Sword Lake in fog

When the last leaves of autumn fall; when the thin mist of early morning fly on the Hoan Kiem (Sword) Lake; it is the time Hanoi enters winter.

 

 

For Hanoians, Hoan Kiem Lake has its own beauty every season. In the winter, when thick fog remains until 7-8am, there are pictures of poetic Hoan Kiem Lake. In the mist, the bright red of The Huc Bridge, the green of the lake water even looks more striking. The Huc Bridge and Ngoc Son Temple reflect in the water.  The Huc Bridge takes visitors to the Ngoc Son Temple. Far away on the other side of the lake is the Hanoi Post Office with the big clock on its top. In the early winter, leaves begin falling from the trees around the lake. The scene is somewhat mysterious as fog is still thick. Some red leaves of mangobarks and bang lang still remain. After a stroll around the lake, sitting on a rock bench with friends to admire the lake is a moment of true peace. There are many evergreen trees are grown here, making Ho Guom a green lung of the city. The alone moment at the lakeside helps you to be more reflective about life.

When frost gradually thaws, you can see clearer landscape on the other side.
