Chùa Hương, Chùa Bái Đính, and Yên Tử are well-known names that attract huge crowds during the spring season for religious ceremonies. If you're short on time and seek a more tranquil and serene place, consider visiting the following three temples for a calm and contemplative New Year's journey.
Trấn Quốc Pagoda
Visitors to Hanoi are likely familiar with Trấn Quốc Pagoda, also known as Trấn Quốc Tự, located on Thanh Niên Street in Tây Hồ District. With a history spanning 1,500 years, the pagoda venerates Amitabha Buddha, Shakyamuni Buddha, and Avalokiteshvara, alongside several other altars. During the spring season, you can admire the East Asian architectural style, especially the unique beauty of statues and a towering 11-story pagoda. Situated beside a lake, it offers fresh air, natural beauty, and serene tranquility. This is an ideal spiritual destination for Hanoi's residents who prefer to stay close to home for their New Year prayers, while also attracting many visitors from other regions who come here to admire the scenery and pay respects.
