According to Ms. Dong Bich Du - Consul General of the People's Republic of China in Da Nang, Chinese has a deep historical relationship with Vietnam. Typically, the Temple of Literature in Hanoi, the Imperial Citadel in Hue and Linh Ung Pagoda in Da Nang all have signs written in Chinese. In addition, many words in Vietnamese can be compared word by word with Chinese through Sino-Vietnamese pronunciation.
