Hoan Kiem Lake is located in the middle of Hanoi. Its name means "The Lake of the Restored Sword". The name was given due to a 15th-century legend in which Le Loi, who fought for the Vietnamese against Ming China, received his sword from a magic turtle living in the lake. The nobleman defeated the Ming and returned home in victory. One day, the emperor was boating in the lake when the turtle surfaced demanding the sword's return. In memory of this event, the emperor built the Tortoise Tower on an island at the south end of the lake. Enormous turtles still live in the lake.

Mai Chau is not a town but rather a collection of villages. The people are very friendly and they will offer food & accomodation for a few dollars in their typical houses on stilts. Here are the most beautiful rice fields I have ever seen. The locals are kind to show you how to work on the paddy.

There is food cooking at every corner of Hanoi. And it is quite delicious, especially the warm bread buns they are selling in the morning. I didn't try this pancakes, but they smelled great.

Tradition says that it was first constructed in 1049. Legend has it that King Ly Thai To dreamed of the goddess Quan Am sitting on a lotus leaf and offering him a son. Struck by the dream, the Emperor married a peasant girl who soon provided him with a male heir. In gratitude, the king built this pagoda to honor the goddess. Some have said that the pagoda resembles a lotus climbing out of the water. The pagoda was destroyed a number of times over the centuries, most recently in 1954 during the French Colonial retreat, but was reconstructed in its present form in 1955 with a concrete pillar.
