History & significance

A 15th-century Buddhist pagoda on Quan Su Street in central Hanoi, raised on the grounds of a Lê-dynasty guest house built for envoys from Champa and Laos, who as Buddhists wanted a place of worship on the premises. Renovated in 1822, it now serves as the headquarters of the Buddhist Sangha of Vietnam.
