History

Ninh Binh city was formerly Van Sang town in Thanh Hoa, with Dai Nang village as its base. According to geographic sources, the citadel of Ninh Binh was constructed with very sturdy bricks during the Nguyen Dynasty, with the Middlle Gate in the east, the Left Gate in the west, and the Right Gate in the north.

During the French colonial era, the French built the citadel and transformed it into a somewhat bustling metropolis in the north of North Delta, establishing it as a county of Ninh Binh province. As a result, many new communities were developed, including Pesit Street, Cha Sau (Father Sau) Street, Nha Tho (Church) Street, Cau Lim Street, Gia Nua Street, and many two-story houses. However, as part of the French resistance, Ninh Binh city lost most of its homes, avenues, and offices in order to join the resistance.

The city was restored after the return of stability. As a result, Ninh Binh City is now a youthful city with natural landscapes resembling a futuristic metropolis.
