Stock Photo - Tran Quoc Pagoda in Hanoi is the oldest pagoda in the city, originally constructed in the sixth century, making it more than 1400 years old. When founded the temple was sited on the shores of the Red River. When confronted with the river's encroachment, the temple was relocated in 1615 to Ho Tay or West Lake as it is known in English. A narrow causeway links it to the mainland. Its architecture takes advantage of the watery landscape of the lake making the pagoda a picturesque attraction for tourism, as well as having a devout following among Hanoians.
