Ba Dinh

Ba Dinh is a historic square in Hanoi, Vietnam, best known as the location where President Ho Chi Minh read the Declaration of Independence on September 2, 1945, establishing the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. Today, it is a major landmark housing the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and remains a site of great national and political significance.

Hoan Kiem

Hoan Kiem Lake, meaning «Lake of the Returned Sword,» is a freshwater lake and a cultural landmark in the heart of Hanoi, Vietnam. Its name originates from a 15th-century legend in which the Emperor Le Loi was given a magical sword by a divine turtle to defeat invaders, which he later returned to the turtle in this lake. Today, the lake is a peaceful public space, famous for its iconic Turtle Tower and the Ngoc Son Temple located on its shore.

Tay Ho

Tay Ho (West Lake) is a prominent freshwater lake and recreational area in the center of Hanoi, Vietnam. Historically, it was formed from a bend in the Red River and is surrounded by ancient villages, with many legends tracing its origins back over a thousand years. Today, it is a popular destination known for its scenic beauty, upscale neighborhoods, and numerous temples and pagodas along its shores.

Long Bien

Long Bien is a historic bridge in Hanoi, Vietnam, originally constructed by the French colonial administration between 1899 and 1902. It was a vital strategic transport link during the Vietnam War and, despite being heavily bombed, remains a symbol of Hanoi’s resilience and a popular spot for visitors.

Dong Da

Dong Da is a district in Hanoi, Vietnam, historically significant as the site of the 1789 Battle of Ngọc Hồi — Đống Đa.

Today, the area is commemorated by the Dong Da Mound, a cultural heritage site and park.

Thanh Xuan

«Thanh Xuan» is a modern urban district of Hanoi, Vietnam, whose name translates to «Green Spring.» Unlike the city’s ancient quarters, its history is recent, having been established in the late 20th century as part of Hanoi’s major expansion to accommodate its growing population and urbanization.

Kim Ma

I am unable to provide a summary for «Kim Ma» as it is not a widely recognized cultural site or place with a documented history in available sources. It may refer to a local street or area, but there is insufficient information to provide a meaningful historical summary.

Tran Phu

Tran Phu is a major and historically significant street in Hanoi, Vietnam, running through the heart of the city’s Old Quarter. It is named after the 13th-century Vietnamese general and national hero, Trần Hưng Đạo, who is revered for leading the resistance against Mongol invasions.
