Exploring Vibrant Ho Chi Minh City: Vietnam Flags Adorn Streets for Reunification & Labor Day
What is Vietnam Reunification Day?
Reunification Day (30/4), also known as Victory Day or Liberation Day, is a public holiday in Vietnam. It commemorates the capture of Saigon, now Ho Chi Minh City, by North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces on April 30, 1975, marking the end of the Vietnam War. This event led to the reunification of North and South Vietnam through a national election on July 2, 1976, forming the modern-day Vietnam.
