However, it took almost 7 years and completed in 1812 during the Nguyen dynasty. During French colonial rule, nearly all the remains of Imperial Citadel of Thang Long were destroyed but the tower is among those rare constructions which are still intact. Flag tower’s shape is cylindrical and blocks are stacked which form a conical shape. Looking from the bottom, strong vertical and elegant contours can be seen. Gazebo and scape are in the center of the pedestal. The pedestal is made of frustum shape and is ornamented with simple patterns and shapes. Exclusive details about the tower make it an impressive attraction in Hanoi.
The ceremony of raising the flags on flag pole of the tower is supposed to be one of the most important moment in the minds of local Vietnamese. Vietnamese air force used the flag pole as an observatory point for a long time. Image of the tower has its own value as it was printed on the money paper, issued by the first bank of Vietnam. Hanoi Flag Tower image is painted on old money paper of Vietnam (I VND). A national flag is wavering on the top of flag tower of Hanoi since the past three decades. Flags are replaced after every 2 to 3 weeks.
