🇻🇳 Vietnam Hanoi "Quan Thanh Pagoda (Tianqu Pagoda)" A solemn temple featuring a heavy 4-ton bronze statue

"Quan Thanh Pagoda" is on the way to Tran Quoc Pagoda along Truc Bach Lake. It is a Taoist temple built in the 11th century. The Vietnamese-style gate is impressive, and when you pass through it, you feel a sense of solemnity. Inside the colorful main hall, a 4-ton bronze statue of Xuan Zhen Bu Shen is enshrined. This bronze statue is a must-see. Local people sometimes pray there. The ceiling of the main hall is also vermilion, which is a stark contrast to the calm exterior, and this contrast is interesting.
