An Ancient Tribute to Learning

This is the Temple of Literature in Ha Noi. As I think back, it was perhaps one of the most impressive places I saw in Vietnam. It was built in the 1000's and dedicated to Confucius and to higher learning. I continue to be astonished at the wisdom of Confucius and was so impressed that this structure with the mature foliage remains today as a place school children visit to seek enlightenment. If you look real hard, you can see the little ones at the end of the path.
