Ngoc Son Temple

Hanoi Top 28 in Can't Miss Attractions

This temple is on an island in the middle of Hoan Kiem Lake. It's a nice spot to relax but you can also find the embalmed remains of a gigantic turtle, who was fished out of the lake in 2011. The temple dates back to the 18th century and is pretty small, but again a nice place to visit.

Its a nice place

Marooned in the middle of Hoan Kiem Lake is this unassuming quiet temple. It's none of the most visited temples in the whole of Vietnam, so expect to be fighting for elbow room a little. However, if you're lucky and the crowds aren't there, it's a great place to sit and reflect on life for a while. It's also a place which locals come to give offerings to the gods including burning fake money. The temple is connected to the mainland by an attractive bridge which is worth an instagram shot for sure.

Pretty and worth roaming around mainly to get off the busy streets
