  one of Hanoi's more serene temples

Quan Thanh Temple is one of Hanoi’s more serene temples for good reason. It is a fair walk from the Old Quarter, even a few blocks north of the Ho Chi Minh complex. But that along with its scenic setting on Truc Bach Lake make it all the more worthwhile to make the effort to get here. It was not so quiet as it was TET but compared to the temples in the city center, it was a nice relief. Established by the Ly dynasty between 1050 and 1225, this shady oasis must be a summer paradise for those who come to worship. Located at the intersection of D Thanh Nien and Pho Quan Thanh. Cost is 2000 dong (12 cents) to enter.

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
