In the days leading up to the anniversary of the Liberation of the South and national reunification on April 30, Ba Dinh Square area attracted a large number of people and tourists to visit and take photos.
Many young people choose traditional ao dai, combined with red accessories to preserve meaningful moments, and at the same time spread patriotism in their own way.
Ms. Tran Ngoc Diem (tourist from Ho Chi Minh City) shared that this trip to Hanoi coincides with a major holiday, so she prepared ao dai costumes to take photos at Uncle Ho's Mausoleum.
Ao dai is a very beautiful traditional feature of Vietnamese people. I want to combine more symbolic accessories to capture memorable moments. I see that young people today love traditional values and often express them through taking photos and sharing them on social networks to spread more widely," Ms. Diem said.
Meanwhile, Ms. Nguyen Cam Ly (Hanoi) believes that choosing ao dai on this occasion has special meaning.
Today I chose ao dai to take commemorative photos on April 30th. When wearing ao dai, I feel proud and honored to be Vietnamese. I hope young people always maintain their patriotism and national pride, especially on important anniversaries like this," Ms. Ly shared.
Not only young people, but also many tourists of different generations are participating in this trend. Ms. Thieu Thi Huong (a tourist from Hue City) said that it has been a long time since she had the opportunity to return to Uncle Ho's Mausoleum.
Coming to places with historical significance like this, I think we should dress seriously. I still like to wear ao dai to show respect and pride in being Vietnamese," Ms. Huong said.
The closer to the holiday, the more people flock to historical landmarks in Hanoi.
Taking commemorative photos is not only simply preserving everyday moments, but also contributing to bringing historical values to life, while also showing the new and creative approach of the young generation to national traditions.
