of rivers and lakes. There are many historical places to visit in Ha Noi. The Literature Temple
(Van Mieu - Quoc Tu Glam) is the country’s first-ever historical university. Teenagers often
come here to pray for high results in their upcoming examinations. As Viet Nam is a Buddhism-
oriented nation, its capital has also been the centre of Buddhism for centuries. In Ha Noi alone,
there are about 600 temples and pagodas. It also has a big church in the city centre, a popular
place for the few Christians living here. With a population of nearly eight million, the city is
