Hoan Kiem Lake (in Nôm: 湖 還 劍 or 還 劍 湖) is also known as Ho Guom Lake (in the Hanoi map of 1886, this lake is called Hoan Kiem Lake - Lac de Hoan Guom), is a freshwater lake. Naturally located in the center of Hanoi city. The lake has an area of about 12 ha [2]. In the past, the lake was also known as Luc Thuy lake (because the water is green all year round), Thuy Quan lake (used to browse marines), Ta Vong and Huu Vong lakes (in the Le Mam period). The name of Hoan Kiem appeared in the early 15th century associated with the legend of King Le Loi returning a precious sword to the Turtle. According to legend, one time when King Le Loi roamed on a boat, suddenly a golden turtle rose to the surface of the water and asked the king to return the sword that Long Vuong lent to repel the invading Ming army. The king then returned the sword to the tortoise and the diving turtle disappeared. From there the lake was named Hoan Kiem Lake. The name of the lake was also given to a central district of Hanoi (Hoan Kiem district) and is the only lake of this district to this day.
