Now, let's make a try to translate into English this article. We'll begin with a sentence initiated by me and we'll continue to translate to the last (sentence) one by one

the article is on Ha Noi, the capital of Vietnam
I begin with two frist sentences.

1. Hà Nội là nơi ghi dấu ngàn năm lịch sử
2.Ba mươi sáu phố phường Hà Nội mà khắp nơi đều biết tiếng, trong đó phố Hàng Bạc chỉ là một điển hình, hãy còn rất sống động và rực rỡ.
1. Hà Nội is a place which speaks of 1,000 years of history
2.Its famous "36 streets" _Hang Bac (silvery street) is but one example_ are still much alive and vibrant.

2. One of the most popular of 36 streets of Ha Noi is Hang Bac where is still animated and bright.

a thousand-year history/ history of a thousand years.

Hanoi was set up around 1000 years ago by Li Cong Uan

My try:
1. Ha Noi is a remarkable place with its thousands year history.

I think your opinion of this sentence is not true.

I like rukkhamula's sentence:
"Hanoi is a place with a thousand years of recorded history".
I still have a question about the possessive case:
- its thousands year history (dethuong_x0x )
- Its well-known 'thirty-six streets' (rukkhamula)
Is it true? Because we only use the form noun's + noun for people or animal.

You misunderstand him:
Its well-know 'thirty-six year streets' = Its well-know "thirty-six year street"
The first is American English style, the second is British English

Oops, 'is being threated' was a typing error, it should of course be 'is being threatened'. Thanks for bringing that to my attention, english learner. I have changed it in the original post.

But 'of which' is correct, not 'where'.

On another point raised here, 'thousand-year history' is the correct form, if one wants to express it that way. It is a compound adjective and requires a hyphen. It is an alternative to 'a thousand years of history'.
