Thang Long Imperial Citadel Heritage
In 1010, King Ly Cong Uan moved the capital from Hoa Lu ( Ninh Binh ) to Thang Long, building a new citadel according to the "three-layer citadel" model, including the Forbidden City, the Imperial City and the La Thanh. Thang Long Citadel was continuously expanded through the Ly - Tran - Le dynasties. That was also the most glorious period of Vietnam's feudal history.
Thang Long Imperial Citadel - a place that preserves the identity and memories of thousands of years of Vietnamese history
Over time, the majestic citadels and purple pavilions have faded into the past. But this place is still a legendary witness of history, telling the next generation the story of ancient Thang Long - a capital that has constantly changed through the ages, and also about the Vietnamese people's persistent spirit of building and defending the country. In 2009, the central area of Thang Long Imperial Citadel - Hanoi was ranked as a special national monument and was listed by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage in 2010.
Bridging the past, present and future
The book Dai Viet Su Ky Toan Thu recorded: "In the autumn of the seventh month of the year Canh Tuat (1010), the king moved the capital from Hoa Lu to Dai La. The boat temporarily stopped under the citadel, a golden dragon appeared on the royal boat, so it was renamed Thang Long citadel". It can be seen that King Ly Cong Uan and his mandarins traveled by boat along the waterway and left at the end of summer. The route is said to have started from going up the Day River to Phu Ly, turning into the Chau Giang River, then going to other rivers to return to Thang Long.
Tourist complex with detailed reconstruction of Thang Long Imperial Citadel and life in the Ly - Tran dynasties 1,000 years ago at Sun Mega City
Not far from Phu Ly and the Chau Giang River, at Long Doi Son Pagoda in Ha Nam, a nearly 1,000-year-old pagoda, there is a stone stele clearly recording the history of the Ly and Tran dynasties. This is also the only remaining original document from the Ly Dynasty mentioning the Thang Long Capital.
Carrying the sacred imprint of Long Doi Son along with the remaining records on the Sung Thien Dien Linh stele, the cultural tourism complex recreating the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long has been carefully researched and planned by Sun Group to be built at Sun Mega City, right at the foot of Long Doi Son mountain - a coordinate rich in historical significance.

Creating an “iconic” cultural and historical destination of Vietnam
Developed on a scale of 1,690 hectares, Sun Mega City is not only the largest metropolis in the North, a symbol of a prosperous life, but also a place to recreate the colorful traditional culture. Accordingly, the "soul" of the project is a cultural tourism complex that recreates the detailed architecture of the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long and life in the Ly - Tran dynasties 1,000 years ago, where visitors "enter a journey back in time" to feel a part of the quintessence of the Vietnamese land. Stone-paved roads, majestic gates, magnificent palaces, and the vital To Lich River... will be recreated with the colorful rhythms of the past.
Dien Huu Pagoda - an iconic architectural work of the Ly Dynasty will be meticulously reconstructed.
Also here, visitors will have the opportunity to directly explore the meticulously recreated appearance of the works that were once the "pride" of royal architecture such as Dai Hung Gate, Ngu Phuong Tinh Lau, Bell Tower and Drum Tower, Phung Thien Palace - Chinh Duong Tower, Dai Khanh Phong, Quan Van - Quoc Tu Giam... especially the Forbidden City of Thang Long with important palaces, palaces and towers.
Not only stopping at architecture, in the "giant" 32,000m2 Square area, Sun Group also brings to this special "capital" a series of art shows, traditional festivals, cultural events and interactive activities to simulate the cultural life of the Ly - Tran dynasties.
Sun Mega City will bring "iconic cultural tourism complex" to the South of Hanoi
Following the river surrounding the Imperial Citadel, Sun Group will bring the Bach Dang show - a live performance with a 10,000m2 water stage simulating Ngo Quyen's legendary victory on the Bach Dang River in the past.
Along with that, traditional festivals such as the sparkling lantern festival, Quang Chieu lantern festival will also be held annually... combining ancient architecture with modern technology and 3D lighting. All create a multi-sensory feast of water, light and sound with art and culture all sublimated.
“Sun Mega City aims to become a new “cultural icon” of Vietnam, an unprecedented historical and cultural destination. This will be a place where the past is vividly recreated, where domestic and foreign tourists can touch the quintessence of national culture through unique and overwhelming experiences,” emphasized a representative of Sun Group.
