The current temple was built in the 19th century. At first it was called Ngoc Son pagoda, later it was called Ngoc Son temple because the temple only worshiped the god Van Xuong De Quan, the star who presided over literary examinations, and worshiped Tran Hung. Dao, the hero who defeated the Yuan army in the 13th century. Initially, when King Ly Thai To moved the capital to Thang Long, he named the existing temple Ngoc Tuong. During the Tran Dynasty, it was renamed Ngoc Son. During the Tran Dynasty, the temple was used to worship heroic martyrs who sacrificed their lives in the resistance war against the Mongols. A long time later, that temple collapsed. During the Vinh Huu period of the Le Dynasty (1735 - 1739), Lord Trinh Giang built Khanh Thuy palace and built two earthen mountains on the eastern bank opposite Ngoc Son called Dao Tai and Ngoc Boi mountains. At the end of the Le Dynasty, when the Trinh family was overthrown, Khanh Thuy Palace was partially destroyed by Le Chieu Thong. Today, after many years of history, the urbanized area of Hoan Kiem Lake has shrunk many times.

On the north side of the lake, a mound of land emerges about three or four meters wide, which is said to be the place of the fishing station in the late Le Dynasty. Previously, Mr. Tin Trai of Nhi Khe village had a Quan De temple there, so he expanded and renovated it Ngoc Son pagoda...". A few years later, the pagoda was given over to a charity association and converted into a temple to worship the Three Saints. This association removed the bell tower, rebuilt the main hall, the rows of rooms on both sides, placed the statue of Van Xuong De Quan to worship and changed the name to Ngoc Son temple. According to the article "Repairing Van Xuong Temple", "...Currently the new temple has been completed, in front of it is next to the water, Tran Ba communal house, meaning it is a pillar standing firmly amidst the wave of culture. left, east of The Huc bridge, built Dai Nghien. To the east on Doc Ton mountain, built Pen Tower, symbolizing literature..." In the eighteenth year of Tu Duc (1865), scholar Nguyen Van Sieu repaired the temple.

In the past, King Le Thanh Tong came here for the second time on patrol in the first month of the year Dinh Hoi, the 8th year of Quang Thuan (1467). He stationed troops to rest in this valley and gave his soldiers food to eat.

Three monks during the reign of King Le Thanh Tong (1442 - 1497) found Huong Tich cave and built Thien Tru hermitage. Since then, Huong Tich cave is called the inner pagoda, Thien Tru is called the outer pagoda, then people use the common name for the two places and the whole area as Huong pagoda or "Huong Thien Bao Sai".

After consulting, the army commanders united to attack the enemy's post. Immediately the troops headed straight to Fort Hoc Mon, where District Chief Bui Ngoc Tho resided. Two insurgents named Nghe and Kinh volunteered to enter the front gate and sacrificed their lives. Insurgents from all directions rushed into the Fort like water bursting its banks. Faced with the power of the insurgents and the masses, the soldiers in the Station no longer had the spirit to resist and fled in disarray. The insurgents completely occupied the inside of the station, but upstairs, the enemy still stubbornly used guns to shoot sporadically, at the same time calling Saigon and Thu Dau Mot for emergency help. Because he was eager to capture the name of Tho District, comrade Do Van Day climbed up to the upper floor of the Station by clinging to the gutter. Halfway up, he was hit by bullets, the comrade fell and died later. The battle was at a standstill when enemy reinforcements arrived. Unable to hold out, the insurgents withdrew from the town, dispersed to the villages, the armed forces withdrew to Ben Do hamlet (Tan Phu Trung) and then moved to My Hanh hamlet (Duc Hoa).
