Hoan Kiem Lake, located in the heart of Hanoi, is one of the city’s most renowned scenic spots. The lake is intimately tied to the legend of Emperor Le Loi returning the magical sword to the Turtle God after driving out the Ming invaders, thus earning its name, Hoan Kiem Lake (Lake of the Returned Sword)
Among the plethora of attractions are the Hoan Kiem Lake – Ngoc Son Temple – Ba Kieu Temple complex, Hanoi Opera House, August Revolution Square, St. Joseph’s Cathedral, Vietnam History Museum, Vietnam Revolution Museum, Ly Thai To Statue, Hanoi Post Office, and Dong Xuan Market.
The unique blend of traditional Vietnamese structures and French-inspired architecture creates an irresistible allure for visitors. These invaluable sites are currently the focus of meticulous conservation and promotional efforts.
