A gate to the past

Ô Quan Chưởng is the last existing gate of Thăng Long ancient citadel. It was built during the reign of King Lê Hiển Tông (1749) and was originally named Đông Hạ Môn (East Gate). The old east gate leads the way to the crowded streets of Hà Nội Old Quarter and maintains traditional values in the heart of a modern city.
