In December 2002, experts carried out the largest excavation in South East Asia on an area of 19,000 sq meters inside the Royal city. They discovered millions of artifacts relating to layers of culture during 13 centuries

The relics show us the culture of Dynasties of Ly, Tran, Le, Mac, and Nguyen (1010 - 1945). At 20h30 on 31 July 2010, Thang Long Royal city was recognized as World Heritage of Culture by UNESCO. Hanoi people in particular and Vietnamese in general were very proud of that news.
