Dong Anh is a locality with rich and distinctive traditional culture connected to the historical struggles for the Vietnamese’s national construction and defense.
Co Loa temple is a famous historical heritagerelic with special values in Vietnamese nation’s history and cultures. At present, the cultural tourism destination not only attracts domestic tourists but also international ones.

They areIt is also an attractive humanistic resources useful for the developingment of cultural tourism in Dong Anh. In addition, many interesting festivals and traditional typeforms of arts with pround national characteridentity such as Ca Tru, traditional theatre opera, Cheo, water puppet or freestyle wrestling in the towns of Thuy Lam, Kim Chung, Nam Hong, Bac Hong, Kim 14 TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.60 No, Hai Boi, Lien Ha, Duc Tu, Uy No, Tien Duong, Co Loa, Vinh Ngoc and Viet Hung are also found in this area as: Ca Tru, traditional theatre opera, Cheo, water puppet or freestyle wrestling in many different towns such as: Thuy Lam, Kim Chung, Nam Hong, Bac Hong, Kim No, Hai Boi, Lien Ha, Duc Tu, Uy No, Tien Duong, Co Loa, Vinh Ngoc, Viet Hung.

Dong Anh wais located at the important strategic geographic position for Hanoi’sthe socio-economic developingment in Hanoi in particular and in theall the whole country in general. It is the suburb district on the Northern gateway to Hanoi capital with two important railways going through: Hanoi – Thai Nguyen and Hanoi – Yen Bai. Besides, the important overlandroad system with 7.5 km long plays a role in the lifeline as life-line traffic system in our country connecting Noi Bai Iinternational aAirlineport to Hanoi center as Highway 23ATwo, Three, Road No.18, high-speed way Thang Long – Noi Bai highway. This traffic advantage makes good premise to promote the social,o- economic and cultural development of the district.

If yes, how will the real situation of cultural tourism activities take place? From that issue, we have choosen the theme named “Potential, reality state and solutions for developing the cultural tourism in Dong Anh, Hanoi” in order to answer those e above questions.
