Chùa Quán Sứ

One of the prettiest pagodas in Hanoi old quarter, impressing visitors by its vibe. Very peaceful regardless the brustling life surrounding. Rarely crowded, except for the Lunar New Year and the 1st, 15th of each Lunar month when people go there to pray.

Peaceful and calm buddhist temple which is a welcome break from the noise and craziness of Hanoi traffic.

A beautiful and peaceful place to visit. It's a large site and if you wander down towards the far end you soon forget about the chaotic traffic outside. It's an oasis of calm. One of the attendants there kindly let me into the inner area of the Buddhist shrine. This place is not far from Hao Lo prison so makes for a good contrast if you do these two places together.

A pretty little Wat that is dedicated to Quan Yin, the lotus Goddess. Protector of women, children and the sea. A nice, quiet wat. A calm and quiet place to pray. An Oasis in the city.

Chua Quan Su Temple. Located right on the center of the city, it's an oasis of peace in a sea of noisy streets. Of course you get the gold Buddha and others. What I find particular of this temple is their use of flowers, plants and fruit trees. Short but fascinating visit.

A beautiful (peaceful) Buddhist temple set amidst the frenetic traffic and chaos of the Hanoi streets outside!! Not many westerners visit so best to be mindful of national customs and let the locals in front as they conduct their prayers at each of the alters and settings.

They conduct worship celebrations around 2pm everyday, timings differ due to local or Buddhist festivals.. Worth visiting site!!

Peaceful oasis which located in middle of a busy city. Near some grim reminders of inhumanity. It was a good size building with lots of greenery everywhere. Large urns with burning incense with statues and more plants filled the middle of the stairs. It’s a majestic temple with a lot of history to it. My heritage Buddhist traveling companion lit joss sticks for lost family members. It is the most holy temple that local person make ceremonial offerings the infants and children died early
