A festival was held in Dong Da ward on February 21, the fifth day of the first lunar month of the Year of the Horse, to mark the 237th anniversary of the Ngoc Hoi – Dong Da Victory (1789–2026), a landmark triumph in Vietnam’s struggle against foreign invasion. The victory, led by national hero Emperor Quang Trung (also known as national hero Nguyen Hue) and the Tay Son troops, saw the swift defeat of Qing invaders during the spring of 1789, securing the nation’s independence and leaving an enduring legacy in Vietnamese history.
