The moment when soldiers marched into Hanoi on October 10, 1954, has been vividly recreated on the wall along Phung Hung Street, evoking a sense of pride and emotion among the public.
In celebration of the 70th anniversary of the capital's liberation and the 25th anniversary of Hanoi being designated a "City for Peace" by UNESCO, the Hoan Kiem District People's Committee organized the "Memories of Hanoi - 70 Years" program to recreate the atmosphere of the city during the period from 1947 to 1954.

The program aims to introduce both residents and tourists to a significant historical period of the nation, fostering a sense of pride and encouraging citizens to engage in meaningful actions that contribute to the construction of the capital.
As the highlight of this series of activities, Hoan Kiem District, in collaboration with Xua va Nay (Past and Present) Magazine, organized an archival photo exhibition titled "Hoan Kiem District - Historical Images." This exhibition showcases vintage photographs of Hoan Kiem District during a decade filled with challenges and triumphs, spanning from the August Revolution in 1945 to the liberation of the capital on October 10, 1954.
