Happy independence day to all Vietnamese friend !!!!
For me, I go to Vung tau beach to meet some old friends and enjoy a party ! it was good ! how do you celebrate ?
I will celebrate Vietnamese Independence Day because this is truly a day of substance.
During this time period, Ho Chi Minh was actively assisting Allied forces in rescuing downed pilots from the Axis forces.
Vietnam Independence Day presents an unmissable opportunity to enjoy some spectacular Vietnamese cuisine. Traditional Vietnamese cooking is celebrated because of the freshness of the dishes made.
On September 2nd 1945 Ho Chi Minh took to a podium in Hanoi, and declared independence from the French. It was a bold, bold action that sparked a decades long war for Independence and the death of million of citizens.
The Vietnamese lost millions in a 30 year war for independence. It has left them fiercly patriotic and proud to be an independent nation.
Every 2nd of September is an opportunity to celebrate that. If you’re in Vietnam make the most of it. Go out into the street and party alongside them.
To celebrate Independence Day 2016, Hanoi’s government announced new weekend walking streets and a later 2am alcohol license for all bars and restaurants.
From 2nd September, every Friday, Saturday and Sunday most of the streets around Hoan Kiem Lake will be shut off to traffic and bars, clubs and restaurants can stay open until 2am in the morning. It’s going to be fun :)
