Circa 1900, the image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the tranquil scene before the rapid modernization of the city. The lake, a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, is named for the legendary tale of a sacred turtle that helped Emperor Le Loi defeat Chinese invaders. In this photograph, we see the lake's calm waters reflecting the surrounding trees and traditional Vietnamese architecture. The image also reveals the presence of small boats and people going about their daily activities, adding to the scene's authenticity. The photograph's historical significance lies in its ability to transport us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the rich cultural heritage of Hanoi and Vietnam during a pivotal period in their history. This image is an invaluable resource for historians, researchers, and anyone with an interest in Asian history and culture.
