Hoan Kiem Lake is one of Hanoi's most popular walking spots. At present, the Hanoi pedestrian street around Hoan Kiem Lake has been gradually becoming one of the capital's tourist attractions, a place for people to go out, play, and slow down between the roads. A variety of cultural, tourism, and service activities are taking along the streets to meet demand for recreation. Those include photo exhibitions, dragon dancing, performances of traditional musical instruments, traditional singing, and calligraphy writing. The major tourist attraction upon the lake is the small island (reached by a red bridge) that holds Ngoc Son Temple. The sacred temple, along with other architectures, create a historical complex that has been the pride of Hanoian for hundreds of years.
