Hanoi city (state capital), educational and cultural institutions - - Pictures
Hanoi has long been the center of education in the north. From 1442 to the late 19th century, the city was a major site of Vietnam's periodic civil service examinations, which tested knowledge of Confucianism, the foundation of the state's political system. Today the city is home to 19 universities and colleges, including the University of Hanoi (1956), the Hanoi University of Finance and Accounting (1963), and the Hanoi National Institute of Technology (1956). Hanoi's libraries and museums include the National Library of Vietnam (1919), the Army Museum (1959), and the Vietnam Museum of Fine Arts (1966). Numerous pagodas and several parks are located in the city. Thu Le Park, situated in the Ba Dinh sector, contains a small zoo.
