This location is located at an altitude of about 1,470m above sea level. Lung Cu flagpole has a long history, having undergone many restorations and embellishments, the new octagonal flagpole with a height of over 30m was inaugurated on September 25, 2010. First built during the reign of Ly Thuong Kiet, the flagpole was initially made only of sa Moc tree. The column was rebuilt during the French colonial period in 1887. In the following years, such as 1992, 2000 and especially 2002, the flagpole continued to be restored and rebuilt many times with the size and scale increasing over time. In 2002, the flagpole was erected with a height of about 20m, the base and pedestal of the column are hexagonal shaped and at the base of the column are 6 reliefs depicting the surface of Dong Son bronze drums. According to the current design, the flagpole is built according to the Hanoi flagpole model but has a smaller size, height of 33.15m (10m more than the old flagpole) of which the base is 20.25m high, the outer diameter of the pole body is 20.25m high. 3.8m wide. The base and pedestal of the flagpole have 8 blue stone reliefs simulating the face pattern of the Dong Son bronze drum and motifs illustrating the stages through each period of the country's history, as well as its people. This location is also ranked as a national historical and scenic site, a symbol of affirming national sovereignty. Every year, Lung Cu flagpole welcomes a large number of tourists to explore.
