Arriving at the National Historical and Cultural Relic of Thong Nhat Hall very early, Le Thi Thu Trang, a 10th grade student at Tenloman High School, said she was very excited and delighted with the atmosphere today.

Instead of choosing to have fun at famous tourist attractions, Trang and her group of friends decided to visit historical sites in the city on this holiday. Although they had to wait in line for a long time to buy tickets, the group of friends felt very comfortable. "We usually go out for fun, rarely visit and review the history of the nation. Occasions like this will help me gain more useful knowledge. If we have a student card, we can also get a 50% discount on tickets" - Trang excitedly shared.

"I prepared the ao dai and put on makeup since 6am. The weather in Ho Chi Minh City today is very cool, very suitable for sightseeing and taking outdoor photos" - Huyen Khanh, a student at Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry, said.

As a student majoring in History at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, VNU-HCM, Trinh Thuy Trang said that visiting historical sites helps to visualize the heroic history of the nation. "On normal days, I often live in a hurry with many "deadlines", holidays like this are an opportunity for me to slow down and have more time to "recharge my batteries" - Thuy Trang expressed.
