Three centuries later, the visionary Lord Nguyen Hoang strategically chose this land as his capital, thereby establishing one of the most memorable and influential dynasties in Vietnamese history – the illustrious Nguyen Dynasty, leaving an indelible mark on the nation’s cultural and historical fabric.
