Close your eyes, I will take you back in time, 6 centuries ago when Vietnam society was controlled by feudalism and at that time, fighting against Chinese invaders. Sword Lake used to be called Green Watered Lake since the water of the late is green all year round. A fisherman found the same blade which was incribed "the will of heaven " 3 times when fishing on the river. The blade was the as fit as gloves of the hilt found by Lê Lợi himself. Together they made a magic sword which gave Le Loi greatest strength to defeat the enermy, announcing Vietnam's independence. Once when Le Loi was boating on the river, appeared a turtle, the representative of Dragon King who had lent Le Loi the magic sword. The turtle took the sword an submerged to the water. Stemming from this event, Le Loi renamed the lake, called it The lake of returned sword or Sword Lake.
