.vn: Hanoi: temples













Since we were visting during Tet, many people were at all of the temples, paying homage to their ancestors. We also saw people burning money in the streets for their ancestors.

We also went to the Temple of Literature, Vietnam's first university, founded ca. 1100. The turtle stelae were built to honor those who graduated with a doctorate; now, people rub them for good luck.
