This would be the fourth night tour in Ha Noi. The first three are tours of the Hoa Lo Prison Relic, the Thang Long Imperial Citadel and the Vietnam Museum of Literature.
The latest night tour uses 3D mapping technology to tell different stories about Confucianism and the country’s history and sages. Iconic structures within the site include the Pavilion of the constellation of literature, the Garden of doctoral steles, and Thien Quang well.
The doctoral steles were inscribed on UNESCO's Memory of the World Register in 2011. The Pavilion area will be designated as a venue for traditional music performances.
Established in the 11th century, the Temple of Literature is the first university in Vietnam.
