The Trấn Quốc Pagoda in Hanoi towers over the scenery around it, and is the oldest pagoda in the city, originally

constructed in the sixth century during the reign of Emperor Lý Nam Đế (from 544 until 548), giving it an age of more

than 1,450 years! The pagoda has strong ties to Buddhism, as Buddhist monks have lived at the Trấn Quốc Pagoda

for centuries, teaching the ways of Buddhism to the public The pagodas are red because in Chinese and Vietnamese

culture red symbolizes luck and prosperity. The pagoda, with its harmonious architecture and location next to the

water, is a picturesque attraction, and the sunset views from the temple grounds are renowned for their beauty.

Hoa Lo Prison

Hỏa Lò Prison was a prison used by the French colonists in Vietnam for political prisoners, and later by North

Vietnam for U.S. Prisoners of War during the Vietnam War. During this later period it was sarcastically known to

American POWs as the Hanoi Hilton. The prison was demolished during the 1990s, though the gatehouse remains as

a museum.

university, established in 1076, when entrance was granted only to those of noble birth. The historic buildings from

the Ly and Tran dynasties have become a memorial to education and literature.

One Pillar Pagoda

The One Pillar Pagoda was originally built by the Emperor Ly Thai Tong between the years of 1028 to 1054. Built of

wood on a single stone pillar in the center of a lotus pond, the pagoda was designed to resemble a lotus blossom.

The shrine inside the pagoda is dedicated to the Vietnamese Buddhist deity Quan Am. One of Vietnam's iconic

temples, the pagoda is set in a beautifully tranquil garden. The pagoda was rebuilt in 1955 when the base was

destroyed during the French evacuation of Hanoi.
