Also known as Van Mieu, The Temple of Literature is one of the oldest monuments of Vietnam. The Temple of Literature is a beautiful example of traditional-style Vietnamese architecture. Originally, this place was built as a university in 1070 dedicated to Confucius, scholars, and sages. The building is swarming with literature and the Well of Heavenly Clarity, turtle steles, pavilions, courtyards and passageways. The temple’s layout is similar to the temple in Qufu, China, the birthplace of Confucius and has a magnificent main entrance and a path, once reserved solely for the king, running through the center. The temple is more of a place of study rather than a religious landmark. Soaked in Vietnamese history, this temple is an important cultural landmark of Hanoi.
It is 3.1 km away from the city center.
