Overview :
Hanoi Sunrise Enjoy a morning walk to Hoan Kiem Lake (Lake of the Restored Sword) to experience early morning Hanoi. Legend has it that in the mid 15th century, the gods provided the Emperor Le Thai To a magical sword to defeat the Ming dynasty Chinese invaders.

It is then time to relax and feast on your Vietnamese culinary creations.

Legend has it that in the mid 15th century the gods provided the Emperor Le Thai To a magical sword to defeat the Ming dynasty Chinese invaders.

Today the lake is a gathering place for the residence of Hanoi doing their morning exercise.
