These steles are etched with the names of laureates, or as the ancient Vietnamese called them, Tr\u1ea1ng Nguy\u00ean, B\u1ea3ng Nh\u00e3n, v\u00e0 Th\u00e1m Hoa. Simply put, they are the top three achievers in the imperial examinations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don&#8217;t miss the Khu\u00ea V\u0103n C\u00e1c, one of Hanoi&#8217;s iconic landmarks.

Meanwhile, the picturesque Ngoc Son Temple stands on a small island, connected to the shore by the brilliant red Th\u00ea H\u00fac Bridge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lake is beautiful itself, but what really sets this lake apart is the legendary tale behind it. According to the story, after driving out the Ming invaders (a feudal dynasty of Chinese) from the country, King Le Loi was boating on the lake when a golden turtle suddenly appeared. The turtle demanded the return of the magical sword that the Dragon King had given the king to defeat the enemies. This is why the lake earned its name &#8220;Hoan Kiem,&#8221; meaning &#8220;Return the Sword.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hanoi_Old_Quarter\"><\/span><b>Hanoi Old Quarter<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the heart of Vietnam&#8217;s bustling capital lies a maze of narrow, ancient streets known as the &#8220;36 Pho Phuong&#8221;, meaning 36 old streets. Originally, each of these streets specialized in a particular trade or craft.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And each guild-owned street was named after the commodity it was known for.
