Hanoi's Turtle Lake




Here is a sculpture of the turtle who saved the people of Vietnam.

Many years ago Hanoi's king was under seige by China. He went to the Lake and a turtle provided him with a magical sword with which he saved the city. After victory he returned to the lake and gave the sword back to the turtle.

We walked right to the edge of the lake. It was very green.
