Ho Van - Van Mieu (Temple of Literature) is Hanoi’s oldest cultural sanctuary—and the birthplace of Vietnamese scholarship. For over 700 years, it’s been the sacred ground where scholars prayed for academic success. Today, its ancient courtyard, stone steles, and traditional architecture still echo with the spirit of learning. Stand before Confucius’ altar, listen to wind chime through wooden eaves, and almost hear the ancient scholars reciting classics. This isn’t just a site—it’s a ritual dialogue with a thousand years of wisdom.
