Hoan Kiem Lake (Eng. Lake of the Returned Sword or Lake of the Restored Sword) is a lake in the historical center of Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam. The lake is one of the major scenic spots in the city and serves as a focal point for its public life.

According to the legend, emperor Le Loi handed a magic sword which brought him victory in his revolt against the Chinese Ming Dynasty back to the Golden Turtle God (Kim Qui) in the lake and hence gave it its present name (the lake was formerly known as Luc Thuy, meaning Green Water). The Tortoise Tower (that is in this photo) standing on a small island near the center of lake is linked to the legend.

Large soft-shell turtles, either of the species Rafetus swinhoei or a separate species named Rafetus leloii in honor of the emperor, have been sighted in the lake. The species is critically endangered and the number of individuals in the lake is unclear. Look in the left corner on the island. On the last day before leaving Vietnam we spotted a turtle. What a stir that caused among the local people. It is supposed to bring good luck to see one of these turtles.
