An Duong Vuong Street

An Duong Vuong Street is a beautiful and broad thoroughfare that connects Thang Long Bridge to the center of Hanoi. Stretching approximately 3.5 kilometers, it runs from the intersection of Lac Long Quan Street and Au Co Street, following the dyke along the Red River to the junction with Pham Van Dong Street.

Originally referred to as Nhat Tan-Phu Xa Dyke, the street was officially named An Duong Vuong in July 2001.

An Duong Vuong Street passes through several ancient villages including Phu Xa, Phu Gia, Thuong Thuy, Nhat Tao, and Dong Ngac, each rich in history and home to numerous revolutionary monuments:

Phu Xa village, also known as Xu village, is notable for the grave of PhD Nguyen Kieu. This village holds historical significance as it was the first place Uncle Ho visited on August 23 or 24, 1945, after returning from Viet Bac. He spent a night at Mr. An’s house before continuing to inner Hanoi the following day.

In Phu Gia village, formerly known as Ga village, Mrs. Hai Ve’s house serves as a key historical site. This location was the headquarters of the Party Central Committee during 1943-1944 and has since been transformed into a commemorative house. Not far from here, Ba Gia Pagoda, also known as Old Lady Pagoda, stands as a significant architectural achievement of Vietnamese Buddhism, boasting a history of over 1,000 years.

Thuong Thuy village, previously called Bac village, features a large Christian church that was constructed in the early 20th century, adding to the diverse cultural landscape of the area.

Nhat Tao village, historically known as Kieu or Cao village, is home to a historic bell crafted by Confucians and Taoists in 948, symbolizing the village's rich cultural heritage.

Dong Ngac village, originally Ve village, carries a long tradition of academia. In ancient times, it produced numerous doctors and ministers, and in modern times, it has been the birthplace of many influential leaders in the Vietnamese Communist Party and government.
