The juxtaposition of two lakes across one road makes this an unusually clear place to compare Hanoi's waterscapes. Truc Bach feels contained, while West Lake opens into a much broader horizon. Use the contrast to choose how much of the northern lake district you want to explore on foot.
What to look for
The small lake sits beside West Lake across Thanh Nien Road.
The waterside path gives clear views toward the larger lake.
Useful to know
