Ngoc Son Temple

Set on a small island in the heart of Hoan Kiem Lake, Ngoc Son Temple is one of Hanoi’s most cherished cultural landmarks, where history, spirituality, and the atmosphere of the old capital come together in a uniquely picturesque setting. Reached by the iconic red The Huc Bridge, the temple has long been one of the most recognizable sights in the city and forms part of the Hoan Kiem Lake and Ngoc Son Temple special national monument complex. 

For visitors, Ngoc Son Temple offers more than a brief stop by the lake. It captures something essential about Hanoi itself: reflective, historic, and full of quiet character even in the middle of the city. Compact yet memorable, it remains one of the capital’s most rewarding places to experience architecture, legend, and the enduring spirit of old Hanoi.
