Ba Đình, Political district in Hanoi, Vietnam

Ba Dinh district covers 9.21 square kilometers with 14 wards, forming the central administrative area of Hanoi with government offices and foreign embassies.

In September 1945, Ho Chi Minh proclaimed Vietnam's independence at Ba Dinh Square, addressing a gathering of 500,000 people during this pivotal moment.

The Temple of Literature within Ba Dinh maintains its position as Vietnam's primary Confucian sanctuary, featuring five courtyards with distinct architectural elements.

The district contains multiple metro stations, government buildings, and educational institutions, making it a central point for administrative and diplomatic activities.

A B-52 bomber wreckage from the Vietnam War remains preserved in Huu Tiep Lake, serving as a historical reminder within the Ngoc Ha neighborhood.
