Not so long ago Ho Tay, or West Lake, was surrounded by a cluster of temples and quiet fishing villages. Today it’s a sleek and luxurious suburb of Hanoi.
See a stuffed turtle, take photographs of traditional Vietnamese architecture or enjoy a moment of quiet reflection in the tranquil surroundings of this temple.
Wander around the banks of this peaceful lake and discover an historic temple, observe locals going about their daily life or enjoy a picnic lunch under the shade.
