Brief History of Hanoi
Hanoi, the timeless capital of Vietnam, is a city where ancient traditions, colonial influences, and revolutionary spirit blend into a rich historical tapestry. A Brief History of Hanoi explores the city’s evolution from its founding over a thousand years ago as Thăng Long—“Rising Dragon”—to its role as the political and cultural heart of modern Vietnam. The book traces Hanoi’s significance through various dynasties, its occupation by Chinese and French powers, and its emergence as the capital of an independent North Vietnam during the 20th century. Hanoi’s streets still echo with history—from the imperial citadel and ancient pagodas to French colonial boulevards and war memorials. It was in Hanoi that pivotal moments of resistance, unification, and renewal unfolded, shaping the destiny of a nation. A Brief History of Hanoi offers a concise and engaging portrait of a city that has endured and adapted across centuries of change. Perfect for history enthusiasts, travelers, and anyone curious about Southeast Asia, this book captures the enduring soul of Vietnam’s capital.
