who is he?
He's the founder of the Ly dynasty in Vietnam. He moved the Capital from Bac Ninh, Northeast of Vietnam where he was originated from
to present day Hanoi in 1010. Hanoi is about to celebrate its 1000th birthday next year. Can't wait to see what in store for them.
He had a strong Buddhist background and had done many great things to the society and country at the time. One of which is the improved
Code of Law, Hong Duc which was pretty civil and advanced even at that period. At the fall of the Ly dynasty, some of his descendants fled Vietnam
to Taiwan and Korea to avoid political prosecution.
He's one of the great ruler in Vietnam.
