Hanoi tourism is not only famous for its ancient streets and typical dishes that delight diners from near and far, but also has many interesting famous relics. Among them is Hang Dau Boot - an outstanding architectural work and of special historical value for the city of a thousand years of civilization.
Around 1984, an epidemic spread in Hanoi, increasing the need for clean water. Therefore, the Clean Water Committee was established and water plants were urgently built. Hang Dau water tower was put into operation with the task of providing fresh water to people.
Due to its large architecture and the fact that it was once guarded by French soldiers, many people called this place Hang Dau Booth. Meanwhile, the colonial army called this tower Taitou because the tower was located at the beginning of the city, convenient to supply water directly to the stationed area in Thang Long citadel.
In addition, the Bot Hang Dau water tower also distributes water regularly to the neighborhoods in the capital and is controlled and controlled through large brake valves. In areas with many French people, the valve is never closed, while the water line to Vietnamese areas is often limited.
Hang Dau Station is divided by Nguyen Thiep Street and Hong Phuc Street. This area was previously home to Phuc Lam gate, known to locals as Hang Dau gate - one of the five gates of ancient Thang Long. However, later the French colonialists demolished this gate to build Doc Gach bridge, connected to the iron bridge across the Red River, known as Long Bien bridge.
To get to Hang Dau Booth, you can move along Phan Dinh Phung street to the 4th and 6th intersection and you will see Hang Dau Booth.
