Cannons ready to welcome the April 30th ceremony at Bach Dang wharf

15 cannons deployed at Bach Dang wharf area (District 1) will fire 21 cannon shots to the Vietnamese National Anthem on the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of National Reunification Day.

On the morning of April 7, 15 cannons were installed on the red carpet along the Saigon River (Bach Dang Wharf area). This is one of the highlights of the 50th Anniversary of National Reunification Day.

The cannons are located in the park, opposite Nguyen Hue walking street, to ensure clear views and a solemn atmosphere, while allowing people and tourists to visit.

15 105mm guns, each gun weighs about 4 - 5 tons.

These cannons will fire 21 cannon shots to the Vietnamese National Anthem on the 50th anniversary of national reunification.

The area around the artillery site is carefully fenced and strictly controlled, ensuring absolute security for the entire preparation process. Currently, people are allowed to take souvenir photos with the artillery but are not allowed to approach or touch the artifacts.

According to technical requirements, the artillery position must be placed on a solid flat surface to create a uniform explosion when fired. A soldier is checking the alignment.

In parallel with the artillery installation work, auxiliary items such as setting up field tents are being carried out.

As planned, the 50th anniversary of the country's reunification will take place solemnly with a parade gathering about 13,000 participants, 21 cannon shots fired to the Vietnamese National Anthem and a welcome flyover by the air force with helicopters, Yak-130, Su-30MK2.

To facilitate the installation process, traffic will be restricted on five roads from 9 p.m. to midnight or 3 a.m. the following day, from April 7 to 26. On April 27 and 30, traffic will be restricted on the roads during the day.
