Early morning Activities at Hoan Kiem Lake – Hanoi, Vietnam / A Walk around Hoan Kiem Lake
Early morning activities at Hoan Kiem Lake in Hanoi, Vietnam
I was so surprised to immediately see people standing on the sidewalk, doing some work out, stretching and doing some kind of Tai Chi. I even heard some music and when I walked there I saw many people dancing. It was real nice to see those early morning activities at Hoan Kiem Lake.

Early morning activities at Hoan Kiem Lake
A Walk Around Hoan Kiem Lake – Hanoi
I saw birds hanging in the trees, people brought them with them! There were a lot of birdboxes hanging in the trees like this. You see that more in Asian countries where people have birds and take them everywhere…take them out in the streets for the day and in the evening back home 🙂
When I walked on to see more of the lake and its surrounding I stumbled upon this statue. The statue of Ly Thai To.

I saw it in a street near Hoan Kiem Lake. Just walk around and go several streets and come back to the serenity of the lake again. At this parc / statue there was probably some festivity the day before because there were a lots of flowers at the foot of the statue.
Walking on I came to the other side of the Hoan Kiem Lake and saw again lots of people working out. In the centre of Hoan Kiem lake you’ve got Turtle Tower (Tháp Rùa) I believe there is nothing in there anymore but it used to be the fishing site of the former king Le Thanh Tong.
Nice place for that activity ofcourse!!
You see the Turtle Tower behind me?
Walking on I finally saw what I was hoping to see. A man working on his Tai Chi!! This is the image I imagened when I went here. And there it was!! I sat down for a while and watched his slow Tai Chi form. I loved every move he made. It was contolled and it seemed so peaceful. He wasn’t looking up and I don’t know if he knew that I wasn’t the only one looking…
He was doing great!! Don’t you think?

Being the happiest person on this world?
