The Temple of Literature - Quoc Tu Giam (Ha Noi) is one of the popular tourist spots in Ha Noi. Visitors who come to Ha Noi always wish to visit a special historical - cultural relic of the Capital in particular and of Vietnam in general, where the most unique values of Vietnamese culture are kept and preserved.
As other famous relic spots, the Temple of Literature - Quoc Tu Giam is often crowded on the weekend. Back in the old time, when the relic used a traditional paper ticket, visitors and the management board suffered a number of inconveniences, namely being unable to buy online tickets, printing costs, waste discharged into the environment, and difficulty in ticket sales and control.

Since the official launch on 13th May 2022, the e-ticket system is considered as a break-through step of the Temple of Literature - Quoc Tu Giam. The system has changed the operational management model into a convenient, effective and favourable direction for visitors. This is the cooperation programme among the Centre of Science and Culture Activities of the Temple of Literature – Quoc Tu Giam (Ha Noi), the Tourism Information Technology Center (TITC) (under Vietnam National Administration of Tourism - VNAT) and VIETSENS Technology Group.

One of the most remarkable advantages of the e-ticket system is the minimising usage of paper tickets. Particularly, a tourist group needs only 1 ticket for entry; moreover, the ticket is printed in a small size with a QR code.
The entrance of the Temple of Literature is split into two, one for free entry visitors and other for ticketed entry. Visitors will scan their QR code on the ticket and the gate will open for entry.
More convenient for visitors
