Hồ Thiền Quang

Thien Quang Lake, also known as 'Halais Lake', is a peaceful body of water surrounded by four streets: Nguyen Du, Tran Binh Trong, Tran Nhan Tong, and Quang Trung. It is a favorite spot for locals to exercise, play chess, or simply relax under the shade of ancient trees. The lake is particularly beautiful in the evening when the surrounding lights reflect on the calm water. It is less touristy than Hoan Kiem Lake, offering a more authentic 'Hanoi local' vibe. Nearby, you can find several small pagodas like Thien Quang and Quang Hoa. It's a perfect place for a quiet stroll after visiting the nearby Thong Nhat Park. It is best for those looking for a quiet moment in the city center.
