The Citadel of the Ho Dynasty (Ho Family) was built from 1397-1401 by Ho Quy Ly when he became the King of Vietnam usurping the throne from the Tran Dynasty (Tran Family). Due to threat of invasion from China (the Ming Dynasty) and hostility within Vietnam, Ho Quy Ly moved the capital city to Vinh Loc, Thanh Hoa Province, and the citadel was built at the new royal capital.

Travel Guide to Citadel of the Ho Dynasty, Thanh Hoa
The citadel walls were built of stabs of stone without mortar or glue in between the stones. Outside of the wall, there were water moats and bamboo hedges. Nowadays visiting the citadel, you can still see the four gates to the citadel and the stone walls. All buildings, the moats and bamboo hedges of the past are replaced by rice fields. The Ho Dynasty Citadel was listed to the World Heritage by the UNESCO in June 2011.
Visiting the Ho Citadel, you can sample a very vivid daily life of the local farmers. AdventureGreen organize trips to the Citadel of the Ho Family and nearby tourist attractions.
