[vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]Saturday 7th saw an amazing journey around Thang Long citadel with Mr. Alvaro Grana, an experienced guide from Friends of Vietnam Heritage (FVH).[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”1697″ img_size=”full”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]This walk allowed us an opportunity to learn about the hidden stories of the Citadel – a place seemed familiar to many. Do you know that Lenin Garden used to be a lake for elephant-bathing? Or there was a moat surrounding Thang Long citadel?

Some have stayed in Hanoi for 8 years, some was only here for 2 months, yet no matter who we are – long-time residents or newcomers, Vietnamese or foreigner, we all came to better understand and adore the beauty and Vietnam’s heritages after the journey.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”1695″ img_size=”full”][vc_single_image image=”1707″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text]13.11.2020[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]WRITER\u00a0<\/strong>\r\n\u0110inh Nguyen[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":1709,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"news-category":[40,19],"class_list":["post-1694","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news-category-culture","news-category-event"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nA look back at Hanoi City Walk: Imperial Citadel of Thang Long – Vietnam Festival of Creativity & Design<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/2021.vfcd.events\/en\/news\/a-look-back-at-hanoi-city-walk-imperial-citadel-of-thang-long\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"A look back at Hanoi City Walk: Imperial Citadel of Thang Long – Vietnam Festival of Creativity & Design\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"[vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]Saturday 7th saw an amazing journey around Thang Long citadel with Mr. Alvaro Grana, an experienced guide from Friends of Vietnam Heritage (FVH).[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”1697″ img_size=”full”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]This walk allowed us an opportunity to learn about the hidden stories of the Citadel – a place seemed familiar to many.
