Chua Tran Quoc
Originally built in the sixth century, Chua Tran Quoc is the country’s pagoda, a beautiful testament to how dedicated Vietnamese people are in preserving and honouring history and culture.
From a distance, Chua Tran Quoc commands attention just by its striking red exterior, a colour that symbolises prosperity and luck. Inside, relics from the 17th century, religious artifacts, statues of symbolic flowers, and an Indian Bodhi Tree give tourists a glimpse of what Vietnamese Buddhist believe in. A beautiful reflection of Chua Tran Quoc can be seen in nearby West Lake and Truc Bach Lake –a sight that makes the attraction more picturesque.
