My UNESCO WHS List

This blog puts together some of my passions: travelling, especially to UNESCO World Heritage Sites (WHS); philately (collecting stamps); deltiology (collecting postcards); and doing research into TUIs (i.e., totally useless information) of things that interest me. Hence, it catalogues UNESCO WHS that I have been to, stamps showing UNESCO WHS that I have, as well as postcards featuring UNESCO WHS that I have received (i.e., stamped and posted) and maxicards and postal cards (both used or unused).

year of inscription. 2010

criteria. Cultural

The Thang Long Imperial Citadel is located in the municipality of Hanoi. It dates back to the 11th century CE, and was constructed by the Ly Viet Dynasty upon independence of the Dai Viet; the site was originally occupied by a Chinese fortress which was first established in the 7th century. Since then, the citadel has been the centre of political power in the region, a representation of a unique Southeast Asian culture specific to the Red River valley, with influences from China and the Kingdom of Champa. The WHS, consisting of the Central Sector of the citadel, is the best-preserved part of the complex.
