Hanoi Flagpole - a historical symbol of the capital city.

The Hanoi Flagpole, over 200 years old, is a particularly significant historical structure and the most magnificent in the Thang Long Imperial Citadel complex.

More than just a symbol of the capital, the flagpole is also a testament to a glorious period of resistance against the French, a testament to the unwavering resilience of generations of Hanoians.

In 1945, after the success of the August Revolution, the red flag with a yellow star was hoisted on the Hanoi Flagpole for the first time. Therefore, when the Democratic Republic of Vietnam was established, the image of the Hanoi Flagpole was prominently displayed on the first banknotes issued by the State Bank of Vietnam .
