Dong Da mound festival or often shortened to Dong Da festival. Surely many people will have the same question: when is Dong Da festival held? Where is Dong Da Festival held? In fact, this is a traditional early spring festival held at Dong Da mound, Quang Trung ward, Dong Da district, Hanoi. The festival takes place on the 5th day of the Lunar New Year every year.
Dong Da Mound is a historical attraction located on Tay Son street of Hanoi Capital. This is the place where our nation witnessed the bloody battle with the invading Qing army. At this time, the man who ascended the throne, hero Nguyen Hue, ordered troops to the North to regain national independence.
On the night of the 4th and 5th of the Year of the Rooster, Quang Trung led the Tay Son army to attack the enemy post at Khuong Thuong. The leader of the Qing invaders had to commit suicide soon after. This is a glorious victory of the nation and also a testament to the humiliating end of the invaders.
To recognize the merits of cloth-shirted hero Nguyen Hue and his comrades, people organized the Dong Da Mound Festival every year to commemorate their gratitude and celebrate this glorious victory.
