Small alley in Ho Chi Minh City is bright with red flags with yellow stars, young people eagerly take souvenir photos

Alley 193 Nam Ky Khoi Nghia (District 3) is attracting many young people to take pictures with large printed national and party flags hanging on the wall. These flags were decorated by a coffee shop to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the liberation of the South and national reunification.

This small alley was decorated not long ago and quickly spread, attracting nearly a hundred visitors every day. Most young people come here in the morning to feel more comfortable and catch the best light.

According to Yen Nhi (Binh Thanh District), images and videos with the red flag with yellow star posted on social networks aim to spread patriotism and national pride, especially during these historic April days.

Huynh Mai Ngoc Yen (District 12) braided her hair and wrapped a checkered scarf, recreating the image of a female guerrilla from the South. She shared that the blue ao dai she wore was usually only worn during local group activities, but on the occasion of the upcoming big holiday, Ngoc Yen will wear it to participate.

"I'm really looking forward to April 30," Yen added.

On the weekend, Hong Vy and Ngoc Uyen (Tan Binh District) went to the alley to take pictures and were surprised by the space here. Vy shared: "Most other alleys only hang small flags, but the large flags here are very prominent, shining brightly along the long wall, helping me to take pictures of the national flag."

In particular, the owner of the coffee shop here also hung a map of Vietnam more than 2 meters high in the space of the shop, attracting young people who want to check in. According to the shop staff, decorating the red flag with a yellow star and the map of Vietnam not only creates a beautiful space but also evokes national pride.

According to the manager, although the shop is located in an alley, since redecorating the space and changing the menu with drinks bearing the symbol of the sacred red flag with yellow star, the number of customers coming to the shop has increased 3-4 times compared to before.

The bartender said the red and yellow colors used for decoration are fruit powder. Each glass of drink costs from 55,000 VND.

Ngoc Giau (Go Vap District) happily captured memorable moments with her friends. She shared: "In addition to photos with the red flag with yellow star, accessories with images of Vietnam also help spread the spirit of connection of the younger generation with history in a more intimate and modern way.

This is not only a trend on social networks, but also shows national spirit, pride and gratitude for historical values."

Many families and young people wear T-shirts with messages such as: "Independence - Freedom", "Love the Fatherland, Love the People" or with the red flag with yellow star to go out and take pictures.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the country's reunification, many streets, alleys and residential areas in Ho Chi Minh City have hung red flags with yellow stars and the Party flag, creating an atmosphere of pride and excitement.
