An Duong Vuong, succeeding the era of the nation founders, the Hung Kings, is credited with establishing Au Lac, an ancient state in Vietnam.
His strategic vision and unwavering determination in national construction and defense led him to relocate the nation’s center from the northern mountain region to the vast and fertile plains where he established the ancient capital, known today as Co Loa.
Through extraordinary efforts, An Duong Vuong and the people of Au Lac completed the construction of the Co Loa Citadel, featuring a unique spiral three-tiered architectural design, within a remarkably short period.

During the visit to Co Loa, President Thuong planted a tree at the site and toured community centers of residential groups in Dong Anh district and the local cultural, information and sports center.
Earlier in the morning, Mr. Thuong visited and presented gifts to Phuc Loc kindergarten in Uy No commune.
Serving an area of over 8,000 square meters, it is the first public kindergarten in Dong Anh district oriented toward a high-quality preschool model.
