- RIchard035Northwood, UK1,355 contributionsThe Temple of Literature is a monument to Confucius and Vietnam's first university. It is a vast site situated in central Hanoi. There is a small charge that can only be paid by cash. The temple is a series of courtyards each with pavilions, halls and statues. There is plenty of information on the history of the university, how the exam system worked and the monarch's role in assessing student. There is a small cafe near to one of the courtyards.Written January 17, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rajeev GIndore, India12 contributionsWonderful serene place greenery n nature's own land scapping all around. No trash
But avoid tour operators for Ninh Binh. Better tale a cab and go. Tour operators stop at promotional/ commissioned places gor hour and give only one hour boating instead of 3 needed to exploreWritten January 17, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Honestly, we spent hours there and could have stayed longer. Definitely a must-see, even if you're not usually into museums. We were totally captivated!Written January 2, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Andi FHong Kong, China7 contributionsyou have to find a local store to buy a drink first if you wanna enter to the train street, otherwise the police won’t let you in, a good experience and the price is affordable thoWritten January 20, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- sweetpearl88Singapore278 contributionsHad a lovely early morning at the Tran Quoc Pagoda. Very peaceful place before the loads of tourists start coming in.
Nice place to visit, away from the hustle and bustle of Hanoi centre. The Pagoda lasted 2 World Wars and a piece of Hanoi history. A must see when you are in town.Written October 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The buildings and figurines are very fine as is the architecture. The temple is surronded by a lake and accesible via a nice bridge. One of the must sees in Hanoi.Written November 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Strike_rightTunis, Tunisia89 contributionsGo for a lively environment, nice picnic, a weekend brunch a beautiful sunset, a lot of sunset pictures, and a long walk.
Avoid for evening pollution.Written January 14, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Arrived round 9.00 am . As o hired a driver not a guide I took myself off to explore. There is an entry fee of 20 thousand Dong , you get a map.
How hard can this be!
I wandered round for a few hours discovering some interesting places and had a delicious custard apple smoothie.
In reality it would have been better to have a guided tour. I’m sure I missed highlights my map reading isn’t great.
There is a buggy takes people about the highlights of the village . Worth considering
I had lunch there as well not enjoyable either .
However I’m pleased with the overall experienceWritten December 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- wendy dArthur's Pass National Park, New Zealand23 contributionsWent as part of a private tour. This is very much a locals location. So we felt honoured to be just a few of the westerners up the mountain. The walk up to Ho Chi Minh is over 1200 evenly sized steps, so although a lot, it is very achievable.
The temple and pagoda and views (if the clouds break), are beautiful.
abandoned church down the mountain was amazing.
Definitely worth a visit. A spectacular day out. One of my highlights of 5 week visit to Vietnam.Written July 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This is the second time I've taken Lotus Train, and both times, the ride was enjoyable and the service really good. We enjoyed eating the snacks provided in the room--and most importantly, are grateful for the car attendant who was a big help because my wife's existing fever (got sick in Da Nang) got seriously high and the attendant, Mr. Duy, brought a cooler filled with warm water and a cloth. He gently placed it on her forehead and showed me how to change it every 5 minutes. At the end, it was helpful as her fever came down. Thank you Mr. Duy! I should mention that communications with Lotus Train management was easy and quick. If you want a fun overnight trip (why fly when you can sleep on a train), take Lotus Train.Written January 19, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Panagiotis S.12 contributionsAmazing, impressive, worth visiting. I walked about 3 km of it and took a lot of pictures. The only negative is that is along a heavy traffic road, but is a must visit in Hanoi!Written December 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Brian JudeUnited Kingdom488 contributionsA true north Vietnamese experience
Very skillful puppetry.
You understood the stories from the big screen summaries that were very well done
Not my cup often but wife lived it and sure kids would aswell. But you can’t deny the skillWritten December 24, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

If you have children, make sure you grab the seat booster as you walk in yo take your seats.Written January 10, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
