A special tour program marking the restart took place on the evening of April 29 with the participation of two famous pianists, brothers Luu Hong Quang and Luu Duc Anh, performing songs celebrating the joy of the national reunification day (April 30, 1975).

Visitors will begin their 1.5-hour tour at Doan Mon (Main Gate), the entrance to Cam Thanh (Forbidden area) - the king’s residence, and learn about the site’s history, architecture and functions there.

Joining the tour, visitors can experience the space of the ancient Imperial Citadel, enjoy the royal dance right on the unique archaeological vestiges; continue to admire the precious artifacts and antiques found in the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long in the display house; and offer incense in memory of the ancestors at Kinh Thien Palace.

The last destination of this trip is the archaeological site at No. 18 Hoang Dieu street, where visitors will experience a laser light show of outstanding antiquities of the Thang Long Imperial Citadel. Tourists can take part in a game in which they have to identify typical objects of feudal dynasties in the past.

The tour was launched in April 2021 by the Thang Long - Hanoi Heritage Conservation Center and the Hanoitourist travel company. It was available every weekend and received high evaluation from tourists./.
