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.

The pagoda is located in the middle of the west lake in the west. The pagoda is like a tower erected in the middle of the lake. The whole area is beautiful and very enjoyable to walk the grounds.
