Originally built in 1070, the Temple of Literature in Hanoi is a Confucius Temple which was the first National University in Vietnam.
Of all the places we visited on our free walking tour, our guides seemed most proud of this place and its history.
A pagoda in the Temple of Literature is featured on the back of the 100,000 Vietnamese Dong and was the first of two Asian sites we visited that are featured on currency. Seems like a curious travel theme - visit all the sites featured on a country's money.
