Hanoi has the best of them. The Temple of Literature, founded in 1070, housed the country's first university, and its courtyards keep stone steles naming successful doctoral candidates, set on the backs of tortoises. Ngoc Son sits on an islet in Hoan Kiem Lake, reached by the red The Huc Bridge, Quan Thanh guards the north of the old capital with a great bronze statue of Tran Vu, and Bach Ma hides among the shop houses of the Old Quarter. Come early.
