Hanoi Flag Tower is located on Dien Bien Phu Street, Ba Dinh district, Hanoi, was built in 1812, under King Gia Long dynasty on the land south of the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long.
Flagpole was built simultaneously with the construction of Hanoi during the year 1803-1805. Yes document later to determine the flagpole was built in 1812 under the Nguyen Gia Long. Flag Tower of Hanoi is a superficial world works, the highest in the city at the time. Flag Tower of Hanoi is one of the few buildings in the area of Hanoi has escaped destruction by the French colonial government conducted three years 1894-1897.


From the window at the top of the flagpole one can observe the whole inner city and suburban region. That is why the French have not only not to destroy this work in the interim accounts for 1894 - 1897 which was used as observation mast and base station communication between the steering committee unit around with flags and signal lights.

According to Phan Thuc Online in Korea use of cell border, the "Citadel of Thang Long in front of people to build a column called" radio "hundred meters higher." According to calculations by 0,42m 1 meter, so the radio in Phan Thuc online records will have a height of about 42m.

But according to the current state management agencies provide the flagpole Hanoi is a superficial process with three floors and a charcoal column shock level. The square truncated pyramid floors, smaller overlap around the building with brick tiles.

Floor one each length 42,5m, 3,1m high, with two brick stairs leading up. The second floor each 27m in length, 3.7 meters high, has four doors, covering the east above the word "Nghênh gore," that is to welcome the morning light, west door covering the word "Memories", meaning light reflection, south gate with the initials "user identity", ie towards the light, while the North has no literal door.

Floor three each length 12.8 m, height 5.1 m, with the door up the stairs looks toward the north. Flagpole cylindrical octagonal, tapered from the bottom up. The body height 12.8 m columns, each about 21,1m bottom edge. In the flagpole itself has 54 spiral stairs to the top. The whole body of the flagpole is illuminating and ventilation by 39 wicket gates rosettes and six chestnut fan shape. These gates are located along the sides, with each side approximately 4-5 down.

The top of the flagpole there is octagonal, height 3.3 m, which corresponds to 8 windows 8 edge. Between the cylindrical floor is used to plug the flagpole (8m) in diameter 0.4 m, rising to the top of the stairs. Thus, from the foot up to the flagpole flag office in height 33,4m, while additional dates for both the flag is suspended over 40 meters high.

Walking up the stairs step by step to the top of the mast do not pay back my heart flutters about a heroic memory, glorious history of the nation. Hanoi Flag Tower is a symbol of sovereignty and national independence, of the sense of self-reliance, not succumb to the foreign powers invaded peoples of Vietnam.

Currently, many new buildings have sprouted up around the flagpole much higher, standing atop the flagpole I no longer view both internal and external areas of the capital as hundreds of years ago when it first built completed.

But now he stood atop the column view I still see many other things more interesting, there is a quiet peaceful Hanoi, the ancient citadel party, party Ho Mausoleum monument and museum Military at the foot of the flagpole. I've also seen a very bustling Hanoi, less busy roads, streets around ...

Nearly two centuries since it was built, flagpole Hanoi still superficial world, stood boldly witnessed sharp ups and downs along the capital and the country. To this day when the country is completely independent, entered the stage of renovation, construction, cooperation, development here has become a tourist attractions valued relic population of ancient Hanoi regularly welcome tourists at home and abroad to visit.
