| Description: |
Located near the town of Ninh Binh, 90 km south of Hanoi, Hoa Lu
Ancient Capital is the capital of an ancient Vietnamese Kingdom
called Dai Co Viet in the 10th century. This small Kingdom
covered an area of only 300 hectares, and reigned from the 10th
century, during the Dinh and Le dynasties, to the 11th century,
during the Ly Dynasty. The Kingdom was enclosed by a citadel.
The citadel and the Yen Ngua limestone hills provided a good
defence for this kingdom against the Chinese. In 968, King Dinh Bo Linh of Dai Co Viet (an old name of Vietnam) constructed his capital in Hoa Lu and ruled until the year 980. Afterwards, Hoa Lu also existed for almost 30 years of Early Le dynasty (980-1009) and 1 year of the Ly dynasty (1009-1010). In 1010, King Ly Thai To moved it to Thang Long (Ha Noi now) and since then, Hoa Lu became an ancient capital which maintained lots of ancient temples and relic sites of Vietnam. |
