Lung Cu flagpole is located on top of Dragon Mountain (Long Son).

According to Vietnam News Agency , this construction dates back to the Ly Dynasty, when Grand Marshal Ly Thuong Kiet marched to defend the border and planted a flag to assert sovereignty on top of Dragon Mountain.

During the Tay Son period, King Quang Trung ordered the establishment of guard posts and set up bronze drums to beat every watch as an affirmation that heaven and earth were guarded.

In 1887, the French colonialists and the Qing Dynasty plotted to cut off Lung Cu land, but before the resilient spirit of the people, that sacred land still proudly belonged to Vietnam.

In 1978, Lung Cu People's Armed Police Station (now Lung Cu Border Guard Station) erected the first flagpole made of 12m high sa moc tree, hanging a 1.2m² wide flag.

In 2000, Ha Giang province built a solid concrete flagpole, and in 2010 the structure was completely restored, 34.85m high, modeled after the Hanoi Flagpole.

On top of the pole, the 54m² red flag with yellow star - symbolizing 54 ethnic groups - flutters in the deep blue sky, like a powerful declaration of an independent, unified and eternal Vietnam.

Lung Cu National Flagpole not only marks the sacred northernmost point but is also an immortal symbol of sovereignty, patriotism and the will to preserve every sacred inch of the Fatherland.
