Temple of Literature
2025 Hanoi, Vietnam
Hanoi's Temple of Literature was founded in 1070 as a Confucian temple and later housed Vietnam's first national university, established in 1076. The photograph, taken in 2025, shows the complex of courtyards and pavilions that remains a major cultural site in the capital.
