==== Thăng Long, Đông Đô, Đông Quan, Đông Kinh ====
In 1010, [[Lý Thái Tổ]], the first ruler of the [[Lý dynasty]], moved the capital of [[Đại Việt]] to the site of the Đại La Citadel. Claiming to have seen a dragon ascending the Red River, he renamed the site Thăng Long (昇龍) – a name still used poetically to this day. Thăng Long remained the capital of Đại Việt until 1397, when it was moved to [[Thanh Hóa]], then known as Tây Đô (西都), the "Western Capital". Thăng Long then became Đông Đô (東都), the "Eastern Capital".

In 1408, the Chinese [[Ming dynasty]] attacked and occupied Vietnam, changing Đông Đô's name to Dongguan ({{CJKV|c=東關|v=Đông Quan|l=eastern gate}}). In 1428, the [[Lam Sơn uprising]], under the leadership of [[Lê Lợi]], overthrew the Chinese rule. Lê Lợi founded the [[Lê dynasty]] and renamed Đông Quan to Đông Kinh (東京) or [[Tonkin]]. During 17th century, the population of Đông Kinh was estimated by Western diplomats as about 100,000.{{sfn|Boudarel|Nguyen|Nguyễn|2002|p=19}} Right after the end of the [[Tây Sơn dynasty]], it was named Bắc Thành (北城).
