Cafes adorned with vibrant red flags.

In April, the whole country looked forward to the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of Southern Vietnam and the Reunification of the Country (April 30, 1975 - April 30, 2025). Throughout the streets and corners of Phu Tho province, many cafes were brightly decorated with the colors of the Party flag, the national flag, and the Liberation flag in anticipation of this important occasion.

Upon arriving at the entrance of Xóm Cafe in Viet Tri city, many customers are amazed by the sight of countless rows of Party flags and red flags with yellow stars fluttering in the wind, creating a vibrant and dignified scene. Notably, each glass of water served to customers is cleverly adorned with an image of the national flag.

Ms. Thuong Thuong from Cao Xa commune, Lam Thao district, shared: “Last weekend, my family and I visited the coffee village and I was very impressed with the vibrant atmosphere adorned with flags. As soon as I entered the cafe, a very special feeling welled up inside me – a sense of pride and love for my homeland. Especially as April 30th approaches, being immersed in this historically significant and nationalistic atmosphere makes me appreciate even more what our ancestors fought and sacrificed to regain independence for the country. It is a sacred milestone for the entire nation.”

While it's still the same familiar drinks, this time, customers visiting Hyotan Tea & Coffee in Viet Tri City will be served beverages shaped like the national flag. The red color of the flag not only evokes heroic memories but also helps the younger generation better understand an important period in the nation's history. Ms. Phung Huong, the owner, shared: “With the desire to celebrate the anniversary of the liberation of the South and the reunification of the country, the shop has received enthusiastic support from many young people. We hope to contribute to spreading patriotism and national pride through every detail of the decorations and activities here. For me personally, patriotism is not a trend, but something that lasts forever. I want to spread that message to everyone.”

At Thanh Son Cafe in Thanh Son town, Thanh Son district, the Party flag and the national flag are also brightly decorated. In the stilt house setting, the harmonious arrangement of colors and light makes the place not only imbued with national spirit and patriotism but also an ideal spot for customers to take photos during this special holiday. Ms. Thu Hien, the owner, said: "The cafe had planned the decorations for the April 30th holiday beforehand, hoping to inspire young people with love for their homeland and not forget the difficult and arduous but also very proud periods of our nation's history. Since the idea became a reality, I'm very happy that the cafe has been strongly welcomed and appreciated by many young people, and even older customers who come to take photos and express their delight at the cafe's vibrant atmosphere."

In the beautifully decorated spaces, along with familiar drinks and pastries adorned with the red flag, each visitor feels a growing sense of pride in Vietnam and its people. Now, cafes are not simply places to enjoy delicious drinks or meet friends; they have become ideal destinations and special cultural spaces for people to "check in" during the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and the reunification of the country. The image of the Party flag, the red flag with a yellow star, proudly carries the pride and connects the hearts of millions of Vietnamese people towards this momentous historical national holiday.
