Kim Liên Temple, Hà Nội

Kim Liên Temple is a source of pride for Vietnamese people and a reminder of the capital's thousand-year cultural heritage. It not only preserves many valuable historical artifacts but also hosts a variety of distinctive traditional festivals.

Kim Liên Temple is known as one of the “Four Sacred Temples of Thăng Long”—four sacred temples dedicated to the four deities guarding the eastern, western, southern and northern approaches to the former Thăng Long Imperial Citadel. It is also a deeply meaningful destination on the Hà Nội travel map that every visitor will want to experience at least once.

Kim Liên Communal House, Kim Liên Temple, also known as Cao Sơn Temple, guards the south as part of the “Four Sacred Temples of Thăng Long.” The temple formerly stood in Đông Tác Ward, Thọ Xương District, Hoài Đức Prefecture, and is now in Phương Liên Ward, Đống Đa District, Hà Nội.
