This is considered the founding day of Hanoi . The architecture of the imperial residence, which was built in the following years on the ruins of the Chinese fortress and on drained alluvial land, is based on Chinese models. In the square inner royal city ( Hoàng Thành ), the most important buildings are arranged along a north-south axis, with the throne hall, ministries and administrative buildings in the middle. To the north is the Purple Forbidden City ( Tử Cấm Thành ) with ornate palaces and gardens, in which the royal family resides.
