According to the Organizing Committee, this is the third time the record-breaking car formation program has taken place in Vietnam. In this event, a total of 1,700 cars from all over the country participated.
The parking location is a tourist area in Do Son district, Hai Phong city. The program aims to promote the image, people, and tourism products of Hai Phong city.
Before that, to prepare the best ground for this event, the construction team quickly transported and pumped more than 700,000 cubic meters of sand, creating a 16-hectare flat surface enough for 1,700 cars to move and form shapes.

According to the records, the weather these past few days has been unfavorable, with heavy rain making the ground muddy and slippery. However, the members of the program have supported each other to the fullest to complete the record-breaking Vietnam map.
By the afternoon of July 9, the map of Vietnam had been completed with the S-shaped mainland and the Truong Sa and Hoang Sa archipelagos. All members participating in the program performed the flag-raising ceremony and sang the national anthem.
