Ngoc Hoi – Dong Da Victory marked

A ceremony was held at Quang Trung museum, located in Phu Phong town, Tay Son district, on February 4, marking the 233rd anniversary of the Ngoc Hoi-Dong Da victory, over the Chinese Qing invaders.

In 1789, under the leadership of Emperor Quang Trung (also known as national hero Nguyen Hue), Tay Son troops defeated 20,000 Qing invaders, liberating the imperial city of Thang Long and regaining national independence and freedom.

An art show was performed at the ceremony

Since then, the fifth day of the first lunar month has become the traditional day marking this 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, 233 years ago.
