West Lake is the largest freshwater lake in inner Hanoi, with a shoreline of about seventeen kilometres, and it has long been woven into the cultural life of the capital. Its banks are lined with ancient temples and pagodas, flower villages and peach gardens, along with many cafes, restaurants and hotels facing the water. It is an ideal place to cycle, walk, paddle a swan boat and watch the sunset, and it is especially lively at weekends and on cool afternoons.
