4. On which mountain peak is the Lung Cu flagpole located?
- Dragon Mountain Peak0%
- Tay Con Linh0%
- Ma Pi Leng0%
The Lung Cu flagpole is located on the summit of Dragon Mountain (Long Son).
According to the Vietnam News Agency , this structure dates back to the Ly Dynasty, when Grand Marshal Ly Thuong Kiet led his troops to defend the border and planted a flag to assert sovereignty on the summit of Dragon Mountain.
During the Tay Son dynasty, King Quang Trung ordered the construction of guard posts and placed bronze drums that rang loudly at each watch, as a way of affirming that the land and sky were being guarded.
In 1887, the French colonialists and the Qing dynasty attempted to seize Lung Cu, but thanks to the unwavering spirit of the people, that sacred land proudly remained part of Vietnam.
In 1978, the Lung Cu People's Armed Police Station (now the Lung Cu Border Guard Station) erected its first flagpole, made of cypress wood, 12 meters high, and hoisted a flag measuring 1.2 square meters.
By 2000, Ha Giang province had built a sturdy concrete flagpole, and in 2010 the structure was renovated and completed, standing 34.85m tall and modeled after the Hanoi Flagpole.
At the top of the flagpole, a 54m² red flag with a yellow star – symbolizing the 54 ethnic groups of Vietnam – flies proudly against the deep blue sky, a powerful declaration of an independent, unified, and enduring Vietnam.
The Lung Cu National Flagpole not only marks the sacred northernmost point but also serves as an enduring symbol of sovereignty, patriotism, and the unwavering determination to defend every inch of sacred land of the Fatherland.
