Find your peaceful moment at Quan Su Pagoda, a highlight of our Hanoi Buddhist Tours, and a spiritual oasis in the heart of busy Hanoi. Located right in the heart of Hanoi, the site is highly sacred for Buddhist worship and thus serves as the core of the cultural and spiritual activities of the city. Being the headquarters of the Vietnam Buddhist Sangha, it also appeals to both domestic and international visitors who come here seeking peace and reflection. Impress Travel proudly offers exclusive Hanoi Tours, to this highly regarded temple for immersion into centuries-older rituals and deeply spiritual significance, making Quan Su Pagoda one of the most Sacred Buddhist Sites in Hanoi.
Quan Su Pagoda
Be prepared to get mesmerized by the epitome of architecture that the pagoda demonstrates! Quan Su Pagoda follows two traditional “nội Công ngoại Quốc" settings; this means that its design pattern resembles the inside character “Công" and is like “Quốc" outside. Some of the classic instances of Vietnamese architecture are found in the intricate rooflines with their curved tiles and detailed woodwork. Every inch of the temple displays the beauty of the Buddhist temples in Hanoi; therefore, it enables visitors to appreciate spirituality and artistry under one roof.
Inside the pagoda, you will see the sacred status of Tam The Phat: The Buddha of the Past-Present-Future, the mild statue of Quan The Am as the embodiment of mercy, the remarkable wax statue of Hoa thuong Thich Thanh Tu, a major Buddhist leader in Vietnam. These religious symbols make Quan Su Pagoda the hub of all Hanoi religious tours, attracting pilgrimages and visitors alike.
While many such temples succumbed to adapting to the local beliefs of the people, Quan Su Pagoda kept it purely Buddhist for Buddhists to worship. Unique among all, and without compromise, it does not assimilate even the popular folk beliefs of Mau Tam Tu Phu. That makes the Temple even more authentic and sacred. This preservation of the core of Buddhism makes this temple a special and cherished stop on our Hanoi Buddhist Tours.
Start your day with an 8:00 AM pick-up that is convenient for your central Hanoi hotel. Take a drive through the animated historical streets of Hanoi, observing a tessellated mix of old and new ancient temples alongside modern buildings, all teeming with life. Your guide will give an enriching introduction to Hanoi’s hundreds of years of history and share some stories of its cultural heritage, setting the tone for an exciting day on your Hanoi Buddhist Tour.
Arrival at the Quan Su Pagoda at 8:30 AM offers immediately the feelings of serenity and spirituality associated with arrival at a place of worship. As one of the most significant sites on our Hanoi Buddhist Tours, this 15th-century pagoda offers a unique opportunity to take part in traditional Buddhist prayers and view its statues and altars. Not to be missed is the beauty of the Tam The Phat statues and the detailed wax statue of Hoa thuong Thich Thanh Tu.
Hoa Lo Prison
From here, catch the spiritual depth of the Quan Su Pagoda before we continue to Hoa Lo Prison, after only 220 meters. This historic site once held the notoriety of being one of the most feared prisons; it is now a museum that showcases the resiliency of Vietnam in its fight for independence. From there, we will view the fantastic Thang Long Imperial Citadel, a UNESCO World Heritage site 1.5 kilometers away from the pagoda and then onwards to the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, 2.1 kilometers away to pay our respects to the revered leader of Vietnam.
We round off the day with an Easy Walk around Hoan Kiem Lake, a peaceful and iconic center of Hanoi. Here one can take in views of the Turtle Tower and the historic Ngoc Son Temple: thoughts on your journey and time to relax could not be better framed than in this location.

After this well-worth morning, we will drop you off at your hotel or any other central location. This Hanoi Buddhist Tour will give memories of spiritual and cultural wonders combined with the old and new in one of Asia’s most vibrant cities.
If you’re excited to plunge into the heart of Hanoi’s spiritual culture on our Hanoi Buddhist Tours, here are some essential details that will let you make your visit to Quan Su Pagoda as smooth and enjoyable as possible-from the best times to visit, to proper etiquette.
Quan Su Pagoda is open daily from 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM. You have so many opportunities to visit this sacred site. To have a really peaceful experience, we would recommend going either early in the morning or later in the afternoon to avoid the crowd at the temple and you can fully feel the serene atmosphere. This will be enhanced by the soft morning light or the afternoon sun’s gentle glow, making it even more special.
Several tourists prefer their Hanoi Tours to begin early in the morning at the Quan Su Pagoda, simply because the quiet of morning presents an ideal environment for spiritual reflection. For avoiding mid-day heat and catching a serene moment of contemplation, early morning or late afternoon would be a great time to explore.
Being at Quan Su Pagoda is a sacred place, and thus respect is called for in the clothes someone is wearing and behavior in general. The main point is to dress modestly: not to show your shoulders and knees and not to wear too bright-colored or too open clothes. Since this is a place of worship, we recommend choosing discreet colors, for instance, white, gray, or black color would do, blending with serene surroundings.
Once inside, remember to move quietly and respectfully. Visitors are encouraged to make a slight bow in front of the altars, and it is customary to remove your shoes before going to some parts of the temple. Don’t worry-our cultural do’s and don’ts will be pointed out by the guide of Our Hanoi Buddhist Tours to make you confident and respectful during your visit. Please avoid photo capturing in prohibited areas; in case of doubt, always seek permission. Such small actions help in building the spirited atmosphere that Quan Su Pagoda stands for.
Our Quan Su Pagoda Sacred Worship Tour is designed to be hassle-free, with the price usually covering hotel transportation and a guide who will be knowledgeable in the history of the place. And that includes all entrance fees. You might expect to pay in the region of $30-$50 USD per person, pending the season and number of people. For those visiting in need of making good use of time in Hanoi, this tour will be combined very well with the schedule of Hanoi Buddhist Tours.
