Temple of Literature
Viet Nam's first University
Founded in 1070

Originally only young men of noble blood were allowed to attend
'However in 1442 a different approach was taken and gifted students from all over the nation
headed to Hanoi to study Confucianism, literature and poetry' (Lonely planet website)
In 1484 the Emperor ordered 'stele' be erected to record the names of the most gifted students.
