Ngoc Son Temple in Vietnam, Hanoi Resort
Rating: 7,8/10 (2097 votes)  Ngoc Son Temple was built on an island in the middle of Hoan Kiem Lake in the 19th century. Initially, the building was called Ngoc Son Pagoda, however, over time it was renamed the Ngoc Son Temple, since only temples could be dedicated to saints. Saint Van Swong is revered here – one of the brightest stars in the intellectual and literary circles of the country, and Huang Dao – the hero who led the people of Vietnam to victory in the battle with the Yuan invaders. In 1864, restoration work was carried out here under the leadership of Nguyen Van Xuem, which changed the original appearance of the temple. A high tower was erected by a Confucian scholar in front of the entrance to the temple, in the upper part of which were carved three Ta Thanh Tien hieroglyphs, meaning `` to write in blue sky.
