Việt Trì

Việt Trì is a ward of Phú Thọ Province, Vietnam, and the capital of the province. The Vietnamese Wikipedia article says the former city of Việt Trì was the provincial seat of Phú Thọ and its economic, political, cultural and scientific centre, regarded as the place where the first Vietnamese capital, Văn Lang, stood and the home of the Hùng kings. It was the first industrial city of the socialist north, known for textiles, paper, chemicals and porcelain, and it is called the city of three rivers because it lies near the meeting of the Thao, Lô and Đà rivers into the Red River. It sits where hills give way to the plain at the apex of the Red River delta, with Ba Vì mountain to the southwest and the Tam Đảo range to the northeast, and on the tenth day of the third lunar month millions of people visit the Hùng kings temple on Nghĩa Lĩnh mountain.
