When in Vietnam

in #travel7 years ago

I am in the infamous Hoan Kiem lake in Hanoi, Vietnam. The red thing behind me is the Hoan Kiem bridge. It is believed that this lake is where the emperor surrendered the sword to a giant turtle and disappeared into the depths of the lake to restore the sword to its divine owners. Legend says that the sword was a gift from the divinity to the emperor and it was used in the revolt against China. (I don't know if I got the story right.😁)
