The Temple of Literature, known as Van Mieu. The temple was built in 1070 during the Ly dynasty. When it was first established, only people of noble birth were admitted to the grounds. In 1442 the university opened its doors to receive talented students from across the country. In the 15th century the emperor Le Thanh Thong had commemorative inscriptions made for all who were given a doctorate. Today 82 stelae for 1,307 laureates remain.

What to expect

Welcome to Hanoi, Vietnam. In the morning, we will meet at your hotel/hostel for breakfast. We then walk to Ngoc Son temple to learn about the history of Hanoi and take photographs of the traditional Vietnamese architecture.

Then we walk along the old town. We will visit the iconic Hanoi Train Street, Hanoi Flag tower and through to the Vietnam military museum. After, we will stop in the beautiful Lenin park, for a quick rest before we continue to walk to Van Mieu- the Temple of Literature.

The Temple of Literature was Vietnam's first university. The complex consists of five separate courtyards, highlighted by the Khue Van Pavilion and eight-two of the steles remain. These are considered the most valuable artifacts at the temple. The Temple of Literature, known as Van Mieu, has honored Vietnam’s intellectual elite for centuries. Originally a university dedicated to Confucius, this historic temple pays homage to the philosopher and the many intellectuals who have contributed to building Vietnam’s scholarly culture.

To finish our day we will have lunch at an antique French style restaurant. We can relax with coffee or tea and admire the ancient French architecture.
