Hồ B52

B-52 Lake, also known as Huu Tiep Lake, is a small lake in Hanoi, Vietnam, where the wreckage of a B-52 bomber that was shot down during the Vietnam War still remains submerged. The lake is a poignant reminder of the fierce air raids of 1972, particularly Operation Linebacker II. The lake and its wreckage have become a symbol of Vietnamese resilience and a testament to the country's successful defense against the American bombing campaign. When my friends and I visited this B-52 Lake on a good weather, it looked absolutely majestic and magical (see my attached photos). Recommended to visit if you're in Hanoi!

Cool historical spot. I enjoyed talking with the local youth fishing in the lake,watched them catch a few fish,some kept for food,some released. Actually goldfish and koi caught were released.

A very unique and special relic to witness. Quite mesmerising how it is simply left how it lay when shot down in the 1970s. Worth reading up, little information once there. Type in “ho b52” into Google Maps to find it and walk through the backstreets to find a secluded area.

A quick must see. So interesting. We got a grab bike to look at it. So fascinating that it is still is such good shape.

Lovely little area, great way to experience local life and see a little bit of history along the way. Type in ‘Ho B52’ to google maps to make sure it takes you to the right location.

Great hidden away spot with a poignant reminder of the war. The narrow streets, friendly locals and little cafes are all lovely too

Worth visiting if you were around in the early 70’s a lasting memorial to all those lost in the Vietnam war.

A place to remind people about the destructive nature of the war, and the resistance of the brave people to save their motherland.
