Ten-day festival to celebrate 1,000th anniversary of Thanh Long-Hanoi concluded Sunday with an art and cultural festival and firework displays at the My Dinh National Stadium.
The closing ceremony, entitled “Thang Long-Hanoi: City of Soaring Dragon”, reviewed major milestones in the history of Vietnam, including the decision by King Ly Cong Uan to relocate capital in the year 1010.
It was moved from Hoa Lu in the northern province of Ninh Binh to the nowadays Hanoi.
The ceremony also featured three victories over Chinese Mongol invaders of the Tran dynasty’s, King Le Loi’s sword return, President Ho Chi Minh with the Independence Declaration, and Hanoi -- the city for peace.
The event drew the participation of nearly 7,000 artists, athletes and students of art and sports schools.
Notably, a set of 100 bronze drums casted by artisans from the central province of Thanh Hoa was used during the festival.
The sky of Hanoi was colorfully lit up with an impressive fireworks performance.
