Young girls wearing ao dai and flag shirts, children wearing white shirts and red scarves... along the sidewalk on Doc Lap Street, in front of Ba Dinh Square, bustling on the first day of the National Day holiday on September 2. Dressed in ao dai, Hai Anh (Cau Giay District, Hanoi) said that she and two friends woke up at 5am to put on makeup, prepare their costumes and arrived at Ba Dinh Square at 7am. "Last night, we also came to watch the flag lowering ceremony, but because it was so crowded, we couldn't see it, which was quite regretful. We have all been in Hanoi for 5-6 years now, but in previous years, because of our busy schedules and going back to our hometowns, we never had the opportunity to take photos to celebrate National Day.

Preschool teachers who study dance from all over the provinces took advantage of the holiday to have a class reunion and record moments of this special occasion. "Our group has people from Vinh Phuc, Thanh Hoa, Bac Ninh, Bac Giang, Thai Binh... Ba Dinh Square is the first stop on our group's holiday trip. After that, we might go to Thang Long Imperial Citadel, Phan Dinh Phung Street, and enjoy the autumn specialty of Hanoi's green rice," said Ms. Hien (Dong Anh District, Hanoi).

Many children were also brought by their parents to visit Uncle Ho's mausoleum to learn about the place where Uncle Ho read the Declaration of Independence 79 years ago. According to many parents, taking their children to visit Uncle Ho's mausoleum on major national holidays is not only to take souvenir photos but also an opportunity to educate and foster patriotism and national pride in their children. On this occasion, Ms. Bui Thi Lien's family (Dong Anh district, Hanoi) went to Uncle Ho's mausoleum together and took photos to celebrate National Day September 2. "Today, my family has 5 members visiting Uncle Ho's mausoleum. The youngest member is my nephew, who is 2 years old this year. For me, the National Day of the country is a very meaningful occasion, I want to come and join the movement of taking photos to celebrate this major holiday," Ms. Lien confided.
