    Hiking

    The Temple of Literature (Văn Miếu – Quốc Tử Giám) is one of Vietnam's most important historical landmarks and a must-see for every visitor to Hanoi. It is considered a symbol of education, culture, and the deep reverence for Confucian teachings.

    Founded in 1070 by Emperor Li Thánh Tong, the temple was originally dedicated to Confucius but quickly evolved into a center of learning. In 1076, Quốc Tử Giám, Vietnam's first imperial university, was established on the site. For over 700 years, it educated the sons of the mandarins and later the most gifted students in the country.
