QUẢNG NINH — In an event held on Sunday along the shores of Bái Tử Long Bay, Cẩm Phả City, the northeastern province of Quảng Ninh, 500 students gathered to create a formation resembling the map of Việt Nam and the national flag, marking a meaningful celebration of national pride and unity.

The activity, organised as part of commemorations for the upcoming Reunification Day (April 30) and International Labour Day (May 1), aimed to foster patriotism among the younger generation and highlight the importance of Việt Nam's territorial integrity.

The vibrant display drew attention from locals and tourists alike, serving as a powerful visual tribute to Việt Nam's history and sovereignty.
