Explanation of naming wards

According to the People's Committee of Hai Ba Trung District, the name " Hai Ba Trung Ward " comes from commemorating and honoring two Vietnamese national heroines, Trung Trac and Trung Nhi, commonly known as Hai Ba Trung. These are two sisters who led the uprising against the domination of the Eastern Han Dynasty (China) in 40 AD.

Currently, in Hai Ba Trung district, there is Hai Ba Trung Temple located on the same campus with two other relics, Vien Minh Pagoda and Dong Nhan Communal House, forming the Hai Ba Trung Temple - Pagoda - Communal House Relic Complex recognized by the Prime Minister as a special national relic on December 31, 2019.

Naming the ward as “Hai Ba Trung” is to commemorate the contributions of the two ladies in the cause of regaining national independence. At the same time,it educates the tradition of patriotism for future generations; honors the role of women in history and society.

Bach Mai is a suburban area in the southeast of Thang Long citadel. Historically, this place was the land of craft villages, long-standing residential areas, and had a strategic position on the neighboring traffic axis. During the resistance war against France and the US, Bach Mai was also the place that marked many revolutionary events, with secret bases and vibrant patriotic movements. Keeping this name shows the inheritance of history and respect for the cultural and social identity of the long-standing community in the area.

Vinh Tuy Ward is located in the eastern part of Hanoi, along the Red River, one of the most important traffic routes in history and at present. With a favorable location in terms of traffic and natural resources, Vinh Tuy is home to many generations of residents, and is also a place for the development of traditional crafts and commercial activities.

With the strong urbanization process, Vinh Tuy ward has transformed from a suburban area to a key ward in Hai Ba Trung district. Keeping the name "Vinh Tuy" in the administrative system not only preserves the historical and cultural values ​​of this land but also shows respect for the sustainable and long-term development process of the area. This name also shows the determination to build a strong community of residents, towards sustainable development in the context of modern urbanization.
