Đền Ngọc Sơn có lịch sử khá lâu đời và đặc biệt. Xưa kia, đây vốn là ngôi đền thờ Quan đế để trấn áp cái ác, sau chuyển sang thờ Phật, cuối cùng Đền được tu sửa lại giống như ngày nay. Bước qua cổng đền Ngọc Sơn là đến đền chính gồm hai ngôi đền nối liền nhau: Ngôi đền thứ nhất ở phía Bắc thờ Hưng đạo Đại Vương Trần Quốc Tuần (Trần Hưng Đạo) và thần Văn Xương Đế Quân (chủ quản văn chương, khoa cử). Tượng của Hưng Đạo Vương được đặt trên một bệ đá cao 1m, hai bên là hai cầu thang bằng đá. Còn tượng Văn Xương Đế Quân dựng đứng uy nghiêm, trên tay ông cầm bút, thể hiện dáng vẻ thư thái, nho nhã. Phía Nam của đền còn có đình Trấn Ba (hay còn gọi là đình chắn song – ngụ ý là cột trụ đứng vững giữa những thay đổi thời thế). Đình Trấn Ba có hình vuông, bao gồm tám mái, mái hai tầng có 8 cột chống đỡ, bốn cột ngoài bằng đá, bốn cột trong được làm bằng gỗ đầy uy thế. Ngoài ra, Đền cũng thờ Phật A-di-đà, Lã Động Tân, Quan Vân Trường,.. nhằm thể hiện rõ quan niệm “tam giáo đồng nguyên” của người Việt với ý nghĩa rộng hơn là tinh thần đoàn kết, hòa hợp các tôn giáo.

Ngoc Son Temple is a temple located on the Jade Island of Hoan Kiem Lake in Hanoi, Vietnam. This is also a special national monument of Vietnam, built from the 19th century. At first called Ngoc Son pagoda, later renamed Ngoc Son temple because the temple only worships Van Xuong De Quan as the throne the star of the literature dispatched and worships Tran Hung Dao, a hero who defeated the Nguyen Dynasty in the 13th century.

I had been to Hanoi several times before finally visiting this temple. The temple itself is small, but nice, and there is a lovely gentleman inside who will do a calligraphy scroll for you for 200,000 dong. He has a book full of things for you to choose from. A nice break from the hustle and bustle of the Old Quarter.

Entrance is 30k dong, however there's really nothing to see inside other than a small regular temple and a small exhibit on the turtle. You can just take photos from the outside of the red bridge. Beautiful during the day and illuminated at night.

Very beautiful to see this all lit up at night. Highly suggested for a romantic stroll around the lake. There is an entry fee if you want to go over the bridge and onto the island. We heard a local guy telling that it wasn’t really worth the entry fee price.

Place was crowded as today’s is the Lunar New Year and Tet for Vietnamese. The place was impressive. Worth a visit

Very beautiful and serene. The highly decorated temple is quite amazing; the two deities inside apparently take care of the human health and well being.

Very picturesque temple in the heart of Hanoi. I really liked the fact that the stories about the temple, the tortoise and the sword was also written in English. It is authentic as you can see the most recent offerings (including a can of Heineken beer)

Lakes very green and there is a red bridge. There are like giant turtles on display like something out of Jurassic park they are huge. There are some shots here if the weathers right. On the platform out to the whole lake. Which is rather nice if the weathers nice. Could go there and pray. Such places always have a sense of peace and calm for me.

The small temple on jade islet located at the heart of Hanoi. Preciously temple to worship for Taoist. Red bridge is easily seen to cross over to reach at the temple. It is surrounded by beautiful scenario of the Hoan Kiem lake. One of the most place to visit in an Old Quarter. Ticket to be paid before entrance to the temple which price is double up for tourists.

A lovely look into the history of Vietnam. Beautiful scenery and very calm atmosphere. The shrines are amazing to look at and are maintained very well. Wonderful view across the lake, this will only take 30 mins of your time. Should be on your tick list..

This is a wonderful look into Vietnamese history of folklore and legend. We I love is this legend was supported with a real turtle and sword. People were actively making offerings so the site has religious significance. To a tourist this was wonderful.

A popular and recommended stop while visiting Hanoi. The temple of the jade mountain is dedicated to a Vietnam nationa Hero, Tran Hung Dao. The place opens from 8 to 17 hrs and the ticket cost is 30,000 VD. Good to visit at night as you can get good pictures since the temple is nicely illuminated.

I loved this temple although it is very busy over the weekend. It is a nice part of hiking around the lake. The turtles and their story are very interesting and you learn a lot about the Vietnamese culture and values.

