Tourists, particularly the foreign ones, now flock to the site for taking a look into its profound traditional meanings of both a Confucian temple and the first university of Vietnam. Văn Miếu or Temple of Literature, known as "pagode des Corbeaux" during the period of French colonization, was founded as a Confucian temple in 1070.
Only parts of the temple complex date back to the earliest period, although much of the architecture dates to the Ly (1010 – 1225) and Tran (1225 – 1400) Dynasties. In 1076, Vietnam's first university, the Quốc Tử Giám (or National University), was established within this temple to educate Vietnam's mandarin class. The university functioned for more than 700 years, from 1076 to 1779, during which, 2,313 doctors graduated. Hence, the complex has been attached to the name of Temple of literature Giam up to now. This is the first reason why it becomes one of most Vietnam Popular Destinations for tourists.
