> Quan Su
Pagoda
Location:
Quan Su Pagoda (or the Ambassadors' Pagoda) is at
73 Quan Su Street, Hoan Kiem District., Hanoi.
Characteristics:
Formerly, it was a small Buddhist Pagoda, which
had been constructed during the Le Dynasty in the
15th century to receive foreign envoys
and ambassadors.
Quan Su Pagoda was first built on the land of An
Tap Village, Tho Xuong District, on the southern
gate of Thang Long Capital.
In 1934, the pagoda was the
headquarter of the Northern Buddhist Association.
Since 1942, the pagoda has been
restored and expanded many times with a larger and
better architectural structure. Since 1958, this
place has acted as the head office of the
Vietnam Buddhist Association.
The pagoda opens
daily from 7.30 to 11.30 am and 1.30 to 5.30 pm.