If you see this review, you should decide to visit in this beautiful place especially, Saturday’s night! Really nice and good to feel multiple cultures in Hanoi. And also, had various photo zones XD.

Beautiful temple in the middle of the lake. You have to pay 35k to get in and most of the times is packed with tourists. But if you wait foe a good chance you can snap a great picture.

A nice place to cool down on hot days (usually not too busy during the week) and get a different view of the lake and surroundings. The embalmed giant turtles are quite a sight. Most people don't realize how massive they are just through photos.

Wonderful spot. Great blend of tourists and locals. Very peaceful spot in the center of the city. Definitely a must see if you are in Hanoi.

Situated at the heart of the city where tourist attractions locate, the temple ambiance is so peaceful overlooking the serene lake. Winter was more enjoyable to walk around and take pics.

On of the most touristic place in Hanoi. If it's not raining, normally on weekend there would be a lot of couples, old ladies and old men dancing, some young people plays juggling, and street ice cream with local flavour, such as coconut cream, green sticky rice flavour. My fav is green sticky rice flavour.

A nice backdrop to Hanoi. They often close the surrounding streets, particularly during the weekends, so that people can stroll. It feels Ike people just walk and talk around the lake which is quite fun to people watch! The template itself cost money to go inside. The bridge is beautiful and picturesque.

For me this is the highlight of visiting the lake, specially going at night when the red bridge glows and reflections are so beautiful. So many people around but it is a good feeling of being in Hanoi.

A beautiful serine place in the middle of Hanoi! The area is well lit at night and offers a gorgeous view from the shore! Stunning to look at while out for a walk. If you're in Hanoi and you haven't seen the Temple of the jade mountain than your missing out

An interesting temple and legend from the early times of Vietnam. It is worth a visit and doesn’t take long. This is a great area to visit early in the morning or evening as sitting by the lake side or having a coffee at a nearby cafe is quite nice. I really recommend concentrating your hotel search to this area. The re is much to see and do within an easy walk from here.

Temple was nice to see and easily accessible within the centre of Hanoi. Very crowded and touristy, which made it hard to enjoy. The Temple of literature, although further out of the centre, is just as beautiful a temple, with half the crowd size.

They should market as temple of the largest turtles you’ve ever seen. They’ve done a bit of taxidermy on the legendary turtles that used to live in this lake and after 400 years you can see where the stories and obsessions have come from. Other than that there’s a couple nice viewpoints for photo opportunities. Staff here are not strict about shorts vs long pants from my experience.

Great place to stroll, take a few shots of photos or relax on the benches. A popular spot for travellers as it's near Hanoi Old Quarters. Near the lake are food centers, cafe with great Vietnamese coffee. This place is easily accessible by public transport - taxi or local buses.

Nice lake..to stroll around.. hang a little bit.. you'll find many locals.. old and young roaming, biking, relaxing, exercising.. you name it.. Since it is around a busy area.. there's o problem in finding multiple things to eat drink shop around.. feel free.. even in late nights.. the stroll feels safe.. advantage on that side.. the structure in the center with all it's night glow looks fantastic

A small but nice temple bang in the middle of Hanoi. Very close to the old quarters and water puppet theater, you have to buy a ticket to go inside. There is a friendly cat inside the temple for cat lovers. I noticed a local person meditating among the chatter of tourists and was quite impressed by his devotion and the ability to concentrate.

Was only made worth the entrance fee by the look on this tortoises face. The rest of the temple was very average. On the day of our visit they were burning lots of paper that was coated in ink and plastic. Yumm a deep breath of cancer while you try and appreciate a temple.

Nice temple built in a small island over the lake. The red bridge that connects it to the mainland would be really pretty if not for the crowds of tourists taking selfies. It’s free to get till the end of the bridge, 30,000 if you want to visit the temple. It’s nice to see it lighted at night from the other side of the lake as well.

Peter Davies

Beautiful building and amazing grounds. The intricacies of the construction is amazing. It was busy when we were there but well worth the stop along the river. The coffee hut on the outside of the temple was a nice spot to relax and cool down.

Very interesting temple built on an island in the middle of the lake! This temple is under renovation but don’t let that stop you. Make sure you find the legend of the giant turtles in the lake! One is enshrined on the grounds of this temple! Worth a quick visit when exploring the old quarter of Hanoi!

Entry to the temple costs 30k and you access it over a wooden bridge that is full of tourists taking scenic selfies. The temple is being renovated as of November 2018 so doesn't look pretty from the outside. Inside is a colourful Confucian temple which is still used by locals for prayer. So be mindful when taking pictures.
