A Quick Guide to ... Events in Vietnam
Vietnam, a densely populated country in the Far East, puts emphasis in showcasing native talent and culture through festival celebrations. Events in Vietnam that attract visitors from all over the world include the Ba Chua Xu festival, the Cau Ngu Festival and the Do Son Buffalo Fighting. This year, Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam, is one of the Top Destinations of the world, according to the Frommer's travel guide. This is not surprising, considering that Hanoi is celebrating is 1000th year of existence. After a millennium full of history and progress, the city is ready, more than ever, to let the world witness its magnificent celebrations, entitled "1000 Years of Thang Long-Hanoi". For travellers and tourists, now is the time to get that plane ticket and enjoy the sights, sounds, and events Vietnam has to offer.
Hanoi's 1000th year celebrations started on October 1 this year, by a ceremony at the Ly Thai Ho Flower Garden. In this event, the UNESCO General Director Irina Bokova awarded a certificate which recognized the Than Long Royal Citadel as one of the World Cultural Heritage sites. Other events in Vietnam which were celebrated include the opening of the Hanoi Picture exhibition, release of the Thang Long – Hanoi history/documentary film, opening of the Capital Cup, Flying Kites Festival, Carnival of Artist Troupes, Theatre Festival, International Art Festival and Dragon Dance Festival.
On October 10, a grand meeting and a large parade occurred at Ba Dinh Square, which was attended by the top officials of the government, ambassadors, and representatives from international states, state heroes and veterans and about 40,000 people. The highlight was on the achievements of Hanoi and its people during its thousand-year history.
In Hanoi, the Tourist Information Center provides informative English advice and limited free internet. The Hanoi citizens understand the importance of tourism and are friendly to strangers. When visitors go there during spring, they can participate in the Tet Holiday, which is held during the Lunar New Year's Eve. Summer is not friendly to tourists, because the heat is quite intolerable and mosquitoes proliferate. Hanoi's autumn is very unique. It is less humid and colder and one can witness the flowering of the cay hoa sua, a tree which only blooms during this season.
There are a lot of places people can visit in Vietnam. Aside from the Thang Long Royal Citadel and the Ly Thai Ho Flower garden, the place has a lot of museums, temples, and marketplaces. It is easy to get to the Ho Chi Minh Museum and Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and visit the One-Pillar Pagoda on the side. The distinctly military history of the city is reflected by a lot of sites dedicated to showcasing military pieces, as exemplified by the Fine Arts Museum and the Air Force Museum and Army Museum. Portrayal of the events Vietnam had to go through when it struggled against the French and the Americans can be seen at the Museum of Vietnamese Revolution while the culture and rituals of the whole Vietnam are exhibited at the Museum of Ethnology.
Hanoi has several scenic views including the Hoan Kiem Lake, the Ho Tay- West Lake and the Hanoi Ceramic Mosaic along the Red River, where visitors can go for relaxation and picture-taking. Indeed, no one is going to be bored while visiting Vietnam.
