Hoa Lu, the ancient capital of Vietnam from 968 to 1009, was once the seat of the Dinh and Le dynasties. The kings of these dynasties constructed a citadel, nestled among stunning karst mountains. Despite centuries of war and natural erosion, the site still features significant landmarks, including two sacred temples dedicated to the kings and a portion of the old palace.
