郭润龙浪迹天涯20230617 Morning: 1. "Duzhu Temple" is located in "Bating Square" in Vietnam. Bating Square is an iconic landscape in Hanoi, Vietnam's capital. The political center of Vietnam, in 1945, Vietnam's national leader and father of the country Ho Chi Minh announced the founding of the country in this square. His body has been stored in the "Ho Chi Minh Memorial Hall" on the square. Therefore, the significance of Bating Square is similar to China's Tiananmen Square and Russia's Red Square. It is a national assembly square, with flag-raising ceremony held every 6:30 in the morning and honor guards at 10:00. "Bating" is a township in Eshan County, Qinghua Province, Vietnam. In 1880s, the anti-French movement "Bating Uprising" broke out in this township. Bating Square was named as a memorial. Entering the park is free and requires security checks. ① Address: downtown Hanoi, Vietnam. ② Transportation: It is easy to drive. ③ peak season: No. ④ duration: 2 hours. ⑤ Note: The Ho Chi Minh Memorial Hall is closed from June 14 to August 16 every year (maintaining Ho Chi Minh's crystal coffins and remains), and every Monday and Friday. 2. Duzhu Temple is not far from the southwest side of Bating Square. It was built in 1049 and rebuilt in 1955. The second king of Li Chao, Vietnam, dreamed that Guanyin was standing on the lotus pond with a baby. In 1954, the French army destroyed the temple when it retreated, leaving only stone pillars left, and the following year it was rebuilt. As the name implies, there is only a 4-meter-high stone pillar standing in the pool holding a small Buddha, only one, the stairs are only for 2 people to walk side by side, it is said that this temple is very practical, so the crowd of visitors is slightly crowded. There are lotus flowers in the pool and a small fountain sprayed. The ancient architecture around the temple is hung with color paintings of Buddhist stories, and there is no Chinese to understand the meaning.
