Beautiful, elegant yet so happening. Can see lots of happiness in the kids running around :)

Set within a large, well kept square the statue is a tribute to this famous Emperor who lived between 974 and 1028.

Directly across from ngoc son temple and the lake so very nice location. Not much information provided surrounding the statue at the location but a cool thing to see with a nice park behind. Clean environment, nice to see a respected statue.

On the weekend, due to the street market(only walking area/blocking cars) we can get on the HaNoi city tour bus just passing this park. People and children were relaxing and playing there

It’s quite fun and enjoy when seating there ans see some adult people come and practice dancing . Good vibe

This is a cultural and architectural work which aims to honour King Ly Thai To (974 – 1028). He is the first king who found Capital Citadel of Thang Long (Hanoi today). In February, 2003, the Hanoi Department of Culture and Information launched a contest to design the statue of King Ly Thai To. The design of sculptor Vi Thi Hoa (Vietnam Fine Arts Association) was selected from 29 other designs. The statue was cast on August 17, 2004 and inaugurated on October 7, 2004. This is the biggest pure bronze statue in Vietnam with weight of 34 tons (the statue of 12 tons and its stage of 20 tons), height of 10.10m (6.8m-high statue, 3.3m-high stage). The number 1010 corresponds with foundation year of the Capital Citadel of Thang Long.

Nice place. ^^. Its in the center of HN Vietnam and celebrate many events in there. I was here with my family yesterday coz of "sakura" festival and earth hour event near there. So crowd of ppl and such amazing memory when stuck in the street for a while.

Ly Thai To Monument in the evening is amazing, especially with live cultural performance. Great!

Interesting statue of an important figure in Vietnamese history, but if you’re looking for English language information you’ll be disappointed. Instead you’ll have to read up online. The monument itself is really well done with nice stonework; the paving and walls are adorned with interesting motifs and carvings. A decent number of trees surround the perimeter of the site.

Countdown & firework on New Year day 2021 at Hoan Kiem Lake.

a large bronze sculpture; a cultural and architectural work to honor Emperor Ly Thai To, founder of the Ly dynasty of Vietnam. Located in Indira Gandhi Park where locals stroll and held the dance and games

We visited this area on a day the streets were closed, for a festival, a perfect time as the traffic can be crazy, Located in a beautiful, parks stands this bronze statue dedicated to a great leader who was the founder of the Ly dynasty, the emperor ruled in the early 11th century.

The Emperor Ly Thai To Monument in Hanoi is a beautiful cultural and historical architectural structure located in the heart of the city, offering a direct view of Hoan Kiem Lake. Standing at approximately 10 meters tall, adorned with intricate and detailed sculptures, it serves as a magnificent symbol of Hanoi's thousand-year history. The surrounding area is spacious, clean, and refreshing, adorned with numerous green trees planted on both sides and a wide open courtyard at the back. People often come here for sightseeing or exercise, enjoying a leisurely walk around the monument. If you're touring Hanoi, passing through the Old Quarter, taking a moment to visit this monument is worthwhile. It not only provides an opportunity to delve into history but also offers a chance to experience something new amidst the bustling city.

Well, at the beginning, the statue of liberty stood there, at the end of the 19th century. After that, the statue of Paul Bert, and now, King Ly Thay To. Nice place to enjoy, especially on the weekends when the road around the lake is blocked for motorized vehicles.

Express the history with a significant person and adds an amusing scenery

A statue of King Ly Thai To is a must visit site in the old quarter and opposite of Hoan Kiem Lake

Hanoi’s peaceful corner with pigeons, french style landscape and indochina architecture around.

Set in a beautiful peaceful location very close to the lake. There is always some kind of activity going on with the locals.

Good and calm square in busy zone.

We booked 60 minutes of full body massage and it was amazing! The receptionist was very very friendly and the massage girls has good techniques. I feel like a new person now. Highly recommend for everyone coming to Hanoi.

No dis' but the head looks like it was cast from a Lenin mold.

It’s crowded as there’re often activities here.

Nothing to see. Just a statue.

One of the most famous Monuments in Hanoi.

Impressive statue of king Lý Thái Tổ overlooking the paved area towards the lake. The street in front is also named after him. Shows or performances are occasionally held in the paved area.

We already have nice place for good lunch at there when all restaurant only accept take away. Save the moment.

Great place..very happening.. especially during Christmas..just in front of a beautiful lake which looks awesome at night..lots of romantic couples and children can be seen around..turtle temple is just in front too.. amazing place.. highlands coffee and beer bars around too..lots of music and fun in the area..

Saw a lot of people taking photos so I went to check out this attraction. This bronze statue is of a former emperor, who founded what is now modern Hanoi. There were teens practising their skateboarding skills while some mature ladies congregated near the statue and seemed to enjoy chatting among themselves. A nice park to visit.

There are always very interesting finds on vacations, he is one of them. Never heard of him before, I have found out what made him so special.

Great place in the evening for kids. You can hire bikes and skates for children to play around, at the spacious plaza in front of the statue. Relaxing space

Nice spot to hang out and relax and also good place to take a picture. Good to come day or night.
