Hanoi Capital
About Hanoi
Hanoi capital today appears in the history of the Vietnamese nation officially in 1010 (the autumn of July, Canh Tuat year) as Thang Long.
The founder of Thang Long, Ly Cong Uan (Ly Thai To), was also the founder of the glorious Ly dynasty in Vietnamese history. He was a politician, a scholar, a great culturalist.
Taking the first prestigious position as a King in Hoa Lu (Ninh Binh), seeing that this land was not favorable for the development of the upward trend, Ly Thai To decided to move the capital from Hoa Lu to Dai La. When the king's boat had just arrived at the river bank of the Nhi River (Red River), a golden dragon appeared, seeing a good sign, and King Ly changed Dai La's name to Thang Long (Rising Dragon) - now Hanoi.
