DESKTOP 896 - HUC BRIDGE HANOI
The Huc Bridge on Sword Lake ("Hồ Hoàn Kiếm"), one of the major scenic spots in Hanoi, Vietnam, serving as a focal point for its public life. The Huc Bridge (meaning Morning Sunlight Bridge) leads to Jade Island on which the Ngoc Son Temple (Jade Mountain Temple) stands. The temple was erected in the 18th century. It honours the 13-century military leader Tran Hung Dao who distinguished himself in the fight against the Yuan Dynasty, Van Xuong, a scholar, and Nguyen Van Sieu, a Confucian master and famous writer in charge of repairs made to the temple in 1864. A lovely park surrounds the lake.

Jade Island is the perfect name as the lush green abounds even as a reflection in the lake ...and,an interesting history to go with it. I am going to Thailand next month and look forward to learning about their culture as well. Thank you for sharing, Nick ...
