Located between West Lake and Truc Bach Lake, Thanh Nien Street (Hanoi Capital) has long been a meeting place for couples who like to sit and talk, watching the sunset by the windy lakeside.
 |
| Thanh Nien Road was originally a dam built in the early 17th century to keep fish in Truc Bach Lake. At first it was called “Co Ngu” (to hold firm), but later it was misread as “Co Ngu.” The road is nearly 1 km long, starting from Yen Phu slope to the Quan Thanh - Thuy Khue intersection. |
 |
| The most unique street in the capital lies between West Lake and Truc Bach Lake - two famous lakes of Hanoi. Seen from above, Thanh Nien Street looks like a bridge covered with trees. |
 |
| In the years 1957 - 1959, after the capital's youth contributed to building Co Ngu Street and several other larger and more beautiful projects, President Ho Chi Minh suggested changing the name to Thanh Nien Street to recognize and encourage the contributions of the young generation. |
 |
| Thanh Nien Street has become one of the most beautiful streets in the capital with beautiful roads, wide sidewalks and rows of green trees all year round. |
 |
| Giant ducks carrying couples gliding on the clear blue water of West Lake make this area even more romantic at sunset. |
|
 |
| On the road there is also Tran Quoc Pagoda - the oldest pagoda in Hanoi, built during the reign of Ly Nam De (541 - 547) with the original name Khai Quoc. During the reign of Le Than Tong (1619 - 1643), people of Yen Phu and Yen Quang villages built Co Ngu dam across West Lake (to form Truc Bach Lake) and built a road to the pagoda. |
 |
| On hot summer evenings, the streets and sidewalks are crowded with people coming to enjoy the cool breeze. On cold winter days, there are still many people sitting and drinking hot tea at sidewalk cafes. And this is also the meeting place for couples sitting and being affectionate by the lake. |
