3 Independence Day Activities
Vietnamese Independence Day is also called Vietnam’s National Day. On this date, the Vietnamese have 2 days off to commemorate heroic people who lost their lives in war to retain recent Vietnam’s independence. In 2022, they will have 3 to 4 days off because Vietnam’s National Day falls on the weekend. If you work in Vietnam teaching jobs, you also have 3 – 4 rest days followed by Vietnam’s government.
As usual, the Vietnamese exploit those days for relaxing or caring for their family. How will you plan to experience this occasion? Here are some activities that you can participate in at this time.
- Organize a trip to a historical place in Ho Chi Minh City
Ho Chi Minh City has a variety of historical destinations that help you discover Vietnam’s history, such as the War Remnants Museum, the Museum of Ho Chi Minh City, and Cu Chi Tunnels (nearing HCMC).
These places provide much information about the Vietnam war and Vietnam’s history, which aids you in enlarging your knowledge about this country and people here. Furthermore, historical destinations are to memorialize those people who sacrificed their lives for national independence.
