Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, was relocated from Hoa Lu (in present-day Ninh Binh Province) to Dai La in 1010.
Emperor Ly Thai To, the founder of the Ly Dynasty, issued the famous Edict on the Transfer of the Capital, deciding to move the capital from Hoa Lu to Dai La. He believed that Dai La's central location, spacious land, higher elevation, and favorable conditions for transportation, economic development, and national defense made it the ideal place for the country's capital.
According to legend, as the royal boat arrived at Dai La, the Emperor saw a golden dragon rising into the sky. Interpreting this as a good omen, he renamed the city Thang Long, meaning "Ascending Dragon." Thang Long later evolved into present-day Hanoi.
This historic decision marked the beginning of more than 1,000 years of continuous development, making Thang Long–Hanoi the political, cultural, and historical heart of Vietnam.
