Trấn Quốc Pagoda, located on a small island in Hanoi's West Lake, is the oldest Buddhist temple in Vietnam, dating back to the 6th century during the reign of Emperor Lý Nam Đế. This historic pagoda is renowned for its stunning architecture that harmoniously blends with the natural landscape. Featuring an 11-story red tower, lush gardens, and ancient bodhi trees said to be descended from the original tree under which Buddha attained enlightenment, Trấn Quốc Pagoda is a serene and spiritual haven amidst the bustling city.
