Lonely Planet review

This island-temple, towards the northern end of Hoan Kiem Lake, is worth a detour - it can be reached via a picturesque footbridge. Inside, look for the preserved remains of a giant turtle, measuring 2.1m, that was captured in the lake. The temple was founded in the 14th century, although its buildings date from the 18th.
