Ngoc Son Temple: A Serene Sanctuary in the Heart of Hanoi

Getting There

• Walking

  If you are in the Old Quarter of Hanoi, head southeast on Hang Gai Street towards Hoan Kiem Lake. Continue straight until you reach the lake's edge. Once at the lake, look for the red wooden bridge known as the Huc Bridge. Cross the bridge to enter Ngoc Son Temple, which is located on an island in the lake.

• Public Transport (Bus)

  Find the nearest bus stop and take bus number 14 or 18 towards Hoan Kiem Lake. Get off at the 'Dinh Tien Hoang' bus stop. From there, walk towards the lake, and you will see the entrance to Ngoc Son Temple directly ahead, just a short stroll across the Huc Bridge.

• Cyclo (Bicycle Taxi)

  If you prefer a cyclo ride, you can hire one from any area within the Old Quarter. Simply tell the driver 'Ngoc Son Temple' or show them a map with the location marked. They will take you directly to the entrance of the temple, where you can enjoy the scenic views of Hoan Kiem Lake along the way.

• Taxi (on foot to nearest taxi stand)

  Walk to the nearest taxi stand, which can typically be found around the Old Quarter. Once there, you can flag down a taxi and tell the driver 'Ngoc Son Temple' in Vietnamese or show them the address: 2VJ2+7XC, P. Đinh Tiên Hoàng, Hàng Trống, Hoàn Kiếm, Hà Nội. The taxi will drop you off at the entrance of the temple.
