discover the pearl of South-East
Asia: Hanoi. With charming
streets lined with dozens of old
trees, beautiful lakes, colonial
architecture and countless
interesting monuments, this city
will impress you with its lively
characteristics. We begin our
city-trip at the Restored Sword
Lake, famous for the legend of
the tortoise and the sword of
15th century. After the
bombardment of this lake by the
Americans in 1968, the huge
turtle was killed and the little
pagoda in the water is the final
resting place of this legendary
animal. |
