A lovely temple, one of the nicest ones I have seen whilst travelling around SE Asia. This costs 10,000 dong per person but it is well worth it!

Beautiful place to visit. Ticket entry only 30.000 dong or so. The statur inside was enormous and weighs 4 tons of solid bronze. Really amazing.

Small but very beautiful temple. We visited it with my husband when we were walking around the Hanoi.
