At the Temple of Literature, considered Vietnam's first university, Halla-aho and his entourage were briefed on its history of formation and development, and contemplated ancient architectural structures there.

To mark his visit, the Speaker wrote in a golden guestbook and received a book about the temple from a leader of the Van Mieu-Quoc Tu Giam Culture and Science Centre.

Constructed under the Ly Dynasty (1010-1225), the temple stands as one of Hanoi's most popular landmarks and a significant symbol of knowledge and education in Vietnam.

At the Hoa Lo prison relic, the Finnish leader delved into Vietnam's revolutionary past through valuable documents and artifacts, gaining an insight into the courage and unwavering spirit of Vietnamese revolutionaries.
