Dong Da Mound Festival has existed for a long time. In 1962, the State recognized Dong Da Mound as a national historical-cultural relic, giving cultural activities more conditions to develop systematically.

On the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the Ngoc Hoi-Dong Da victory (1789-1989), our Party and State decided to establish Dong Da Cultural Park.

Since then, the constructions in Dong Da Mound have been successively restored, embellished, built solidly and spaciously, and cultural, sports and spiritual activities have developed more strongly...
