The celebration marks Hanoi's 70 years of development since the people's army took over the city from French colonialists to its today development.

Kicked off on October 6 at Hoan Kiem Lake, the "Cultural Festival for Peace" program celebrates the 70th anniversary of the Liberation of the City (October 10, 1954 - 2024) and the 25th anniversary of the UNESCO's "City for Peace" designation for Hanoi. 

A key highlight will be the reenactment of the historic moment on October 10, 1954, when the triumphant army marched into the capital amidst a sea of flags, flowers, and jubilation, marking the end of nine years of grueling resistance against a formidable enemy. 

The Hanoi Times' reporters Duy Khanh, Thanh Hai, Pham Hung, and Lai Tan are honored to introduce the vivid celebration this morning.
