Beyond being a sacred site, Quoc Su Temple offers vibrant cultural programs. During Lunar New Year, the temple hosts the Lunar New Year Blessing Ceremony, inviting visitors to participate in incense offerings and scripture copying, experiencing traditional Vietnamese Buddhist rituals.
Every Saturday afternoon, chanting meditation sessions led by senior monks provide guided practice in mantra recitation and breath control, promoting inner peace—free of charge, but requires prior HopeGoo.
For art lovers, join the heritage restoration tour to explore intricate wood carvings and glazed tile structures, followed by hands-on lacquer painting workshops where you create a small keepsake piece.
The temple also runs a children’s Buddhist class, teaching values like karma, compassion, and respect through interactive games—ideal for family travelers.
Enhance your visit by returning in the evening to witness the Hoan Kiem Lake night light show, where ancient temple silhouettes blend with modern city illumination, creating a magical contrast.
