TEMPLE OF LITERATURE

Being embarassingly uninterested in history but about the opposite amount interested in culture, we  decided to take a stroll down Hàng Gai street from our usually morning walk around Hoan Kiem to se Hanoi's Temple of Literature.

Often more estetically oriented when it comes to picking sights to see, we weren't disapointed with this one. This was once Vietnam's first national university, built in 1070. Nowadays, it is still used to celebrate doctorates as a place for graduates to go and take their pictures for the big day, something we had the fortune to witness.

Touch for luck!
