Thăng Long. Các vua Lý, Trần vẫn thường hay vãn cảnh và ngự giá cúng lễ vào các dịp lễ, Tết tại chùa bởi vậy mà có nhiều cung điện đã được xây dựng phục vụ việc nghỉ ngơi của vua: cung Thúy Hoa, điện Hàm Nguyên.

This was a very small site with the main iconic & unique Pagoda, and a few shrines, sat on a small island. Despite the site being quite small, the architecture is very beautiful, and the whole site being surrounded by water gives it a really nice serene feel. The shrines here are active shrines, so many people come here to pray/worship. When you're done here, might as well give Quan Thanh Temple a look as well. It's only about a 10 minute walk from Tran Quoc Pagoda, so it's worth the visit if you're down here.

This place was a little busy by the time we arrived but was still very peaceful and interesting to walk around and see. The architecture is beautiful as is it's location near Truc Bach. Will go again.

A small but peaceful temple set by the lake. Not large and not really much to see to stay around for as a tourist, but worth visiting quickly then walking along the lake.

If you really want to visit, please check the operating hour of the shrine. We came at closing hour, so we just only seeing from the far. Chua tran quoc is the oldest temple in Hanoi with more than 1500 years. This pagoda has a special attraction in which the ashes of important monks are stored. Different from most temples that are built on high places, this temple was built with a water landscape view. The reflection of the ancient pagoda in the lake is also a beautiful sight if you get the right moment.

Very nice sight to see in Hanoi, away from the hustle and bustle of the touristic center. Walk there and enjoy the area around the pagoda. Very peaceful.

Very beautiful place with a magnificent pagoda at the west lake of Hanoi. There is a big Pu Ti tree at the back of the temple. They said after pray to the Buddhas in the temple, we walk 3 rounds around the Pu Ti tree to wish for blessings …

Beautiful! One of the best places I visited in Hanoi! It’s free and quick to do and definitely worth going to see! The sign at the entrance said you had to cover up but they don’t check so a lot of people just entered with shoulders/knees showing.

A holy shrine very popular with locals . We reached when the temple was closed. The lake and the environment around is wonderful! Lots of vendors selling fruits etc . Can easily be walked from Ho Chi Minh Masoleum.

The first location we visited after checking-in to hotel. A 6th Century and oldest temple in Hanoi, Vietnam. The significance of this temple is its "pagodas" that are used to keep the remains of abbots and monks of this temple. There is also a bodhi tree planted in a garden emulating The Deer Park, the location where Buddha gave his 1st Sermon in Sarnath.

It’s probably first thing we did when we landed in Vietnam for a 10 days trip. It’s believed to be oldest Pagoda too. Very good maintained and peaceful spot for meditation. Best thing we learned was that there was a Sacred Tree ( Peepal ka Ped in India) gifted to Ex President Ho Chi Minh on his birthday in 1959 from India. Being an Indian , it was pretty good to see the sacred tree growth in such a holy place and work-shipped.

This beautiful and peaceful is one of the oldest pagoda in Hanoi. It is centrally located on a small island on West lake. The Trấn Quốc Pagoda in Hanoi is the oldest pagoda in the city, originally constructed in the sixth century. Monks have lived at the Trấn Quốc Pagoda for centuries, teaching the ways of Buddhism to the public Make sure to visit this place and keep it in your itinerary.

The place were good surrounding by the lake. The place is one of the stop when you booked a city bus tour. There’s many people visiting the place so better go there earlier. Outside the area you will see a lot of souvenir items that you can buy at a good price. Overall impression one of the must go places when you visit Hanoi, Vietnam.

Tran Quoc Pagoda is one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Hanoi. It is surrounded by the beautiful West Lake and is one of the most well-known tourist attractions in Hanoi. There is no entry fee on the day we visited. The opening time is 7:30 - 11:30 AM and 1:30 - 5:30 PM.

