HOAN KIEM LAKE

Legend has it that in the 15th Century, King Le Loi found a sword which he used to defend the country against the Chinese Mind’s domination. After the enemy retreated, Le Loi returned to the Thang Long Citadel. One day, when he was sailing on Green Water Lake, a golden turtle appeared from the water. The King pointed the sword at the turtle which then held it in its mouth and disappeared into the depth of the lake. King Le Loi derived that the sword was given to him by the Heaven for the sole purpose of fighting the enemy, and now that this mission has been accomplished and peace is restored, the sword is returned to its divine owners, the Heaven. The King then named the lake Hoan Kiem. Viet Vison Travel provides the best Vietnam Travel Deals.
