For the first time, the people of Ho Chi Minh City witnessed such a huge number of spectators watching the parade. All the roads in the four branches where the parade passed were flooded with the red color of national costumes and flags. The convoy of vehicles carrying the soldiers after the parade ended was also congested for many hours in the sea of people.

A hotel on Ton Duc Thang Street attracts a lot of guests booking to watch the parade from above. The place where you can watch the cannons fire and the point near the end where the soldiers gather and board the bus has a ticket price of 600,000 VND - 1.2 million VND/person including breakfast and dinner.

At 8:10 a.m., after the helicopters raised the flag over the stage, the Su30Mk2s began their performance, dropping heat traps in the sky, making hundreds of thousands of people admire. Photo: Hoang Ha - The Bang - Nguyen Hue .

The parade blocks are expected to start from Le Duan Street, in front of Thong Nhat Hall, then split into four directions to the assembly points. The flag block, commanded by Lieutenant General Nguyen Quang Ngoc, Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Vietnam People's Army, will turn towards Nguyen Hue walking street and then turn around to Ton Duc Thang Street to reach Bach Dang Wharf.
