🎧  Listen to Introduction

The Imperial Citadel of Thang Long was built in the 11th century by the Ly Viet Dynasty to mark the independence of Dai Viet. It was built on the site of a 7th century Chinese fortress on reclaimed land in the Red River delta near Hanoi. It was the regional centre of political power for 13 consecutive centuries. The remains of the Imperial Citadel architecture and the 18th Hoang Dieu archaeological site reflect the Southeast Asian culture that is unique to the lower Red River valley. The influences of China to the north and the ancient Champa Kingdom to the south meet here.
