Cầu Giấy (lit. Paper Bridge) is an urban district of Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam. The district is named after the historic bridge where the famous 19th-century Battle of Cầu Giấy (Paper Bridge) was fought.
Many urban areas are located in Cau Giay. Among them, Trung Hoà - Nhân Chính emerges as the new city's commercial center lying partly in the southern part of the district (Trung Hoà ward). The massive Keangnam Hanoi Landmark Tower, the highest constructed building of Vietnam is also located in this area.
