It was a most monumental day in the history of Vietnam when the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese troops captured Saigon on the 30th of April 1975 as it signaled the end of a brutal war and started the transition period toward reunification. 40 years later the day is still celebrated with much reverence and celebration and if you’re staying in Ho Chi Minh City which is modern-day Saigon at serviced apartments Ho Chi Minh like the renownedSomerset Vista Ho Chi Minh City, you will also get to witness and join in the celebrations of a landmark of Vietnam’s history.

On Liberation Day, which is a public holiday in Vietnam, the entire nation vibrates with a great sense of patriotism and expresses this great sentiment by decorating their homes, shops and entire streets with colorful banners, flags and dazzling neon lights. There are many memorial programs and music shows held to commemorate the day. The main streets of Ho Chi Minh City run alive with parades that are attended by many. Firecrackers reverberate through the air while the night sky is filled with stunning firework shows.
