Addressing the event, Chairman of the People’s Committee of Dong Da district Vo Nguyen Phong highlighted the significance of the Ngoc Hoi - Dong Da victory under the leadership of Emperor Quang Trung (also known as national hero Nguyen Hue) 229 years ago, during which over 20,000 Qing troops were defeated, liberating the imperial city of Thang Long and regaining national independence and freedom.

Since then, the fifth day of the first lunar month has become the traditional day marking the historic victory. The Ngoc Hoi - Dong Da victory has also gone down in Vietnamese history as an immortal and epic struggle for national construction and defence. Dong Da Mound reportedly witnessed fierce battles between Emperor Quang Trung’s soldiers and the Chinese invaders 229 years ago.

The festival is designed to uphold the country’s cultural values, while educating young generations about the tradition of patriotism and national pride. This year’s festival also included a “Tuong” (classical drama) play re-enacting the victory, and dragon dancing, art performances, and folk games.
