Ancient City with many lakes and rivers

Hoàn Kiếm Lake is famous for the legend of Emperor Lê Lợi and his magical sword. After using the sword to defeat invaders, a giant golden turtle emerged from the lake and took the sword back to the gods. This gave the lake its name, “Lake of the Returned Sword.” The Turtle Tower in the lake commemorates this story. #urbansketch #UrbanSketching #hanoi Hanoi
