Tourism Indochina: Jennifer Hawkins Visited Vietnam

Dec. 27, 2011 - PRLog -- Tourism Indochina: Jennifer Hawkins Visited Vietnam:
(Tourism Indochina:Date : 2006-12-01): Jennifer Hawkins on December 1 arrived in Vietnam at the invitation of the Australian national television station, Seven Network. The universe?s most beautiful girl spent Saturday all day filming at Hoan Kiem Lake. Jennifer Hawkins looked like a travelling western backpacker, quite unlike how she did when she walked on the catwalk. Vietnamese people, who were at Hoan Kiem Lake on Saturday, did not realise that they saw Miss Universe. Meanwhile, many foreigners asked to take pictures with the beauty. It is cold in Hanoi these days. The temperature is hovering at 16oC. However, Jennifer appeared on Hanoi?s streets in T-shirts and shorts. She dropped into a fashion shop on Hang Dao street in the centre of Hanoi to buy an overcoats for children, and she was very pleased with what she bought. She did not hesitate to stay in the crowd to buy a stamp for a souvenir. Always smiling, waving hello, Miss Universe proved to be very friendly. This is the first time Jennifer has been to Vietnam, but she said she liked Vietnamese cuisine very much. There is only one thing she does not like in Vietnam: the bad traffic. The beautiful girl dares not cross the road if nobody helps her. Acting as the collaborator of the television shows on Seven Network, specialising in tourism, Jennifer will go to many other sites in Vietnam and Thailand. Her work in Thailand has been finished. In the next few days the beauty will go to Hue, Da Nang, Mui Ne.  (Source: VNE)

Hoan Kiem Lake (Vietnamese: Hồ Hoàn Kiếm, meaning "Lake of the Returned Sword" or "Lake of the Restored Sword", also known as Hồ Gươm - Sword Lake) is a lake in the historical center of Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam. The lake is one of the major scenic spots in the city and serves as a focal point for its public life. According to the legend, emperor Lê Lợi handed a magic sword called Heaven's Will which brought him victory in his revolt against the Chinese Ming Dynasty back to the Golden Turtle God (Kim Qui) in the lake and hence gave it its present name (the lake was formerly known as Luc Thuy meaning "Green Water"). The Turtle Tower (Thap Rùa) standing on a small island near the centre of lake is linked to the legend. Large soft-shell turtles, either of the species Rafetus swinhoei or a separate species named Rafetus leloii in honor of the emperor, have been sighted in the lake. The species is critically endangered and the number of individuals in the lake is unclear.

Near the northern shore of the lake lies Jade Island on which the Temple of the Jade Mountain (Ngoc Son Temple) stands. The temple was erected in the 18th century. It honors the 13-century military leader Tran Hung Dao who distinguished himself in the fight against the Yuan Dynasty, Van Xuong, a scholar, and Nguyen Van Sieu, a Confucian master and famous writer in charge of repairs made to the temple in 1864. Jade Island is connected to the shore by the wooden red-painted The Huc Bridge (The Huc, meaning Morning Sunlight Bridge).
