Summary of thesis results: After conducting research on Hoan Kiem Lake (also known as Sword Lake) and the surrounding area from the 11th century to the first 20 years of the 20th century, we draw the following conclusions: - Hoan Kiem Lake and its surrounding area have undergone changes in appearance throughout the history of the capital city, especially from the Le-Trinh period to the first 20 years of the 20th century. Even during the Ly-Tran dynasties, Hoan Kiem Lake left its mark on culture. During the Ly dynasty, a Buddhist center was formed around Hoan Kiem Lake with the construction of Bao Thien Pagoda and Tower. During the Tran dynasty, activities here took a military nature. Hoan Kiem Lake and its surrounding area truly became part of the urban structure of Thang Long - Hanoi during the Le-Trinh dynasty, along with the development of the "market" in the east and southeast of the capital. During the Nguyen dynasty, the Hoan Kiem Lake area became the cultural and educational center of Hanoi. In particular, Hoan Kiem Lake and its surrounding area gradually transformed into a truly Western-looking urban area with the planning of the French colonialists in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. - Hoan Kiem Lake plays a significant historical and cultural role in the thousand-year-old cultural heritage of Thang Long - Hanoi. Hoan Kiem Lake, along with the Ngoc Son Temple complex and the Turtle Tower, is one of the symbols of Hanoi. - It is necessary for each of us to cultivate an awareness of preserving, promoting, building, and enhancing Hoan Kiem Lake so that its historical and geographical significance is not lost in the context of the rapid urbanization of Hanoi today. 12. Practical applications: Used as reference material for research and teaching about the history and culture of Hanoi. This will help understand the immense value of Hoan Kiem Lake to Hanoi in particular and the whole country in general, increasing pride in a sacred and legendary historical space within a thousand-year-old capital city. 13.
