Chua Tran Quoc was the prettiest temple/pagoda I visited while in Hanoi. The Pagoda itself was stunning to look at, the grounds of the temple were very nice as well. I loved the little island, with the palm trees, vibrant colors, and unique architecture. Chua Tran Quoc is a must visit. The only negative thing about this attraction is the lake surrounding the island is in bad shape! Full of dead fish and trash. The city needs to do something about it.

Beautiful pagoda situated at West Lake. If you are interested in religious sites this would maybe be interesting. For me it was an very average place to visit to kill time in Hanoi. Nice restaurants and bars close by to enjoy a beer.

This Pagoda is quiet the stunner in the scenery that it is set in beside the lake. It was pleasant surprise to know that India had given the tip of the Pagoda fairly recently as a gift. There is very peaceful vibe to the whole would suggest that you take some time to stroll around the place in the early evening to really develop a real appreciation for the whole setting. Make sure to visit this place and keep it in your itinerary.

I really recommend and encourage travelers to come and visit this Temple. It's not in the prime tourist area, but only a short 10 min Grab drive. It has a beautiful location on a tiny island on Hanoi's West Lake, linked with a causeway to a pretty busy road. Apart the beautiful scenery around, Tran Quoc is really a nice Temple, with a 11-story Pagoda holding important relics.

Small and nice temple between the wes lake Tây Hồ and Truc Bach lake. The entrance free of charge. During our visit the temple was very crowded. Not a must-see, but worth a visit when you are in the area.

The ancient pagoda is located in such a beautiful island off the edge of West lake in modern Hanoi. Since it is little away from the old quarters, it is advisable to start your day visit with this pagoda. The place is surrounded by very well managed walk-way amidst the busy main road of the city. The pagoda opens at 7 - 7.30 in the morning till evening.

Not only a stunning pagoda but an impressive gateway and colourful walkway to get here. In a nice setting beside a lake and was lovely and quiet when I was there. Beware all the street sellers roundabout. Mainly selling paper cut cards but if you dare hesitate to look at anything they will harass you (and follow you down the street)! Also be mindful that the pagoda is closed over lunch. Our guide messed up and at 11.25pm the guy on the gate would not let us in no matter how he tried to persuade him. We visited something else and came back for reopening at 1.30pm and got the place pretty much to ourselves.

We took a grab to the pagoda. The pagoda is built on a separate island in west lake. The place is very peaceful and has a calming sensation to it. The dress code wasn’t all that strict at all. The pagoda however does close around 11:30 am and reopens at 1:30 pm. So it’s best if you go during the morning hours.

Tran Quoc Pagoda with its stunning architecture, calming ambiance, and significant cultural values should not be missed when it comes to exploring Hanoi. It is the oldest pagoda in the city. A sacred gem in the middle of West Lake. Tran Quoc Pagoda can offer visitors a unique cultural and religious experience.
