Ngoc Son Temple

This is a small temple located on an island. Entry tickets have to be bought at the main entrance for entry. The temple is beautiful and very peaceful. It becomes more beautiful at night because of the lights. Visit this temple if you are in the vicinity of old quarters.

It’s a perfect blend of cultural exploration and relaxation, highly recommended for anyone visiting Hanoi.

We need to buy the ticket entrance (25,000 vnd for adult) it should be free. It's a pretty quick tour. I hope they can put the detail signage in the front of each turtle for easier reading rather than 2 big posters and organise more kid activities such as maps, maze, colouring, photo with turtles,etc.

Right in the centre of the lake is Ngoc Son Temple (Jade Mountain Temple) a temple sitting on a small island. It was erected in the 19th century . The sacred temple, create a historical complex that has been the pride of Hanoian for hundreds of years. Entrance fee - adult 30,000 vnd , Free for children under 15 Visited January 2025

The temple itself is small but its location in the Hoan Kiem Lake and the use of lights at night makes it a very special place to visit. Tickets are very cheap by Western standards and one can visit the whole temple in about 30 minutes (more if the visitor is willing to examine some of the details around the temple). It is a great spot for pictures, both of the temple itself but also of the surrounding lake. It is smack in the middle of Old Town so it is easy to access other attractions from there.

This temple is not too big in size so it can be enjoyed in about 30-45 minutes. The lake around it is very beautiful especially on a sunny day. We saw some turtles swimming in the lake when we were about to enter this temple. The ticket price is affordable 50,000 dong for adults and free for my child (9 years old)

Worth a visit, if going during August get there for opening as it is very hot/humid.. the site is fascinating and really interesting to look round, as part of our tickets we had a golf cart take us down to the site which was great, but we did have to walk back some of the way. Again with the heat, be prepared with plenty of water. Our guide was really knowledgeable. We booked the trip through trip advisor.

This is a small temple within the lake in Hanoi old quarter. The ticket price is 50000 VND. I would recommend visiting during the day as well as during the night. The temple has colorful lighting and it looks great at night.
