The Hanoi ancient citadel now includes 5 sections: The Flag Tower ( u have to go through the Army museum)- Dien Bien Phu str, Doan Mon Gate - the entrance gate is at Hoang Dieu str, Kinh Thien Palace - Hoang Dieu Str, Hau Lau - Hoang Dieu Str, and Northern Gate ( Cua bac) - Phan Dinh Phung str. They are separated, so u have to go through different entries...
Hope it helps,

The old Citadel is now open and you can walk through from Doan Mon Gate to the Ladies Pagoda. The underground war bunker is only open during festivals.
Go in Doan Mon Gate and walk behind the tower. You'll see a bar with 'DO NOT ENTER' - then enter and keep walking. When you get to the farthest end, look for the basketball court and turn left. You'll see a small path that will take you to the Ldies Pagoda. You have to exit to get to the Northern Gate (around the corner)
