Tran Quoc Pagoda on the Ho Tay (West Lake), Hanoi, Vietnam.

The pagoda was originally built between 544-548, during the reign of Emperor Lý Nam Đế and was located on the bank of the Red River. It was moved to its current location in 1615 due to the encroachment of the river. The pagoda is one of the main structures of the Tran Quoc Temple where the ashes of numerous monks are interred.
