One Pillar Pagoda, Hanoi

One of the most recognisable icon in Vietman, the One Pillar Pagoda was built in 1049 during the Ly Dynasty.  From far, it looks like a lotus flower in a pond.

The pagoda does not occupy a big area.

Next to it is a temple, nothing of interest in terms of sightseeing.










You can combine the visit to the One Pillar Pagoda with the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum in the morning.
