Den Ngoc Son, or ˉJade Mountain Templeˇ is one of the most revered religious complexes in the capital. Established by the scholarly mandarin Nguyen Van Sieu (17991872) appropriate symbols of learning and literature mark the temple complex. A stylised stone ink slab rests atop the arched gate at the entrance; nearby a tapering stone pillar representing a traditional Chinese brush pen rises through five levels. On its side, three Chinese ideograms proclaim ta thanh thien, or ˉwriting on a clear skyˇ. Beyond the entrance, a red-painted, gracefully arched wooden bridge leads across the still green waters to a small island in the north of the lake. This is the celebrated The Huc or ˉRising Sunˇ Bridge, where groups of Vietnamese children often huddle hoping to catch a glimpse of one of the lakeˇs legendary turtles.
