For many centuries, the strip of land to the west of Hanoi has been known as the Doai area, one of the four major towns of Thang Long Capital.
The Doai area boasts a great deal of heritage, including Duong Lam ancient village, Huong pagoda and Tay Phuong pagoda, traditional handicraft villages, folk singing and Cheo Tau (traditional opera). Son Tay town is the place where the cultural heritage values of Doai area converge and spread. Doai culture is the pride of the people in the west of the Capital.
After 16 years Ha Tay Province merged into Hanoi, the cultural quintessence of Doai is still preserved and increasingly developed. Doai culture has blended and blended with Thang Long culture to contribute to creating the richness and uniqueness of the capital.
Many heritages of the Doai region are exploited for tourism, many types of folk performing arts are playing a role as a resource of the cultural industry, the material to create today's creative city.
