Hanoi Tends to Develop the Old Quarter into...
Foundation of the Nation
Metal Age (about 4,000 years ago): Vietnam existed three major cultural centers: Phung Nguyen - Dong Son (The North), Long Thanh - Sa Huynh (The Centre) and Cau Sat, Doc Chua - Dong Nai (The South) from Bronze Age to Iron Age. These three major cultural centers had close and long mutual relationship, contributed to specific traditional culture of Vietnam. It's unity in abundance.
Country's official name
At the beginning of the Bronze Age, the Viet tribe groups had settled down in the North and in the north of Central Vietnam. There were about 15 groups of Lac Viet tribesmen living mainly in the northern highland and delta and a dozen Au Viet groups of tribesmen living in Viet Bac, the northern region of old Vietnam.
Phuc Kien Assembly Hall
This one is the best choice for your Hoi An vacation ticket. Hoi An's oldest, largest, most colorful, and most complex structure, this hall was first constructed in 1697 by Fukienese immigrants who later rebuilt it in 1757. Past the pink columns of the Red Phoenix Gate, look down to see the symbol for longevity surrounded by five bats of happiness( well, as if there was any other kind of bat). The first courtyard contains stonework and a statue called "Carp Contemplating a Moon."
Imperial Enclosure
Housing the emperor's residence and the main buildings of state, the Imperial Enclosure is a citadel- within-a- citadel, with 6m-high walls that re 2.5km in length. The enclosure was badly bombed during the France and American Wars, and a large part of it is still park-like ruins. Restoration of the least damaged sections and the complete rebuilding of others is an ongoing project.
