Thang Long Imperial Citadel - a place that preserves the identity and memories of thousands of years of Vietnamese history.

Over time, the majestic citadels and purple pavilions have receded into the past. But this place is still a legendary witness of history, telling the next generation the story of ancient Thang Long - a capital that has constantly changed through the ages, and also about the Vietnamese people's persistent spirit of building and defending the country. In 2009, the central area of ​​Thang Long Imperial Citadel - Hanoi was ranked as a special national monument and was listed by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage in 2010.

Bridging the past, present and future

The book Dai Viet Su Ky Toan Thu recorded: "In the autumn of the seventh month of the year Canh Tuat (1010), the king moved the capital from Hoa Lu to Dai La. The boat temporarily stopped under the citadel, a golden dragon appeared on the royal boat, so it was renamed Thang Long citadel". It can be seen that King Ly Cong Uan and his mandarins traveled by boat along the waterway and left at the end of summer. The route is said to have started from going up the Day River to Phu Ly, turning into the Chau Giang River, then going to other rivers to return to Thang Long.
