Dinh Tien Hoang St., Hanoi, VietnamAbout
The Temple of the Jade Mountain is located on Hoàn Kiếm Lake in central Hanoi, Vietnam. Being built on the Jade Islet and dedicated to Confucian and Taoist philosophers and the national hero, Tran Hưng Dạo, the small temple was expanded in 1865. From the shore, the Welcoming Morning Sunlight Bridge leads to the island. 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. The temple is a popular spot for visitors to Hoan Kiem Lake.
