VietNamNet Bridge – Co Loa Citadel was built near Phong Khe, about 20 km to the north of today’s Hanoi, during the end of the Hong Bang Dynasty (about 257 BCE). The fortress is a spiral-shaped complex of the then new capital. The site was the source of various relics of the Dong Son culture of the Bronze Age.

According to folklore, An Duong Vuong defeated the last of the Hung Kings in 257 BCE and founded the kingdom of Au Lac, choosing the site of Co Loa as his capital.

Co Loa is a very large site and is the dominant presence in the northern floodplain of the Red River Delta, which would have required a large amount of labor and resources to have built in its time. Tiếp tục đọc “Co Loa – the oldest citadel in Vietnam” →

Như một lời hò hẹn, cứ độ tháng 5, khi đợt nắng sớm đã có phần oi bức thì cũng là lúc những bông hoa bằng lăng tím biếc bắt đầu đua nở.

Mùa hè thường được báo hiệu bằng tiếng ve, tiếng tu hú… nhưng ở Hà Nội, một trong những dấu hiệu đặc trưng của mùa hè là sắc hoa tím biếc của bằng lăng bung nở. Ít ai biết, bằng lăng gắn liền với một sự tích buồn, là loài hoa của sự chia ly, xa cách, nhớ nhung. Khi bằng lăng nở, cũng là thời điểm mà người ta nhớ về những kỷ niệm xưa cũ của tuổi học trò hồn nhiên với mối tình đầu thuần khiết nhưng dễ xa lìa.
