Cổng tam quan Chùa
Cổng tam quan Chùa stands at Trấn Quốc Pagoda on Kim Ngư Island, beside Hà Nội’s West Lake. The traditional gateway marks passage into sacred Buddhist grounds. Layered buildings, still water and solemn architecture shape the setting around this historic entrance.
Trấn Quốc Pagoda traces its history to the sixth century, when it stood beside the Red River. A landslide brought the complex to West Lake in 1915. Its heritage includes engraved worshipping statues, polished by skilled artisans, and the notable Thích Ca Thập Nhất Niết Bàn. An eleven-storey stupa rises fifteen metres above the grounds. Each floor holds a gemstone Amitabha statue behind a vaulted window, beneath a nine-storey lotus.
