This pagoda, marked by a 15 m-high stupa, stands on a peninsula and is considered Hanoi's oldest.
Marked by a 15 m high brick tower (stupa), consisting of 11 floors, the pagoda is located on a peninsula projecting into the western lake. The original cult, located on the bank of the Red River, dates back to the 6th century. The pagoda was then called Khai Quoc ("the foundation of the kingdom"). It was moved to the Kim Ngu ("Golden Fish") islet on its present location in 1615 due to a landslide and renamed Tran Quoc, "the defence of the Kingdom". Because of its origin, this pagoda is considered the oldest in Hanoi.