A very peaceful and spiritual place. It was built several years ago and it is still intact. There is no entry fee One can spend no.of hours he wants. In addition, there are good places there to capture the beautiful pictures. Moreover, one can offer prayers also there. Monks can be seen there.

Beautiful location we went on a Saturday and it was very slow not many people here. The pagoda is very photogenic.

This is a lovely part of the city to visit and wander around. It’s in easy walking distance but like many attractions does close early so make sure you plan the visit around it’s opening times of you want to go inside. The photos on this review are from the outside so you still get a great view.

The view over the lake is really beautiful. And it is very quiet and solemn. Come here at noon to see the beautiful sunset near the lake. After that, you could take a walk around the lake to highland coffee to spend your afternoon.

Very beautiful. The lake is stunning setting. A little quieter and able to appreciate without quite so much noise! The tourist hop on hop off bus stops here, was a pleasant way to be introduced to some of the more well known sights. The pagoda is definitely worth seeing, not just for a quick pic.

Pagoda has got historical importance. The timing are strict it closes between 11:30 to 1:30pm. It is situated around the lake. Beauty of the place is by surrounding. We spent only 15-20 mins though.

Ngôi chùa cổ có lịch sử trên 1500 năm. Là chùa lâu đời nhất thành Thăng Long, chứa đựng những nét văn hoá độc đáo nhất của người Việt.

Lúc đó, chùa nằm gần bờ sông Hồng bởi vậy khi đê sạt lở vào năm 1615 (đời vua Lê Trung Hưng), chùa được di dời vào phía trong đê Yên Phụ khu gò đất Kim Ngưu. Chùa đổi tên thành chùa Trấn Quốc vào đời vua Lê Hy Tông (1681 – 1705).

(Translated by Google) Located in the middle of West Lake, Tran Quoc pagoda was originally built in the reign of King Ly Nam De. Through different periods in the history of the pagoda, architecture has changed quite a lot but still maintains a harmonious and balanced beauty. The landscape of Tran Quoc pagoda together with Thanh Nien street, Quan Thanh temple, Truc Bach lake, Phu Tay Ho ... creates a very beautiful and rich cultural whole. Strolling in the cool early morning or afternoon is a must-do experience. (Original) Nằm giữa hồ Tây chùa Trần Quốc nguyên bản được xây dựng vào thời vua Lý Nam Đế. Qua các thời kỳ khác nhau trong lịch sử chùa đã thay đổi kiến trúc khá nhiều nhưng tuy nhiên vẫn giữ được vẻ đẹp hài hòa và cân đối. Cảnh quan chùa Trấn Quốc cùng với đường Thanh Niên, đền Quán Thánh, hồ Trúc Bạch, Phủ Tây Hồ,.... tạo nên một tổng thể rất đẹp và giàu có về văn hóa. Tản bộ vào sáng sớm hay chiều mát mẻ là một trải nghiệm nên làm khi đến đây.

Breathtaking destination with such a view over the West Lake, typical structure for ancient Vietnamese tradition of the Ly Dynasty. Famous for its religious means. P/s: Watch out for the pocket thieves!!

(Translated by Google) Doesn't it look like a building in Vietnam? I thought it was a building that seems to be in China or Indonesia. Personally, I wonder if Chinese culture is confused. I think Chinese was written somewhere (-_ ・) (Original) ベトナムにある建物とは思えない感じ？なんだか見た感じ中国とかインドネシアとかにありそうな建物だと思いましたね｡個人的な考えですけど､中国の文化が混同してるのかな？ 確か中国語がどこかに書いてあった気がしたな ( -_・)

Very beautiful place with a magnificent pagoda at the west lake of Hanoi. There is a big Pu Ti tree at the back of the temple. They said after pray to the Buddhas in the temple, we walk 3 rounds around the Pu Ti tree to wish for blessings on health, prosperity and career. There are also some comics on Karma. It's fun to read with a bunch of tourists.

One of the most beautiful temple in Vietnam

The temple is in the middle of the river, good view, beautiful atmosphere, lovely people, convenient to call grab.

