Turtle Tower, Hoan Kiem Lake at night, Hanoi, Vietnam
2010 Hanoi, Vietnam
The Turtle Tower stands on a small islet in Hoan Kiem Lake in central Hanoi, Vietnam, seen here at night in a 2010 photograph. The tower is linked to the legend of Emperor Le Loi returning a magic sword to a golden turtle god said to live in the lake.
