There is another legend about the origin of the name of Fu Jian Lake: It is said that in 14 18, Li Li, the ancestor of the Lee Dynasty, a Vietnamese national hero, fished out a sword engraved with the word "Shun Tian" in the lake before launching the Blue Mountain uprising against the Ming Dynasty. /kloc-When Li Li, who became emperor 0/0 years later, swam to Shuijun Lake by boat, he suddenly saw a scarab surface and swam to the boat. Li Li ordered the water to look for the sword, but there were no swords and turtles in the water. People say that this is the back of the beetle's sword, so the name of this lake was changed to repair the sword lake.

Historical site of Ho Chi Minh Presidential Palace

Ho Chi Minh's former residence is located in the President's Office next to Bating Square. The main building of the president's office is a French villa built by Germans, which is quite luxurious, but if you think this is the former residence of Ho Chi Minh, it is a big mistake. Ho Chi Minh's life is extremely simple. In fact, Ho Chi Minh has been living in the electrician dormitory next to the villa. "I am a humble room, but I am virtuous and sincere." Ho Chi Minh's life is the interpretation of the modern and Vietnamese versions of My Humble Room. The garden of the former residence is quiet and elegant, and interesting and rare bodhisattva trees are planted. The roots of these trees will grow upwards to form a natural statue.

West Lake

West Lake

With an area of over 500 hectares, it is the largest lake in Hanoi, located in the northwest of the city. As early as the capital of the Li Dynasty was promoted to Dragon (now Hanoi), the West Lake had already become a scenic spot in Beijing. Since Li and Chen, many temples and palaces have been built around the West Lake, and there are still Zhenguo Temple, Zhenwuguan Temple and Jinlian Temple. There are thirteen villas, Shengli Hotel and other modern large hotels near the West Lake, which are good places for tourists to spend the summer, stay and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the West Lake.

There are many legends about the West Lake, one of which is this: In ancient times, two fairies went down to earth privately, but they dared not stay on earth for a long time, for fear of violating heaven. When they returned to the sky, they each left a toilet mirror from the cloud as a souvenir. The two mirrors landed in Hangzhou, China and Hanoi, Vietnam, respectively, and became two beautiful "West Lakes".

Duzhusi

Duzhu Temple is one of the unique historical sites in Vietnam. It is located in the southwest of Bating Square in Hanoi. It is named after a big stone column built in the spirit powder pool.
