Ngoc Son Temple on Hoan Kiem Lake; situated in the heart of Hanoi; is one of the tourist attractions of the city. Legend has it that the King Le Loi (1385-1442) was boating on the lake when a Golden Turtle God appeared and asked for the return of a magic sword, named Heaven’s Will, that the Dragon King had presented to him earlier to aid his revolt against the Chinese Ming Dynasty. The King later renamed the lake as Hoan Kiem (returned sword) to commemorate the event.

Phu Dong Temple in Gia Lam district first built by King Hung Vuong VI, then rebuilt in the 11th century by King Ly Thai To after he moved the capital city from Hoa Lu – Ninh Binh to Thang Long (present-day Hanoi). It is dedicated to a Vietnamese national saint, Thanh Giong, who defeated Chinese;invaders before returning to heaven after the country was liberate.
