Yushan Temple is located on the small Yushan Island by the side of Hoan Kiem Lake. According to records, the Zheng Dynasty of Vietnam once built Ruiqing Palace and Zuowang Pavilion on Yushan Island, which were later destroyed by war. Later, a Taoist temple was built on Yushan Island, which was rebuilt in 1872 and further expanded in scale. The Qixu Bridge is an arch bridge with a wooden structure running east-west. After crossing the bridge, there is Zhenbo Pavilion in front of Yushan Temple, which means "pillar of Wenlan", in order to control the waves. There is a wall on the way to enter the temple, which means "forget the world". There is a pen tower on a small soil slope, and a large inkstone platform is built relatively not far away. One day every year, when the sun rises, the tip of the pen tower shadows into the inkstone platform. There are many inscriptions and couplets in Yushan Temple. The entire monastery has a delicate structure and is small and exquisite, which complements the scenery of Hoan Kiem Lake, just like the scenery of Penglai. Yushan Island was the Diaoyutai of Emperor Li Dynasty in the 15th century. In the 18th century, the Guandi Temple was built on the island, and later expanded into Yushan Temple. Now it is still dedicated to Guandi and national heroes. There is also a tortoise specimen salvaged from Hoan Kiem Lake in mid-1968, weighing 250 kilograms, making the legend of the turtle in the lake even more mysterious.

It was a temple on an island in Hoan Kiem Lake, a lake in the old town of Hanoi. I felt that the turtle was surprisingly telling a legend.
Yushan Island is located on the small Yushan Island on the shore of Hoan Kiem Lake. The island is round and looks like jade. It is named Yushan Island, which is named after the island. This Yushan Island is connected to the lake shore by a 40-meter Taigu Bridge. Built in the late 18th century of the Li Dynasty, this is a Chinese-style ancient building, the temple is dedicated to Guandi, Lu Zu, Chen Xingdao and Wenchang Emperor. Except for Chen Xingdao, the rest are Taoist gods widely circulated in China during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Chen Xingdao is a famous general of the Vietnamese Chen Dynasty, a national hero, and a god of the Vietnamese witches. His real name is Chen Guojun, who has been reading books since childhood, and has been skilled in military law and astronomy, collecting military law and studying gossip and nine palace maps. In the 13th century, he led the army to repel the Yuan Dynasty army, so he was knighted as a national hero. In the eyes of Vietnamese people, he was a powerful symbol of exorcism and can cure women's infertility and dystoxia. Yushan Island was originally the Diaoyutai of Li Taizu, and later built the Guandi Temple. During the Sui Dynasty, it was restored by the followers of the Suixi Society. In the 19th century, the Wenchang Palace was built by the imperial examinations and the scribes of the First Dynasty. The island was lush with lush trees and thick shade. There was a pen tower next to it, which was a five-story tower. There were triple gates, halls, corridors, etc.
To visit Yushanyu, you have to pass a small Qiyu Bridge, it seems that you have to collect thousands of dong tickets, which is very cheap. This scorpion is not big. On a small Yushan island on Hoan Kiem Lake, the building is antique, and I thought it was a small temple in China, and I can see very familiar Chinese characters and totems.
