    An Dương Vương stands as the foundational pillar of Vietnamese national identity. As the founder of the first unified state, Âu Lạc, his achievements include the creation of the first centralized government in the Red River Delta. His legacy is preserved through the enduring historical site of the Cổ Loa Citadel and the cautionary tales passed down through generations. In 2026, his story continues to be celebrated, with ongoing efforts to internationalize his historical site through UNESCO recognition.
