Hoan Kiem Lake...The red bridge is called Qixu Bridge

Hoan Kiem Lake is the most famous of the many large and small lakes in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. There are many ancient architectural monuments on the shore and in the water. It is the first scenic spot in Hanoi. According to legend, in 1418, Le Loi, the founder of the Le Dynasty, obtained a sword before the Lam Son Uprising and used it to defeat the enemy. Later, he met a golden turtle on the lake. The golden turtle asked for the return of the sword, and then the sword fell into the lake, so the name of the lake was changed to Hoan Kiem Lake. The lake is not big. Another lake in the city center: West Lake (last 2 pictures) A big stage has also been set up in the city center next to Hoan Kiem Lake.