Amazing place to watch and stroll around in good weather

Situated on a lake in downtown Hanoi, Tran Quoc is a sanctuary compared to the hustle and bustle of the rest of the city. Nice photo opportunities with the pagoda reflecting on the lakes service and ornate shrines within

A lovely and peaceful walk along the tranquil scenery before entering the Buddhist temple and visiting the oldest pagodas in Hanoi! The Tran Quoc Buddhist temple was a favorite place amongst the kings and royal families whenever any celebrations or events were held at the temple. The temple is located beside the peaceful river and it is a beautiful location for photography. Tran Quoc Pagoda is located approximately 5 minutes from the city center and it is very easy and convenient for visitors to get to the temple.

I was on a personal tour with Vy from Woman Vespa Riding Tours. Vy was fantastic, telling me the history, the meaning behind the different symbols. What the area ment to the local community past and present.

I walked around here as was walking around the West Lake. It is pretty small and underwhelming as I've seen many pagodas in my travels. Worth a look if walking by only.

Ancient pagoda that is still actively used for religious worship and now a federally registered tourist site. Beautiful and peaceful in the Tay Ho area. Highly recommend adding this to any visit in Hanoi.

Beautiful pagoda in Hanoi. There isn’t an entrance fee so you can just walk in based on the operating hours. However there isn’t much explanation on what’s going on so i would suggest getting a tour guide if you are interested on the history.

Tran Quoc Pagoda has a thousand year of history, one of the oldest pagodas in Hanoi. This pagoda often attracts many tourists from Vietnam and the world. Each year, on Lunar New Year's Eve, Vietnamese President and other leaders might come here to wish the prosperity and happiness to Vietnam and all of the Vietnamese. Tran Quoc means "protect country", so Tran Quoc Pagoda was attached with the history of establishing and defending Vietnam from the past. The most outstanding feature of the Pagoda must be the 15 meter tall tower which is called Precious Stupa. Besides, Tran Quoc pagoda shows a lot of signature Vietnamese Buddha factors from the ancient time.

Its a beautiful place of worship for the Vietnamese and a big tourist attraction. One of the 4 directions pagoda, this being the north most. Situated at the West Lake of Hanoi

Totally worth a visit. Quite a mesmerising place. It’s popular so can get crowded specially on weekends. Earlier in the day would be better for someone looking to meditate.

A worshipping place located nearby a lake in Hanoi. Flooded by tourists as well as local, the architecture is lovely. Buy incense sticks to light up for praying.

Must see. The best and most relaxing pagoda in Hanoi. Great place for pictures without the crowd.

A must see in hanoi. I recommend signing up for a tour on klook that hits many of these local places in one go. This was a lovely, serene place. Maybe spend an hour to 1.5 hrs max. Be sure to dress appropriately for a temple. My 14 yo wasn't too excited by it lol.

There's not much going on here. But it's good to visit this place in Hanoi and learn some history. There is no entrance fee.

Nice to see this pagoda between the two lakes in Hanoi. Entrance is free but on midday's it is closed.

Nice little temple and pagoda with some statues. Worth to come by, but you will hardly spend more than 30-45 minutes here, so you should plan other activities for the day, too.

Free entrance. The tower is such a sight to see. You can walk around the pagoda and temple to see more of the island.

Nice historical pagoda. Saw the huge bohdi tree as well. The only strange thing is that the water beside it had all the dead fishes afloat. Wonder if it's the weather or pollution

From the buzz of the city into a serene and gentle area on a lake. Well looked after and clean. The Pagoda is beautiful.

Famous Buddhism worship attraction at Hanoi with pagoda as its trademark. Can enjoy the view of Red River.

Beatiful temple built inside a lake. Nice structures and good views all around. They have regular prayer services here. Entry is free.

Closed during lunch between 11:30-1:30pm daily. Free admission and ice cream stand and coffee shops around. Short visit lots of tour buses. No wait time. Accessible for all, level grounds. Short visit 15mins
