The 140-part Thang Long – Ngan Nam Thuong Nho (Nostalgia for 1,000 year-old Thang Long-Ha Noi), which began shooting last year is one of HCMC’s projects to celebrate the 1,000th anniversary of the nation’s capital.

Each 10-minute episode describes historic events in Hanoi since the day King Ly Thai To moved the capital from Hoa Lu in what is now Ninh Binh Province to Thang Long (now Hanoi) in 1010.

“The affection felt by the southern Vietnamese toward Hanoi, even though many of them have never been there, is also dealt with in the documentary,” film director Do Ben said.

Produced by HCMC Television Film Studio, Nostalgia for 1,000-year-old Thang Long-Ha Noi will be screened at 22.40pm on HTV 7, and at 23.30pm on HTV 9 every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
