History
At the end of the Le Dynasty, Le Chieu Thong ordered people to destroy Thuy Khanh Palace.
After that, a philanthropist named Tin Trai built a temple on the old foundation of Thuy Khanh palace and named it Ngoc Son pagoda to worship Buddha.
During the Le dynasty, Lord Trinh Giang built Thuy Khanh palace on the foundation of the old Ngoc Son temple.
Some time later, his son Tin Trai ceded the temple to a charity.
The history of Ngoc Son temple is associated with the story of King Ly Thai To. When he moved the capital to Thang Long, he named the existing temple here named Ngoc Tuong.
In 1865, Ngoc Son Temple was restored by the Confucian Nguyen Van Sieu.
