Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, is known for its centuries-old architecture and a rich culture.

Since 1954 Hanoi has been transformed from a primarily commercial city into an industrial and agricultural centre.

Some of the several historical and scenic points of the cities are: Lake Hoan Kiem, the Central Sector of the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long, built in the 11th century which was designated in 2010 as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The University of Hanoi, the Revolutionary Museum, the Army Museum, and the National Museum are important cultural institutions.
