This is located on this small island, which can be reached through the red bridge. It also contains a small exhibition on the giant turtle that once lived in this lake

A small temple complex worth seeing with the surrounding lake "of the returned sword".

Hoan Kiem Lake is the heart of the city, surrounded by roaring traffic.

At least in the early morning, before hordes of tourists besiege the banks and stream over the The Huc Bridge to the Jade Mountain Temple. The temple stands on a small island and was built in 1875. It is dedicated to Van Xuong, the patron god of the literati.

In the early morning, you will mainly find locals at Hoan Klem Lake, jogging here before work or doing Tai Chi exercises.

In 2016, the lake attracted worldwide attention when a dead Yangze giant softshell turtle, threatened with extinction, was found in the water. At the time, it was one of four living specimens of its species in the world.

Very nice temple on an island, with an attractive bridge - especially at night when everything is beautifully lit.
