About Ba Dinh district
Ba Dinh district is a significant political area and home to numerous historical monuments and important buildings, including Ba Dinh Square, the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum Complex, and the Presidential Palace. In 2025, Ba Dinh continues to serve as the hub for most embassies, particularly along prominent boulevards such as Lieu Giai (housing the embassies of Japan and Australia), Dien Bien Phu (featuring embassies from Singapore, Denmark, and Germany), and Hung Vuong (where Canada’s embassy is situated). Beyond its political significance, Ba Dinh is also an educational center for locals, renowned for its high-quality secondary and high schools. For tourists, Ba Dinh offers a contrasting perspective of Hanoi that differs significantly from the bustling Old Quarter—a serene and green representation of the capital.
