Place to visit in Ngoc Son Temple

Nestled on the serene Hoan Kiem Lake in the heart of Hanoi, Ngoc Son Temple (Temple of the Jade Mountain) is one of Vietnam’s most iconic spiritual and cultural landmarks. Connected to the lake shore by the charming red-painted Huc Bridge, this 18th-century temple honors General Tran Hung Dao, a revered national hero who defended Vietnam from Mongol invasions.
