Tran Quoc Pagoda is the oldest pagoda in Hanoi, with a history stretching back more than 1,500 years to the reign of Ly Nam De. It stands on a small islet reaching into West Lake, linked to Thanh Nien road by a paved causeway that gives it a serene and poetic setting. Its highlight is an eleven-tier red brick lotus stupa, each level holding a gemstone Amitabha Buddha statue. It is a well-known place for pilgrimage and for watching the sunset over the lake.
