Planning a trip to Singapore and Malaysia for the National Day holiday, Ngoc Nam convinced her family to postpone until New Year's 2026 to witness the historic parade.
Due to a tropical depression that may intensify into a typhoon in the East Sea, Ho Chi Minh City and the southern region are forecast to experience heavy rain during the four-day National Day holiday.
With the National Day holiday spanning four days this year, passenger numbers at three major bus terminals in Ho Chi Minh City are expected to increase, and ticket prices are allowed to increase by up to 40% to offset the cost of empty return trips.
