Temple of Literature

Also called Van Mieu, the Temple of Literature is a must-see!

It is one of the most interesting place in Hanoi. It was built in honor of Confucius. Inside the temple (by the way, this is not a religious site) there are turtle statues carrying pillars of concrete, and written on the concrete are the names of the most prominent academics in Vietnam. I think the entrance fee is just VND 10,000 for "mot nguoi" (one person).
