It is said that the first flagpole has existed here for almost a thousand years, since national hero Ly Thuong Kiet first made one out of conifer wood. Generation upon generation of Vietnamese have taken care of the flagpole and built it to the size it is now.

The proud flagpole can be seen from miles away, and the flag itself is a gigantic 54 square meters, symbolizing the 54 ethnic groups in Vietnam.
