I love Hoan Kiem Lake! I've been there three times, and each time it's been a really great experience. The lake itself is gorgeous, and the surrounding area is full of amazing food, shopping and nature. I would definitely recommend taking a boat tour around the lake. It will give you an entirely different perspective on this beautiful place.

@1988tq You are right. It is a beautiful place for pictures. My parents actually went there for their honeymoon since it was close to an area where some family live. The pictures they got are beautiful.

That's awesome to hear! Every visit must be like a new adventure. Have you tried renting a swan boat? It's a peaceful way to see the lake from a different perspective. It's not just about the hustle and bustle around the lake, right?
