This date celebrates two important anniversaries, the Declaration of Independence of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in 1945 and the death of Ho Chi Minh. The celebrations in Hanoi, including a fireworks display, take place in Ba Dinh Square in front of Ho Chi Minh’s Mausoleum, and it seems that the whole of Hanoi takes to the streets, particularly around Hoan Kiem Lake.
