Building sights in Vietnam

  1. A

    Tran Quoc Pagoda

    On the eastern shore of West Lake, this is one of the oldest pagodas in Vietnam. The current structures are very impressive and date back to 1842. The pagoda is just off the road that divides West Lake and Truc Bach Lake.

  2. Phuoc An Hoi Quan Pagoda

    Built in 1902 by the Fujian Chinese congregation, Phuoc An Hoi Quan Pagoda stands as one of the most beautifully ornamented in the city. Of special interest are the many small porcelain figures, the elaborate brass ritual objects and the fine woodcarvings on the altars, walls and hanging lanterns.

    From outside the building you can see the ceramic scenes, each made up of innumerable small figurines, decorating the roof.

    Du Hang Pagoda

    This was founded three centuries ago. Though it has been rebuilt several times, it remains a fine example of traditional Vietnamese architecture and sculpture.

    Buu Quang Pagoda

    The Buu Quang Pagoda is close to the Huong Tu Pagoda, but is somewhat less glamorous.
