Tranquility, Hoan Kiem Lake, Hanoi

A quiet spot in a big city.

It is the most famous city lake in Hanoi, Hoan Kiem Lake, and it offers peace too. Even if the rest of the area is bustling with activity in the evening.

The city lake of Hanoi are one of my favorites in Asia, particular in the evening when people are using it as a social arena. Both by locals and visitors. It is a place to meet, greet, eat and drink, and to read, quietly observe or seeking inner peace. The park and the lake is big enough even for rather peaceful activities.

The area around the lake is already used for morning classes and individuals doing Tai Chi.

And now meditating people is adding to their numbers mornings and evening.

The concept of meditating in public spots has been on the rise the later years, according to local media.

Hogan Kiem Lake is a must visit in the center of classic Hanoi, the capital of modern Viet Nam. Both day and evening.

Photo shows a man in white shirt sitting in meditation pose on the low wall surrounding Hoan Kiem city lake. In the background is the lake water disturbed by evening breeze, and in the background on the other side of the lake there are bokeh-typical shapes of colourful lights and buildings. The mans position is framed by low hanging green branches of trees on both sides. He sits on some sort of lightly coloured plastic mat, and his sneakers are placed neatly together to the right. It is a photo taken just after sunset, and the artificial light on the man is soft warm, while the background is a colder blue hue.

On the lid it say: "Brevene må ikke indeholde penge" = "The letters must not contain money", but that did not keep people from sending money in letters and because all mailmen was mailmen, there was rarely any problems
