History
In 1010, the capital city was moved to Hanoi and King Ly Thai To changed the name of Hoa Lu to Trang An District. The name Trang An from that time had been associated with Hoa Lu as the ancient capital city.

In early 2000, the much-hidden area of over two thousand hectares of land in the south of Hoa Lu District was started being revealed to the public and was quickly turned into a popular tourist attraction. The name of Trang An has been used to refer to this stunning landscape since then.
