Bach Ma Temple

Historical records indicate that although the temple has been renovated many times, it has stood in this location for nearly 1,000 years. There have been numerous fires and bombings during wartime, yet the temple remains unharmed. When you step through the gate of the temple, it feels as though you are entering a different dimension, untouched by the hustle and bustle of the city's busiest area, the Old Quarter.

A Historic Glimpse Bach Ma Temple is a fascinating piece of Hanoi's history. As one of the city’s oldest temples, it's definitely worth a visit for any history buff or curious traveler. While its historical significance is undeniable, don't expect a grand, sprawling complex. It's a smaller temple, but its charm lies in its simplicity and the rich stories it holds. Conveniently located amidst other historical sites, Bach Ma Temple is a quick and free stop on your Hanoi itinerary. It offers a peaceful respite from the bustling city and a chance to connect with the city’s past. * Overall: ★★★ * Historical Significance: ★★★★ * Atmosphere: ★★★ * Value: ★★★★★

Free to enter. Well worth a visit. Amazing temple in the middle of town. If you have 20 minutes and in the area make sure you visit

A very happening temple with many devotees. Interestingly they have a plaque in Chinese describing hanoi as a province of (presumably) China.

Was able to get in a quick visit before they started closing it down at 4:45pm. Lovely little temple, the best I’ve seen in Hanoi so far.

Free to enter, nice spiritual place, was at the beginning of our trip so this was our first look at many recurring motifs throughout the trip like the altar for ancestors, the importance to trees and so on.

Nice temple to visit. It is free. If you are a church/temple lover, this is probably one of the 2 or 3 places to visit in Hanoi

This is a historical temple. There’re alot people come here on New Year and pray to the gods for hoping in a lucky and happy life.
