Temple of Literature & National University, Hanoi

This is the oldest historical architecture I have visited in Asia. Expect temples, wide courtyard and scholarly pursuits in one place..Since 1076？ W-O-W. The first national university of Vietnam. The thought that hundreds of scholars have walked in these yards and halls is unimaginable but true. I have seen the centuries-old stone slabs where students would write upon while i guess, squatting and attentively listening to the teacher in front. The place and background info give u a surreal feeling of the past. You won’t miss the old but sturdy stone gates in the entrance. They are beautifully done. Bring some incense when you visit.

Known as the Temple of Literature this beautiful location was the very first University in Vietnam! Now used as a Temple to greet Teachers and KNOWLEDGE! This show us the real inner values of Vietnamese, culture,study and knowledge! Amazing place. Is actually the SYMBOL ò the city of Hanoi!
