Tay Ninh: Sacred flag-raising ceremony, "unique" leaf market on the roof of the Southern region
In the last days of August, Ba Den Mountain is brilliant with red flags and flowers, stretching from the foot of the mountain to the top. On the occasion of National Day September 2nd, this place opens a journey combining culture, history and spirituality, with emotional experiences on the highest mountain in the South.
The highlight of Independence Day is the flag raising ceremony on the morning of September 2nd at the mountain peak square. In the majestic mountain space, the moment the red flag with a yellow star flutters in the clouds brings a sacred feeling, helping visitors to join the atmosphere of National Day September 2nd and feel national pride on the "roof of the Southern region".
Accordingly, the exhibition "Ceramic Paintings - Sounds of the World" taking place from now until the end of September 30th introduces hundreds of ceramic statues of chú tiểu crafted by artist Nguyen Tuan and Phu Lang artisans, taking visitors into a peaceful meditation space.
Ba Den Mountain Leaf Market takes place on two days, September 1-2, bringing a unique Southern experience. At this unique market, visitors can enjoy local dishes and specialties without using money, instead of leaves used as a special "coin".
The atmosphere of Independence Day is also extended with "Food Frontline", where simple dishes from the subsidy period remind of a difficult time, and the exhibition "Proud Memories" recreating history through wartime memorabilia.
