Hoan Kiem Lake in the old heart of Hanoi has to be one of the most romantic spots I've ever been to. As luck would have it a long public holiday celebrating Uncle Ho was looming and so there were colorful lanterns all around the perimeter of the lake. A couple of weeks later I found out that this is not always the case - most of the time you only get boring white lights around the lake.

It's no wonder that local couples flock here to sit on the edge of the lake among the willows and lanterns - escaping the motorcycle madness, hustle and bustle of the surrounding streets.

| And lonely old men. |
ProTip: You can see the
colorful lanterns surrounding the lake in early August.
