About Hoa Lu Ancient Capital

Capital of Vietnam in the 10th and 11th centuries. The capital at its time covered an area of 300 ha (3.0 km2), including both the Inner and Outer Citadels. It included defensive earthen walls, palaces, temples, and shrines, and was surrounded and protected by mountains of limestone. Today, the ancient citadel no longer exists, and few vestiges of the 10th century remain. Visitors can see temples built in honor of the emperors Đinh Tiên Hoàng and Lê Đại Hành, their sons, and Queen Dương Vân Nga.

Hoa Lu was supposed to be Vietnam's old capital. Today, you can find old gates and temples. You can explore them on your own and on foot. There are a lot of small pathways behind each structure. Best to come early morning or late afternoon because it might get too hot otherwise.
