About One Pillar Pagoda in Hanoi

The temple was originally built by the Emperor Ly Thai Tong. Thus, One Pillar Pagoda architecture is featured with the Ly style of designs. The emperor Ly Thai Tong was the ruler between the years 1028 and 1054. The lack of a child and heir plagued Ly Thai Tong until one night in his dreams he met the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara. He handed him a baby son while sitting in his serene posture on a lotus flower. After this, the emperor married, and his wife bore him a son, in gratitude for which he constructed the One Pillar Pagoda temple in 1049.

The temple itself has been renovated many times, but the most recent occurrence was in 1955 during the evacuation of France. If one visits Vietnam, One Pillar Pagoda in Hanoi is a site that should not be missed out on; given that it remains one of the most revered and respected sites, and has a beautiful garden which is the perfect place to indulge in tranquil contemplation. There is a shrine located inside the pagoda which is to worship the Vietnamese Buddhist deity Quan Am.

One of the major attractions in the pagoda is the famous Bo tree. It grows behind the pagoda and is said to be the offshoot of the Banyan tree under which Buddha attained enlightened in Bodh Gaya. The tree was gifted to Vietnam by Government of India as an act of goodwill in 1958.

Grizzy's 9 days trip to Hanoi

TT had a good tie up with S Vietnam trip. The S Vietnam trip coordinator , Ms Emily was very courteous & replied to every query I had regarding the trip. The arrangements were seamless requiring no follow up from my side, on a day to day basis . Proactively, guides & drivers contacted & communicated the pick up & schedule for the following day, a day in advance . The operators ensured we had a comfortable trip . Hotels & food arrangements & internal tkts were well organised . I am very happy with the way our trip was organized & I highly recommend S Vietnam trip to anyone traveling to Vietnam Every day was memorable because of the stress free arrangements made

Gnyana's 7 days trip to Hanoi

We recently booked a vacation package through SVietnam Tours via TravelTriangle, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, Jennie and her team went above and beyond to ensure our vacation was seamless and enjoyable. They were always available to assist us whenever needed, and their support was incredibly reassuring. One of the highlights of the trip was how they paid attention to our food preferences. Whether it was lunch or dinner included in the package, they made sure our dietary needs were always taken into account. The hotels were excellent, with each one offering a great experience. However, the hotel in Phu Quoc was exceptional, especially with its beautiful surroundings and private beach. It truly made our stay there unforgettable. The tour guides were fantastic throughout the trip, but the guide in Da Nang really stood out. She was not only knowledgeable and friendly but also made a special connection with our 3-year-old daughter, who had the time of her life playing with her. It made the tour even more enjoyable for our little one. There were so many unforgettable experiences throughout the trip, and some of the top highlights included: - **Ninh Binh Boat Ride**: This serene boat ride through the stunning limestone landscapes was an absolute highlight, offering a peaceful and picturesque experience. - **Halong Bay Cruise**: Cruising through the iconic Halong Bay, surrounded by towering limestone pillars and emerald waters, was nothing short of magical. - **Bana Hills Cable Car**: The cable car ride to Bana Hills offered breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and valleys, providing a truly unique experience. - **Phu Quoc 4 Island Tour**: The Phu Quoc tour was another standout experience, with the cable car ride from the 4th Island to the 1st Island offering spectacular views of the ocean. The entire tour was well-organized, and our guide Vivian made sure we didn’t miss any must-see spots, like the shows at VinWonders and GrandWorld. Phu Quoc itself is a paradise. Even though our Phu Quoc tour was a group tour, Vivian made sure to provide us with all the details to make the experience smooth and easy. He was available round the clock to answer any queries and helped us cover all the must-see spots on time. We also have to thank Jennie for recommending Wyndham Gardens for our stay in Phu Quoc – it was indeed a fantastic choice. All in all, it was a wonderful vacation filled with unforgettable memories, and it was all possible because of Jennie and her amazing team. We’re incredibly grateful for their support and highly recommend SVietnam Tours for anyone looking to have a stress-free and memorable vacation.

Vidya's 11 days trip to Hanoi

Travel Triangle connected us with Vietnam local tour operation named Asia Luxury Travel. Our experience with Ms Joanna of Asia Luxury Travel was extremely amazing, smooth, immediate reverts to our whatsapp queries (if any). By all means, we had a beautiful 9 days Vietnam tour, which was seamlessly executed by the very proactive Ms Joanna of Asia Luxury Travel. We had no scope to worry about anything, right from the pick up from the airport to drop to the airport. All the sightseeings, hotel bookings, cruise, internal flights and transfers were smooth, without any hitch whatsoever. We being vegetarians, we taken care of, but within their limits, as Vietnam is a paradise for non-vegetarians. All the tour guides provided, were knowledgeable, entertaining and we being senior citizens, took good care of us too. Cannot miss to mention the extremely flawless coordination in execution of our daily tours, pick ups, transfers, etc. Asia Luxury Travel, Vietnam, must be considered by all interested for their Vietnam tours. Would like to mention here that the role of Travel Triangle ends once they connect us with the local tour operator. Travel Triangle contacts us only for payment on the due dates, as payment has to be made to Travel Triangle. To take our tour forward, viz. visa procedure, international ticketing, etc, we connected with Asia Luxury Travel, Vietnam, and the experience was beyond compare. Thanks Ms. Joanna of Asia Luxury Travel, Vietnam.

Sheetal's 5 days trip to Hanoi

Booking from Indochina was one of the best decisions we made. Our agent, Steve was extra careful of us as we were an all ladies group and he made sure our trip was memorable in every possible way. He even recommended some amazing places for us to eat in our leisure time. The hotels, guides and tours were so well planned. Even the cruise booked for us was luxurious. I would highly recommend this agency for one's next trip to Vietnam.

Jai's 10 days trip to Hanoi

Steve was continuously in ouch with me throughout the trip, checking on how it was going. He kept updating me an evening in advance about the next day's pick-up time. He took out the time to meet me in Hanoi and very thoughtful of him for bringing me gifts as a token of appreciation for giving him the business. I wish him and his company the very best. Don't think twice, go blindly with him and he'll ensure you have a wonderful trip.

Lakshmi's 7 days trip to Hanoi

Our experience in Vietnam was exceptional mainly due to the smooth process of transfers, daily tours, choice of hotels etc. A special mention to Anna as she drove our plan very well and smoothly.

Sushmita's 7 days trip to Hanoi

We had a great time on this trip. The package was customised well to suit our budget and preferences. All the transfers, accomodation were managed very smoothly and our travel agent, Steve was available at all times to answer our queries through the entire trip! Thank you! We loved exploring Hanoi on our own, the cycle trails at Nin Binh, the cruise stay at Ha long bay, the beautiful hotel with sea view at Da Nang and the city tour at Ho Chi Minh <3
