    Quan Su Pagoda is located at 73 Quan Su Street, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi. The temple was built in the 15th century, during the time of King Le The Tong, under the Late Dynasty. At that time, the court built a "shop" - that is, the reception - reserved for the Buddhist deities such as Chiem Thanh and Ai Lao (ie Lao today) to the tribute. Because of the purpose of welcoming the deity, this place is called the Arahant.

    Quan Su Pagoda is not as massive as many other large pagodas, but has a solemn, peaceful beauty and harmony between traditional architecture and modern breath. The three-door gate is solemnly designed with a curved tiled roof, the words " Quan Su Tu" are clearly engraved on the mossy red brick background.

    The temple itself worships the Three Gorgeses, the statue of Bo Tat Quan The Am, and many other precious statues with profound artistic and religious values. Behind it is the Ancestor's House and monk shrines and monks of Vietnamese Buddhism.
