In 1896, on the land of Phu Khanh village - Vinh Xuong district - Tho Xuong district - Hanoi, the French colonialists built Hoa Lo prison. This is one of the largest prisons of the French colonialists in Indochina.

However, from August 5, 1964 to March 31, 1973, Hoa Lo prison was also used to detain American pilots who were shot down while bombing North Vietnam. During this period, American pilots gave Hoa Lo the humorous name "Hanoi Hilton". American pilots detained here included Douglas Peter Peterson, who later became the first US Ambassador to the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, and John Mc Cain - currently a US Senator.
In 1993, to meet the economic development requirements of the Capital, the Government of Vietnam decided to change the use purpose of Hoa Lo prison. The remaining southeast part is preserved, restored, and embellished to be classified as a historical relic of Hanoi. Here there is a memorial to Vietnamese patriotic and revolutionary soldiers who heroically sacrificed their lives at Hoa Lo prison for the independence and freedom of the nation."
