Co Loa Festival is annually celebrated after Tet. This festival was formed by according to the legendary story telling about King An Duong of Au Lac and his daughter My Chau.
Located by King An Duong in the area of Co Loa, about 16 km north of Hanoi city, Veitnam, Co Loa was chosen to be the capital of the state of Au Lac, which was established along the Red River Delta.
This state was originally founded after the Tay Au conquest of the Hung kings of Van Lang in 258 BC. Covered a large area of more than five square km, the Co Loa citadel is originally constructed with the walls arranged in a spiral shape that consists of nine coils.
Located in one of the ancient areas in Hanoi, Thanh Ha is popularly known as a historical riverside quarter which includes Hang Chieu, Hang Buom, Hang Khoai, Nguyen Sieu streets and others. This quarter also links to the Quan Chuong area and Dong Xuan Street.
Thanh Ha is early formed as a village of Hau Tuc canton lying in Tho Xuong district, a large district in North of Hanoi. There is a famous saying telling about this District that “the Tran Vu bell sound and Tho Xuong cock crow”. It is also well-known because the district has Tay Ho, one of the largest lakes in Hanoi. Quang Chuong gate is a main door leading to Hanoi city. There were three words: “Dong Ha Mon” that initially appeared on the main dome of the Quang Chuong gate in the early period of the 18th Century. The word “Mon” in that name means gate. Beside that, the word “Ha”, which is posted in the name of some areas of Hanoi such as Thanh Ha, Dong Ha and Ha Khau, primarily means tike Red River or Cai River. And then, in the early 19th century, the name Thang Long was changed into “Hanoi” or “the inner city if tile river”.
