Trấn Quốc Pagoda, Buddhist temple on West Lake island, Vietnam
The temple rises on an artificial island connected to the shore by a causeway, featuring multiple halls and an eleven-tier stone pagoda.
Constructed in 544 during Emperor Ly Nam De reign, the temple relocated in 1615 from Red River banks to its current West Lake location.
Buddhist monks maintain daily rituals and meditation practices while offering spiritual guidance and teaching Buddhist principles to visitors throughout the year.
Visitors can access the temple grounds from 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM, with extended hours during festivals and ceremonial days.
A Bodhi tree, gifted by Indian President Rajendra Prasad in 1959, grows in the temple courtyard as a direct descendant of the sacred tree in India.
