Hanoi, Vietnam - Hoan Kiem Lake 💖 Pearl of Hanoi, Vietnam 💖🌈 Baozi, today I want to share with you the super beautiful Hoan Kiem Lake Park in Hanoi, Vietnam 😜! 🌳 Hoan Kiem Lake Park is located in the center of Hanoi, is a pearl of the city. Its lake is oval, narrow and long from north to south, about 12 hectares, the lake is clear like a mirror, the surrounding trees are green and shaded like cover. When you stroll around the lake, the breeze blows, the feeling of cozy is really in words to describe 😍. 🌟 There is a mysterious and moving legend here. It is rumored that the founder of the Vietnamese dynasty, Li Li, received an ancient sword in the lake, and later returned it to the turtle in the lake, so the name of the lake was changed to Hoan Kiem Lake. This legend adds a mysterious color to Hoan Kiem Lake, and it has become one of the symbols of Vietnam&#39;s history and culture.

Live Show

Chin Chun Hsiao

My two 6-year-old children and I loved watching the performance. Especially knowing that it was performed on an open-water stage with a cast of nearly 200 actors, I knew I had to bring my children to experience it! The performance&#39;s music and atmosphere were moving, taking the audience back to the traditional past of Northern Vietnam and allowing them to feel the diligence, spirit, and faith of the Northern Vietnamese people.Several times during the show, I got goosebumps (meaning it was very touching), and at the end, the actors even invited the audience to join in a bamboo dance game, which was very fun and lively.You can buy food and drinks before the show, but we chose to take a Grab from Hanoi. Please be aware of Hanoi&#39;s rush hour traffic, as the estimated travel time is 50 minutes! It&#39;s recommended to leave early. Getting a Grab after the show is also very convenient.Despite the long journey, I believe this is a must-see show in Northern Vietnam.
