Trấn Quốc Pagoda

All over Vietnam are these stunning pagodas, places of worship for Buddhists. This is a depiction of Trấn Quốc pagoda, the oldest pagoda in the capital city of Hanoi. The pagoda is on a small peninsula, with luxuriant gardens. We were invited in to see the 1,500-year-old structure up close. Monks were worshipping, singing, and praying in this quiet oasis. An ancient Bodhi tree, a symbol of enlightenment, stood in the corner. The tree was a gift from India, a cutting from the original tree where Buddha had his enlightenment experience.
