Temple Of Literature

Temple of literature is the place where Vietnamese pupils often go to pray for success in their high school graduation and university entrance exams. The temple was free before, but since there are many exhibitions and events are held here, you need to buy tickets to go inside. You can also go there to ask for/buy calligraphy for the words of your choice as well.

Temple of Literature in Hanoi, VietnamThe place is really nice and a lot of historical facts to be learned. Downside was there were a lot of people as it was the last day of Tet holiday and it's Sunday as well. Would definitely visit again, when there are less people to enjoy the place even more. ☺️

Probably need 1.5 hour to explore this place. Need to take grab to this location from Old Quarters. Can buy tickets on the spot. Learnt about the history and importance of education.

it has gone through lots of repair. unfortunately there was not much of explanation
