On Nguyen Hue walking street, 100 photos with the theme "From the era of independence and national unification to the era of national rise" are displayed, recreating the spirit of the August Revolution in 1945, the birth of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, and the journey of fighting for independence and national unification. The highlight is the image of more than one million people in Saigon - Cho Lon and the southern provinces taking to the streets to seize power on August 25, 1945, contributing to the victory of the August Revolution.

On Dong Khoi Street, in front of the Department of Culture and Sports of Ho Chi Minh City, the exhibition displays 70 photos with the theme "Ho Chi Minh City confidently moves towards a new era", reflecting the strong development of Ho Chi Minh City in all fields, with the aspiration to become a modern metropolis, the leading economic and financial center of the country and the region.

Opposite Chi Lang Park, the exhibition space with the theme “Colors of culture and tourism of Ho Chi Minh City” introduces the natural beauty, people, historical and cultural heritage and typical tourism products, contributing to promoting the image of a dynamic, friendly and hospitable city.

Young people visit and learn about history through the exhibition.

The exhibition is a political and cultural activity of profound significance, contributing to reviewing the glorious revolutionary tradition of the nation, while affirming the achievements and development aspirations of Ho Chi Minh City in the new era.

80 years have passed, but the echoes of the Declaration of Independence still resound across the mountains and rivers, engraved in the hearts of every Vietnamese person, urging successive generations to firmly follow the path chosen by the Party and Uncle Ho.

The spirit of uprising of the August Revolution continued to be promoted in two great resistance wars against French colonialism and American imperialism, leading the nation to the great spring victory of 1975, reuniting the country.

Since then, under the leadership of the Party, the entire nation has joined hands to build the country, especially in nearly 40 years of renovation with many comprehensive achievements, affirming Vietnam's increasingly high position and prestige in the international arena.
