    You must visit this place!!!

  • Welcom to Temple of Literature, Hanoi, Vietnam
    By [Chích Đạo Bang Chủ] ™†•Cool—ß®y•†™, 10/20/07
    I very like this place!
    Located in the Dong Da section of Hanoi, Van Mieu, or the Temple of Literature, is the oldest school in Vietnam, giving it the distinction of being the most significant temple in both Hanoi and Vietnam. It is representative of Confucian ways of thought and behavior, and is a historical and cultural relic.

    By A Yahoo! Contributer, 06/02/07
    an ancient university. I lived near Temple of Literature some years ago. It's a very peaceful place.
    Everything about the place was fabulous - the layout of the place, the tranquillity of the gardens, the devotion to knowledge, virtue.

  • Nothing like it in the United States
    By A Yahoo! Contributer, 05/03/07
    The temple is something that many Americans don't understand in a country with such a long history and culture. I went in April but the weather was very hot. Should visit in Nov, Dec or Jan it is much cooler then. I had a guide and it made the experience much better. Go duing the week so you can talk to the school children that are there as well. It is a must see in Hanoi and gives you a good overview of the depth of the culture.

  • Temple of Literature, the first university in Vietnam
    By Let's build a better world, 03/04/07
    Temple of Literature, the first university in Vietnam. It named "V&#259;n Mi&#7871;u" in Vietnamese. Students usually go to Van Mieu to wish a lucky thing in their studies. They also come here to receive a meaningful letter. I have just received a letter. It means "Minh" in vietnamese and Bright in English ;)

  • don't miss it!
    By Joy, 12/10/06
    The temple of literature is really a beautiful historical site that contains the ancient wisdom and knowledge of the scholars. You can also see the letters writen by the Kings of the past, preserved over the centuries and the garments of the chief examiners. They have old fossiled artifacts over some million years old on display as well as some genuine pottery discovered then. It's really an experience worth discovering!
