This
pagoda has some history and is just around the corner from the Hoa Lo Prison
(aka the Hanoi Hilton). When I arrived I could hear chanting and when I looked
inside there were probably 40 Sangha monks chanting. Small area but a pleasant
and free attraction.

This
is an 17th century temple with an entrance gate in Hà Nội. It was built by
visiting Buddhist ambassadors who called on the then emperor of Việt Nam. It is
reportedly the central HQ of Buddhism in Việt Nam. It is an active temple số
there will be many worshippers paying homage here. A quick stop , maybe 30
minutes. It is not a complex such as the Temple Of Literature or the Lama
Temple in Beijing. Went in
March,
2013.

A
beautiful temple which is very peaceful once you enter. Not that big but very
nice statues and ornaments here. A lot of locals using this temple for
offerings and prayers. Still monks and nuns living here. Is called the
Ambassadors pagode because in the earlier years it was a guesthouse for the
ambassadors of the Buddhist countries. Worth a stop..
