The Temple of the Jade Mountain (Ngọc Sơn) is located on Hoàn Kiếm Lake in central Hanoi, Vietnam. Being built on the Jade Islet and dedicated to Confucian Taoist philosophers and the national hero, Tran Hung Dao, the small temple was expanded in 1865.

From the shore, the Welcoming Morning Sunlight Bridge leads to the island. Buildings of the temple include the Pen Tower, the ink slab, the Moon Contemplation Pavilion and the Pavilion against Waves, all of which have symbolic meaning.
