Hanoi Off The Beaten Path: 150 reviews and 272 photos
Tran Quoc Pagoda is one of the oldest in Vietnam and worth the long walk to visit it. Situated on a narrow strip of land separating Ho Tay (West Lake) from Truc Bach Lake, this scenic complex has been rebuilt numerous times, the last time dating back to 1842. The best part was people watching during TET as it was a popular spot for locals to worship and accordingly, there are many vendors selling everything from popcorn to floral offerings. I imagine it is a great place in the heat of a summer’s day. It was a bit chilly out there in January! Located just off Thanh Nien.
