 Hue Temple of Literature
In Hue, the Temple of Literature is located on the bank of the Huong River, to the west
of the Citadel, just 1 kilometer from Linh Mu Pagoda.
Hue Temple of Literature was built in 1908 during the reign of Emperor Gia Long, on the
top of a hill. Over the years afterwards, the temple has gone through several major
restoration works.
The remaining of the complex consists of about 50 architectural works, the biggest of
which is the worshiping hall of Confucius.
After going past the main gate, we would see several small houses where kings and
mandarins would stop by to prepare their costumes before going inside to attend the
ceremony. At the front there are two rows of 32 stone tablets bearing the names of 239
successful candidates in National Examinations organized through the Nguyen Dynasty.
Although the monument has been damaged during the war, the main temple and especially
