This lake is The Lake in Hanoi. It is not as large as the West Lake, but surely this one is the heart of the city. From it radiates everything. Ngoc Son Temple is located in Hoan Kiem Lake. It is a favorite tourist spot. For 10,000 VND you are able to enter. Children are free. This temple has a mummified giant turtle, a pivotal character in a legend. I will not tell you about that story here as it may spoil your visit.
The temple is located in an island in the lake, and can be reached only via a bridge (see below). Of course you can also swim if you like. From this bridge you will have a good look of the turtle temple in another small island at the southern end of the lake. That structure there has its own story. Again, no spoilers.
