About Le Thai To Monument

Le Thai To Monument is a memorial located along Le Thai To Street on the western bank of Ho Hoan Kiem. It was built to commemorate Le Thai To, the founder of the Le Dynasty, which ruled what is today Vietnam, from 1428-1776. Le Thai To should not be confused with Ly Thai To, whose statue is at Indira Gandhi Park. Le Thai To was a resistance leader who under his original name Le Loi, fought against the Chinese occupiers and managed to drive the Chinese forces out of Vietnam, and crowned himself as the new ruler, taking the title Le Thai To. Under his rule, the country was called Dai Viet.
