Vietnam National Day 2022
This Doodle’s Key Themes
Today’s Doodle celebrates Vietnam National Day! On this day in 1945, the Declaration of Independence of Vietnam was read aloud to the public, officially recognizing Vietnam as a sovereign nation.
On National Day, citizens are given a day off from work to celebrate this public holiday. Red and yellow banners line the streets to commemorate the holiday, and Vietnam’s National Flag is displayed on every corner of the country. Vibrant firework shows and local parades are also enjoyed in Ba Đình Square and other cities across the nation.
Today’s artwork features Vietnam’s mythical national bird, the chim lac. Chim lac most closely resembles the crane with its long beak and can be found as intricate decorations on traditional Dong Son bronze drums.
Happy National Day, Vietnam!
