A lake for evryone

Hoan Kiem is the heart of the tourist area in Hanoi. It's a beautiful lake with activity around it's perimeter. There is so much that can be seen here from couples to street vendors to kids and local families. A part of the lake accompanies a street that gets shut down on weekends for activities. A stroll past the whole lake will fill you with so many ideas about food, art and culture. A stay nearer to the lake allows you constant interaction with this gem. A lotmof shows and activities happens at the circle located near the lake. #hoankim #vietnam #hanoi #insta #beautiful #vietnamtrip
