Queen of Heart Hotel Hanoi
General Description
The reason the Queen Of Heart Hotel is called such is because of the
similarity in the Arthurian Legend of the lady in the lake and the story of
Hoan Kiem lake. There are differences of course, and vive la difference,
but both are romantic legends that are worth pondering over whilst enjoying
a coffee in one of the lakeside coffee bars. Near to the hotel is the Hoan
Kiem Lake (Vietnamese: H Hoan Kim, meaning Lake of the Returned Sword or
Lake of the Restored Sword, also known as H Gm - Sword Lake) is a lake in
the historical center of Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam. The lake is
one of the major scenic spots in the city and serves as a focal point for
its public life. In the morning you can witness people practicing a version
of tai chi but using a kind of sword in reference to the legend. According
to the legend, emperor Le Loi handed a magic sword called Heaven's Will
which brought him victory in his revolt against the Chinese Ming Dynasty
back to the Golden Turtle God (Kim Qui) in the lake and hence gave it its
present name (the lake was formerly known as Luc Thuy meaning Green Water).
The Tortoise Tower (Thap Rua) standing on a small island near the center of
lake is linked to the legend. Large soft-shell turtles, either of the
species Rafetus swinhoei or a separate species named Rafetus leloii in
honor of the emperor, have been sighted in the lake. The species is
critically endangered and the number of individuals in the lake is unclear.
The Huc BridgeNear the northern shore of the lake lies Jade Island on which
the Ngoc Son Temple (Jade Mountain Temple) stands. The temple was erected
in the 18th century. It honors 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. Jade Island is connected to
the shore by the wooden red-painted Huc Bridge (The Huc, meaning Morning
Sunlight Bridge).
