Learn Something New at Hanoi's Temple of Literature

📚 The Temple of Literature is a temple dedicated to Confucious in Hanoi, Vietnam. This temple was built in 1070 and served as the Imperial Academy, Vietnam's first university.

🌳 There are many courtyards to wander through, as well as a winding maze of rooms. Some of the rooms are left set up to study, showing you some of the rich history of the university, while other rooms are now used as a sanctuary for worship and offerings.

🌊 A beautiful temple filled with enriching history, you can find yourself getting lost amongst the many floors and buildings. The Temple of Literature is an amazing and interesting addition to your Hanoi trip! Be sure to wear appropriate clothing for the temple- cover your shoulders and your knees!
