"My first time in Ho Chi Minh City coincided with a special occasion, and I was overwhelmed to see the city filled with red flags bearing the yellow star. The girls wearing ao dai and conical hats looked very beautiful," Alvin shared.

Sharing in the joy of reunification

Sharing the joy of so many people heading to Ho Chi Minh City for the April 30th holiday, Alvin shared: "Although the journey was a bit difficult, I feel very happy to have come to Vietnam at this time. I plan to take more photos at Tan Dinh Church, watch the parade rehearsal tomorrow..."

At the Reunification Hall area, Nguyen Quang Dung (25 years old) and Phung Quang Anh (27 years old, both from Hanoi ) eagerly took photos in front of the podium. Dung boasted that he had watched the parade rehearsal on the evening of April 25th.

"Despite the heavy rain, I witnessed a heartwarming display of solidarity between the military and the people. I saw a soldier giving his raincoat to a civilian. It was a small moment, but it deeply moved me," Dung expressed.

Quang Anh shared that they arrived in Ho Chi Minh City on April 23rd for work, but coincidentally, it coincided with the city's bustling preparations for the National Reunification Day. "Ho Chi Minh City is very vibrant. The people are very enthusiastic. Although I've been to the city named after President Ho Chi Minh many times, this is probably the most special occasion for me because it only happens once every 50 years. We plan to watch the fireworks, drones, and take lots of photos during the national concert," Quang Anh said.

Meanwhile, Ms. Vo Thi Bich Phung (36 years old), along with her two cousins Pham Que Nhi (36 years old) and Ngo Thi Tuyet (44 years old, both from Lai Thieu, Binh Duong ), drove to Ho Chi Minh City to join in the atmosphere of this once-in-50-years event.

Bich Phung shared that her family had to arrange their schedules for a long time so that the sisters could reunite on this special occasion. "We plan to go to the Reunification Hall, Bach Dang Wharf... to join in the atmosphere. On April 30th, the sisters will also drive to Ho Chi Minh City to watch the parade," Phung revealed.

To instill more patriotism in the children.

Sharing in the festive spirit, 16 members, including 7 teachers and 9 students from Hoa Mai Kindergarten (Hung Loc commune, Thong Nhat district, Dong Nai province), also booked transportation to Ho Chi Minh City to celebrate this special holiday. Teacher Tran Thi Ngoc Nu said that all 9 students are children of the teachers at her school. They went on a family trip hoping the children would experience and learn about the heroic and meaningful atmosphere of Ho Chi Minh City during the April 30th holiday.

"Today we went to the City Theater, the Reunification Hall, and Bach Dang Wharf to watch the fireworks... On April 30th, everyone plans to go to Ho Chi Minh City again to share in the atmosphere of the National Reunification Day. We've brought flags and red and yellow star-themed costumes for both adults and children. Ho Chi Minh City is so beautiful, and we hope other tourists will also enjoy the experience here on April 30th," Ms. Nu shared.

Passing by the Reunification Hall, the children happened to see the soldiers arriving at the ceremonial platform to prepare. They excitedly cheered and pointed at the soldiers. "After watching videos online and seeing the soldiers in real life, many children told me that they want to be soldiers when they grow up. I think this is a special occasion for the children to learn about our country's history and ignite a strong sense of patriotism...", Ms. Nu said.
