Bao Quoc Pagoda Chùa Báo Quốc
Sắc tứ temple on Ham Long hill
An old hillside pagoda on Hàm Long hill, granted its royal charter and the name Báo Quốc in 1747. Climb through the triple gate into the court and the halls beyond. Give it 30 to 90 minutes for one of the Buddhist houses the Nguyễn lords honoured, an easy stop between the citadel and the tombs.
