City life and landscape in Ha Noi

The lake I mentioned earlier

Several trees along the lake grow out sideways like this with roots exposed. BEAUTIFUL!


At the northern end of the lake where several streets meet and traffic is wild!


A bridge at the lake that takes you to the middle where you can learn more about the history of Ha Noi and the story of the golden turtle. It is believed that a giant tortoise still lives in the lake today.


Is this freakin awesome or what??? The vegetation here is just amazing!
