From the 10th century to the 20th century, Vietnam went through many invasions, however, its sovereignty and independence were always safeguarded. That proves the true value of Vietnamese people which lies in their Aspiration for Independence and Freedom.

The Imperial Citadel of Thang Long - Hanoi is associated with important events and cultural and artistic values of Vietnam during its process of formation and development as an independent nation for nearly a millennium, and also its process of formation as a modern nation in Asia.
