73 P. Quán Sứ, Trần Hưng Đạo, Hoàn Kiếm, Hà Nội
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 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.
Peaceful and calm buddhist temple which is a welcome break from the noise and craziness of Hanoi traffic.
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.
