On the morning of April 30, at famous tourist attractions, the number of tourists gradually increased but there was no jostling or pushing.

At the top of Fansipan, the "roof of Indochina" (3,143 m high), at exactly 10:00 a.m. on April 30, the flag-raising ceremony at the tallest flagpole in Vietnam took place.

Before that solemn moment, visitors enjoyed a special art performance called "Flags of the Border Region" - recreating proud memories of the journey to defend the country, overcome the consequences of war and build the Fansipan cable car.

At the cable car waiting room to Cat Ba ( Hai Phong ) , thousands of people and tourists lined up to go to Cat Ba Island. The number of passengers is expected to be larger than last year's holiday.

Meanwhile, in Quang Ninh , on the first day of the April 30 holiday, for the first time, this locality welcomed nearly 1,700 Japanese tourists arriving at Ha Long international passenger port by the international cruise ship Pacific World.

This is also the first charter ship to bring passengers from Japan to Ha Long, opening a new step in the strategy to attract high-quality international tourists.

On the morning of April 30, at Ba Den Mountain (over 900m high in Tay Ninh) - the highest mountain in the South, many tourists were given shirts and red flags with yellow stars to pray for peace and make offerings.

In Da Nang , any tourist wearing a red flag with a yellow star to Ba Na Hills on April 30 will receive a ticket to visit the Wax Museum and a voucher for a 500ml beer.
