Temple of the Jade Mountain


The Temple of the Jade Mountain is located on the Jade Islet in Hoàn Kiếm Lake, central Hanoi, Vietnam.

History

Being built on the Jade Islet and dedicated to Confucian and Taoist philosophers and the national hero, Trần Hưng Đạo, the small temple was expanded in 1865.
From the shore, the Welcoming Morning Sunlight Bridge leads to the islet. Buildings of the temple include the Pen Tower, the ink-slab, the Moon Contemplation Pavilion and the Pavilion against Waves, all of which have symbolic meaning.
