The Temple of the Jade Mountain (Vietnamese: Đền Ngọc Sơn, Chữ Hán: 殿玉山) is located on the Jade Islet in Hoàn Kiếm Lake, central Hanoi, Vietnam.

History

Being built on the Jade Islet and dedicated to Confucian and Taoist philosophers and the national hero, Trần Hưng Đạo, the small temple was expanded in 1865.

From the shore, the Welcoming Morning Sunlight Bridge (Cầu Thê Húc) leads to the islet. Buildings of the temple include the Pen Tower (Tháp Bút), the ink-slab (Dai Nghien), the Moon Contemplation Pavilion (Dac Nguyet) and the Pavilion against Waves (Đình Trấn Ba), all of which have symbolic meaning.
