Ba Đình [ɓaː˧˧:ɗï̤ŋ˨˩] is a ward of Hanoi the capital city in the Red River Delta of Vietnam.[3]

History

Its name Ba Đình is suggested directly from the former district to preserve and promote the cultural values as well as the history of this administrative unit.[2]

21st century

After the entire large area of Hà Tây Province was merged in Hà Nội City in August 1, 2008, along with a number of small lands of two provinces Hòa Bình and Vĩnh Phúc, the important political agencies of the Government of Vietnam have gradually moved to newly established urban districts in the west of the city. This move has been said that in the policy[note 2] of reducing the cause of traffic congestion, and at the same time, facilitating development for poor localities in the west of the capital.[4][5] According to this project, after the system of agencies has been transferred to another places, the entire Ba Đình District will enter the restoration phase for architectural works that have been degraded for many different reasons.[6][7] Therefore, until the early 2020s, except for the Presidential Palace and Government Guest Hall where were still used for ritual and diplomatic activities, almost the space of Ba Đình District has been converted to purposes of culture, education, and especially tourism.

In April 29, 2025, to meet the urgent needs of the project for re-organising and merging administrative units by the National Assembly Standing Committee of Vietnam, the Hanoi City People's Council agreed to approve Resolution 19/NQ-HĐND on approving the policy of arranging the commune-level administrative unit of Hanoi City.[8]
