Introduction to Hanoi flagpole

The “ Hanoi Flagpole” is located on Dien Bien Phu Street, Ba Dinh District, Hanoi, built in 1812, under the reign of King Gia Long of the Nguyen Dynasty on the southern part of the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long, where the Tam Mon citadel of the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long under the Le Dynasty was built. This is the reference point, marking the beginning at the southern end of the central axis of the citadel, from here following the “fishing road”, through Doan Mon and then to the most important point, the central point of the Imperial Citadel, Kinh Thien Palace.
