Why did Hanoi name Trinh Tiet Street and Quan Tinh Street?

On July 2nd, continuing the program of the 17th session, the Hanoi City People's Council passed a Resolution on naming and adjusting the length of some roads, streets, and public works in the city.

Of the 22 newly named roads and streets in Hanoi, 15 are named after geographical locations, agricultural areas, or other types of names; and 7 are named after prominent figures.

Notably, the Hanoi City People's Council decided to name the section of road from the Trinh Tiet village gate (Trinh Tiet hamlet, Dai Hung commune, My Duc district) to the intersection with the road tentatively named "Trung Nghia" at the Seu market intersection as Trinh Tiet.

As for Quan Tinh Street (Long Bien District), it is named after the section of road from the intersection with Pham Khac Quang Street at the community center of residential group 7, Giang Bien Ward, to the intersection with the right bank of the Duong River at residential group 6, Giang Bien Ward (next to the Quan Tinh temple and pagoda, which has been classified as a historical site).

After reviewing the above content, the Legal Committee of the Hanoi City People's Council requested the city to explain the basis for naming Trinh Tiet Street, approximately 540m long, in My Duc District, and Quan Tinh Street, 500m long, in Long Bien District.

According to Mr. Duy Hoang Duong, Head of the Legal Affairs Committee of the Hanoi City People's Council, street naming should follow modern trends (such as using numbers or letters), especially in some new urban areas. The Legal Affairs Committee requested this in 2021, but the city has not yet implemented it.

Explaining the above content, the Director of the Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports, Do Dinh Hong, said that Trinh Tiet Street was named after an ancient village in My Duc district. The locality also has the Trinh Tiet temple, which has been classified as a city-level historical site.

According to Mr. Hong, the name Quan Tinh dates back to the late Le Trung Hung period, when it was a commune belonging to Dang Xa district, Gia Lam county, Thuan An prefecture, Kinh Bac province (now Bac Ninh province). The Quan Tinh pagoda is currently located in Giang Bien ward, Long Bien district.
