Vibrant night tour at Hanoi’s iconic tourist site

The newly launched night tour at the Temple of Literature has delighted local and international visitors to Hanoi City.

The night tour entitled "The Quintessence of Education" at the Temple of Literature has been heavily marketed to domestic and foreign tourists by the Center for Cultural and Scientific Activities of Van Mieu - Quoc Tu Giam.

According to Le Xuan Kieu, Director of the Center for Cultural and Scientific Activities, Temple of Literature, the tour uses modern 3D mapping technology to tell stories about Confucianism and Vietnam's history and sages through strong visuals.

"This vibrant and colorful night tour not only delights children but also adults, giving visitors to the monument a pleasant and positive experience," she said.
