[Hồ Con Rùa vs Hồ Cụ Rùa] [Turtle Lake in Ho Chi Minh City vs Lake of the Great Turtle in Hanoi] Turtle Lake (Hồ Con Rùa) is a prominent landmark in Ho Chi Minh City, nestled between District 1 and District 3—(but unfortunately, not in District 2). Similar to Hoàn Kiếm Lake (Lake of the Returned Sword or the Lake of the Great Turtle) in Hanoi, Hồ Con Rùa holds a special place in the hearts of city dwellers. It's a great gathering spot where: * Locals often share memorable moments, enjoying the legendary Trà Tắc (kumquat tea) while catching up with friends. * Tourists regard it as one of the best places to experience Café Bệt, a beloved Saigon tradition of enjoying coffee while sitting on the ground. * Some come here almost every night for a free dating site with their crushes and many years later come back as a married couple. * Some come to taste iconic Saigon street foods such as Bánh Tráng Trộn (mixed rice paper salad), Bắp Xào Bơ (stir-fried corn with butter), or Cút Lộn Xào Me (stir-fried baby quail eggs with tamarind sauce)… * And SO MANY visit to see “the Turtle”, then end up seeing nothing… P/S: There has never been a LIVE turtle in the lake. Before 1976, a large steel turtle statue stood at the center of the lake, but it was destroyed in an explosion that year. This is why locals commonly call it Turtle Lake, even though its official name is “Công Trường Quốc Tế” (‘International Square’ ).
