This pagoda, marked by a 15 m-high stupa, stands on a peninsula and is considered Hanoi's oldest.

Marked by a 15 m high brick tower (stupa), consisting of 11 floors, the pagoda is located on a peninsula projecting into the western lake. The original cult, located on the bank of the Red River, dates back to the 6th century. The pagoda was then called Khai Quoc ("the foundation of the kingdom"). It was moved to the Kim Ngu ("Golden Fish") islet on its present location in 1615 due to a landslide and renamed Tran Quoc, "the defence of the Kingdom". Because of its origin, this pagoda is considered the oldest in Hanoi.

Superbe pagode située sur une île sur le lac de l'Ouest. Tenue correcte exigée. Attention, moustiques dans les parages le soir !

Cette pagode est vraiment magnifique. A découvrir lors de votre séjour sur Hanoi. Même si il fait chaud, prévoyez des vêtements couvrants ou un foulard pour mettre sur vos épaules.

Tran quoc veut dire veiller sur le pays. C'est non seulement un très joli pagode, elle est aussi chargée d'histoire et fait partie intégrale de la vie des Hanoidiens. C'est aussi une des pagodes les plus anciens et importante dans la vie religieuse

It is, I think, the most beautiful pagoda of Hanoi. In the heart of west lake, it also offers a beautiful view of the lake, and is free.
Still used today, beware of your gear when you get there (not too short shorts or docker).
