The arched four doors of the ancient city are still intact and spectacular.

These four gates are called Binyang in the East, Geze in the West, Yang Gong in the South and Chen Gong in the North.

There are also two water gates, located on the east and west sides of the south gate.

There are also four small towns, and there are urn circles in the four gates.

There is a twisted door in each urn, that is, the north gate is west, the west gate is south, the south gate is east, and the east gate is south, so the ancient city has the saying that the old gate is eight open.

During the Republic of China, the urn was removed, but the remains were still visible.

A wide moat, rippling blue waves, surrounds the whole city.

There are reeds and lotus ponds in Hanoi.
