Place of worship
Phủ Tây Hồ
52 P. Đặng Thai Mai, Tây Hồ, Hà Nội
Lakeside shrine to a legendary immortal, its courtyard filled with incense during a spring festival of processions.
This guide to Phu Tay Ho in Hanoi opens on an evening in the fifteen hundreds, when the scholar Phung Khac Khoan meets a witty wine seller beside West Lake and the two trade verses until they finish a poem still recited today. He leaves, then returns to find her stall gone, only her handwriting left behind on a scroll. The guide traces the legend that grew from that vanishing and the shrine built on the spot. Listen for the golden buffalo waiting in the courtyard outside.
