This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for people and visitors to directly experience the proud historic atmosphere.<br>If you also plan to join, here are some helpful tips I gathered after attending the first rehearsal \u2013 they\u2019ll surely make your experience more complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Transportation \u2013 Metro Is the Best Option<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-x-small-font-size\">\n<li>Use public transportation such as metro or buses to avoid traffic jams.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The metro is the most convenient choice: fast, hassle-free, and stops right at Cat Linh station. From there, it\u2019s just a short walk to Hung Vuong Street.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Important tip:<\/strong> Buy your return ticket in advance. Otherwise, you\u2019ll have to queue for a long time after the parade.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Taxis or ride-hailing services are nearly impossible due to roadblocks and heavy congestion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1365\" height=\"2048\"

arrive in the morning or early afternoon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For morning shows: you\u2019ll need someone to reserve a spot from the night before.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After 5\u20136 PM, security forces will clear the road, and latecomers won\u2019t be allowed into the central area.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-x-small-font-size\">\ud83d\udc49 Hard-earned lesson: If you don\u2019t reserve early, it\u2019s almost impossible to get a good view<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-x-small-font-size\"><strong>Best Viewing Spots<\/strong><br>Hung Vuong Street (especially at intersections):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
