郭润龙浪迹天涯20230617 morning: 1. The "Vietnam Town Guo Temple" is the first temple in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. It was built in the Li Dynasty and the Li Nandi period (China is in the split period of the North and South Dynasties) before 541-548 years ago. It is a place where senior monks, royal families and celebrities have been taught in Vietnam. The temple is surrounded by ancient towers. The adjacent West Lake lotus pond is intersected and has become the face value of the ancient architecture of Vietnam. The temple was originally called "Kaiguo Temple", also known as "Zhenbei Temple", until the post-Li Dynasty period in 1440 (Ming Orthodox five years) changed to "Anguo Temple", 1616 (Ming Wanli forty-four years) after Emperor Li moved the temple to the current "Goldfish Island" and changed the name. The temple is small in size, but the incense is strong, and the entrance to the park is free. ① Address: West Lake on the north side of Hanoi City, Vietnam. ② Transportation: It is easy to stop by car. ③ peak season: no. ④ Time: 1 hour. 2. Arrive at the main entrance of the temple in the lake through the stone bridge. The red and yellow temple gates are solemn and rich. The plaques and couplets are Chinese characters. Because the north and central Vietnam were Chinese territory during the five generations and ten kingdoms (907-979 years), it was deeply affected by Chinese culture. You can also see many Taoist views on the way. Although Vietnamese taboo these history, but do not do hands and feet in religious monuments, temples and Taoist temples stand there day and night to show the original appearance of history. 3, the first courtyard is full of Buddha towers, the main hall "Fengzutang", the rockery in the courtyard, the kumquat set is small and exquisite, highlighting the style of Southeast Asian Buddhism. There is also: ① Hexagonal Lotus Pagoda: The iconic main tower, red, built in 1998, a total of 11 floors and 66 Buddhas on 6 sides, each of which has a white Buddha statue. ② Stele Pavilion: The stele Pavilion with red tiles and yellow bodies is very beautiful. The inscription is Chinese, which records the past presidencies in the temple. 4. The second courtyard has: ① Buddha Hall: Take off your shoes in the temple of the Buddha in Southeast Asia to avoid bringing the earthly dirt on the soles of your feet into the Buddha Hall, and it is also said that this means purifying your body and mind. ② Bodhi Tree: The treasure of the town temple, presented by Indian President Rajindra Prasad in 1959, is said to have become Buddha 2,500 years ago under the mother tree of this Bodhi tree, the tree is now the tree's descendants, or transplanted its branches to grow into trees. 5. At the end of the tour, it will take half an hour. There are many stalls outside the temple gate selling fish and birds for release. The tour guide recommends not to buy them. After we release the stall owner will catch them again. Origami crafts and unique sweet and sour fruit soup are quite special. 6. The tour of Hanoi ended. I returned to Halong City from Hanoi. I also experienced the local tricycle on the road. I shuttled on the road in Ishii, Vietnam. There were no traffic lights. Pedestrians, motorcycles, cars, etc. around, quite exciting. Attachment: Vietnam Tourism Tips ① Currency: On the exchange rate, RMB/Vietnam dong = 3000/1 (just about the value, there will be changes every day) ② Shopping: Regular shopping malls can directly swipe the domestic UnionPay card, and the exchange rate will be directly calculated to deduct the corresponding RMB amount, but small shops may not be able to swipe the UnionPay card. WeChat and Alipay can basically brush in slightly larger stores. ③ Price... The number of words exceeds the limit, continue in the last picture.
