One of the rare successful reservations in Hanoi. Good for short sight seeing, photo taking & Vietnam education history exploring. If you have chance, visit here during Tet holiday (2-3/1 Lunar New Year) and you will be able to watch human chess, shu-fa and some other festival activities. More

We weren't that impressed with the Temple. I would suggest to go if you can, but if you must cut something from your list this may be it. More

At the Temple of Literature we saw a number of couples having their engagement and... More

Respect for Talent - the architecture & sculptures. Directly opposite was the Koto restaurant where street kids are taught and trained in hospitality. Good food - worth a visit. More

Visiting the temple was a great experience & the grounds are beautifully kept, A small oasis in the city. More

Not what I was expecting. Beatiful gardens, very historical. A guide would make this visit much more informative but we enjoyed and took from it what we could. Souvenirs and cool drinks available. More

Those interested in higher education should make a stop here to see the tablets of those who completed their degrees centuries ago. More
