The Imperial Citadel of Thăng Long anchors Hanoi’s rich mix of history and modern city life. Vietnam’s capital and second-most populous centrally governed city, it welcomes millions of visitors to landmarks such as Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Hoàn Kiếm Lake and West Lake. Across the urban area, pre-colonial buildings, French colonial streets, brutalist apartments, narrow alleys and tube houses reflect the city’s rapid 20th-century growth.
