A very old Tao Temple in the middle of town. Once inside it is very tranquil with beautiful interior and architecture. I enjoyed the tranquil feeling and always love the smell of Temple incense. Great for the whole family.

Strolling along the West Lake. I came across a very attractive place just by the side of the bustling street of Hanoi. The 11th century Quan Thanh Temple ( Tran Vu Temple), a Taoist temple in Hanoi, was dedicated to Xuan Wu, one of the well-respected deities in Taoism. It is served as one of four sacred temples in the capital...Still don't know much about this place as I have no guide and zero skill in Vietnamese, I have been very fond of the place. The ancient looking but well-preserved temple sits peacefully and gracefully on the busy Hanoi intersection with so many things going on outside. Once I step into the temple, I was brought into the past and I felt the calmness and serenity within the temple. I hardly hear the honking and the roaring engines from the outside. Experience it yourself!
