Thang Long Imperial Citadel - Preserving the global values ​​of humanity, arts, sculpture, and architecture
SEAMEO SPAFA's delegates visited Thang Long Imperial Citadel - a complex historical site associated with the history of Thang Long capital, Hanoi. This massive architectural work was built by dynasties of Vietnam during many historical periods and became the most important monument among the significant locations. The unique architectural traces and millions of precious artifacts have partly recreated the timeline of Vietnam, which lasted from the Northern neighbor's domination led by the Sui and Tang dynasties (7th century to 10th century AD) and passed through Vietnam's dynasties of Ly, Tran, Le, Mac, and Nguyen (1010-1945). The Central Sector of Thang Long Imperial Citadel - Hanoi is the only evidence of the long-standing cultural traditions of the Vietnamese people in the Red River Delta throughout its 13-century continuous history to this day. The archaeological cultural layers and architectural and artistic relics of the heritage reflect the ideologies, politics, administration, laws, economics, and culture of the various dynasties that ruled Vietnam for nearly a thousand years. It is rare to find a heritage demonstrating such a long-term continuity of political and cultural development as the Central Sector of Thang Long Imperial Citadel - Hanoi.
