In the heart of Hanoi, a city with a thousand years of cultural heritage, the Temple of Literature – National University stands as a vivid testament to the Vietnamese people's studious spirit, their respect for teachers, and their unceasing thirst for knowledge. Built in the 11th century, it was the first university in Vietnam – a cradle for nurturing talent, and a symbol embodying etiquette, scholarship, and intellect.
Each moss-covered tile roof, each row of stone steles inscribed with the names of wise men of the past, carries within it the echoes of time. The Temple of Literature is not only an ancient architectural complex, but also a place that preserves sacred spiritual values that have shaped the soul of the nation for generations.

Driven by the aspiration to awaken the depth of Vietnamese culture through the power of technology, YooLife – a pioneering virtual reality social media platform – has built a digital journey of the Temple of Literature – National University, where viewers can step into the past with just a click.
No longer a passive experience through books or static images, users can now "travel through time" to enter the sacred and ancient space of the Temple of Literature - National University using VR360 virtual reality technology combined with sophisticated 3D models. Each ancient curved roof, each moss-covered wall, each stone pedestal inscribed with the names of wise men... all appear vividly, in detail, and with surprising realism, as if the past is whispering ancient stories in the heart of modern times.
Visitors can leisurely stroll through iconic landmarks such as Khue Van Cac – where the essence of scholarship shines, Dai Trung Mon – the gateway to the world of etiquette, Thai Hoc – where talented individuals were trained for the nation, or the area of doctoral steles – where names are recorded in history. These stone steles are recreated using high-resolution 3D models, allowing for 360-degree rotation and magnification of intricate details, while also revealing layers of information, documents, and accompanying historical stories, creating a deeply interactive learning, exploration, and appreciation experience.
