Quan Troc Pagoda

#hanoivietnam #vietnamtravel #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #awesomepic #passionpassport #bucketlistreboot #vietnam I have a thing for sacred religious places around Asia. I don’t know if it’s the architect, colors, or stillness that draws me in. In terms of temples, Hanoi didn’t have what I was expecting but it was still just as captivating. Might I add, well worth it to appreciate the attention to detail that goes into these temples. The Trấn Quốc Pagoda is the oldest temple in Hanoi. As you walk in, you can hear the chants and prayers of the worshippers inside the temple. Then walk over to the other side to see the pagoda. There are a lot of lotus flowers and carvings in the walls to represent the purity of the mind and the beauty of Vietnam. The lake really adds a sense of harmony to the theme of the pagoda and it’s an ideal place for a sunset view. Entrance fee: free Hours: 7:30–11:30 AM 1:30–5:30 PM Getting There - Tour bus or Grab Attractions - Temple of Literature, Ho Chi Minh Masoleum

Tran Quoc Pagoda

Spiritual Serenity by the Lake at Chua Tran Quoc 🧘♀️🌅 Chua Tran Quoc is Hanoi's oldest pagoda, perched gracefully on West Lake's edge—a peaceful haven, perfect for soaking up tranquil vibes. It’s a “must” if you love history, Buddhist culture, or postcard-worthy lakeside views. Start your morning with a stroll along Đ. Thanh Niên under towering palms and snap that classic shot: the pagoda reflected on mirror-flat West Lake (best angles are from the lakeside walkway just outside the grounds). Once inside, wander the pagoda’s courtyards—lush with centuries-old bodhi trees, intricate statues, and vivid prayer flags. Take a moment to quietly watch local worshippers, or softly join in with incense offerings for luck. Essential to know: Chua Tran Quoc opens daily from 07:30–11:00 and again 13:30–17:00. Arrive early for peaceful scenes and softer morning light. Dress modestly (cover shoulders and knees), as this is an active place of worship, and mind local etiquette—keep voices low and photos discreet inside. Precautions: Hanoi can be hot and humid! Bring water and wear a hat. Watch your step on old stone paths—they can get slick after rain. Personal tip: I found Chua Tran Quoc very welcoming and nice—don’t rush! Take time to sit quietly by the water for a real taste of Vietnamese serenity. #Hanoi #TranQuocPagoda #WestLake #VietnamTravel #CulturalGem
