How can we not mention the romantic legend of Hoan Kiem Lake at the top of our Hanoi travel list? 🏞️ Hidden among the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains is a heart-warming Yushan Temple✨. This is not only a perfect encounter between nature and history, but also a cultural landmark that is well understood by the Chinese people!

🏞️ Stepping into the fairyland of Yushan Island, the round island looks like a piece of jade lost in the world. The temple is named after the island, and the island is named after the jade. In the 15th century, Emperor Li Taizu once fished here. Although Ruiqing Palace and Zuowang Pavilion have been destroyed in the war, the reconstruction of Guandi Temple has brought new life to Yushan Shrine. The reconstruction in 1872 added Zhenbo Pavilion, the "pillar of Wenlan", to protect the peace of the area.

🌅 At dusk, there are crowds of tourists, and the three major gates are advanced layer by layer, full of a sense of ceremony! The first door has four pen-shaped stone pillars, which symbolize success in the imperial examinations. There are couplets hanging high, written in Chinese, which represent good fortune and luck. These are the calligraphy works of the literati of the Nguyen Dynasty, which are full of intimacy! 📜

🐉 The second gate, "Dragon Gate" leaps out, "Tiger List" is majestic, the five-story tower is like a pen pointing to the sky, next to the inkstone stone, a frog holds up hope, the interweaving of light and shadow is a harmonious dialogue between wisdom and nature. 🖌️

🌉 Qixu Bridge, a 40-meter-long vermilion wooden bridge, is like a divine bridge descending among the green waves and trees. It carries the hope of the rising sun, and every step is in the rhythm of vitality and enthusiasm. 🌄

🏮 In front of Deyue Tower, there are carved beams and painted buildings, full of Chinese charm, while the gray walls add a bit of exotic style. In the main hall, Guandi, Lu Zu and Wenchang Emperor sit solemnly. The Taoist gods of the Ming and Qing Dynasties transcend national boundaries and share the glory of faith. 🙏

🌟Highlights:
🐢 The giant turtle specimen is the treasure of the temple! One is the embodiment of the legend of Hoan Kiem Lake, and the other is a witness to longevity. Their existence makes the Ngoc Son Temple even more mysterious and awe-inspiring.
