In its first three days (28-30/8), the "80 Years of Independence - Freedom - Happiness" national achievement exhibition at VEC attracted over 1.18 million visitors. |
 |
On the third day alone, the event recorded 650,000 visitors. |
 |
The indoor and outdoor exhibition spaces, totaling nearly 260,000 square meters, are modern and offer various amenities, leaving visitors impressed and delighted. |
 |
VEC and the exhibition organizers set up 12 information desks, both indoors and outdoors, to welcome domestic and international visitors. |
Many visitors were impressed by the parking lot, divided into five zones with a total area of 18 hectares and a capacity of 10,000 vehicles. Electric vehicle charging is free in the parking area.
"I came by electric car and not only was the charging free, but the staff were also very helpful," Quang Minh, 38, from Hanoi, shared. "Despite some traffic on the way, everything was so convenient upon arrival that any fatigue disappeared. My family immediately started our pre-planned exploration."
 |
Nearly 2,000 receptionists and volunteers are available 24/7 to answer questions and provide detailed guidance, ensuring a smooth experience for visitors at VEC. |
 |
To facilitate easy movement to the outdoor exhibition areas, the organizers arranged two free internal electric car routes. These transport visitors from the parking lot, their first stop, to the halls of the Kim Quy Exhibition House and the outdoor exhibition area. This allows visitors to save travel time, maximize their engagement with the exhibition content, and fully explore VEC. |
 |
VEC also offers indoor and outdoor dining services. Inside, on the second floor of the main hall, four food courts feature many familiar brands where visitors can relax and recharge. Additionally, the first floor of Building A in the Kim Quy Exhibition House and the booths of various localities showcase OCOP (One Commune One Product) specialties from the three regions of Vietnam. |
 |
With about 100 events and experiential activities daily, and hundreds of booths indoors and outdoors, VEC offers numerous photo opportunities. Young people often visit the science and technology area, which features intelligent robots, interactive screens, and virtual reality applications. |
 |
Families have a dedicated space to bond with their children, including a large playground and many experiential areas combining education, technology, and entertainment. |
Outdoors, visitors can stop at the North and West courtyards, where over 114 food kiosks offer refreshments. In the West courtyard, the "North-South Culinary Train" takes visitors on a culinary journey through Vietnam with hundreds of delicacies from 34 provinces and cities.
VEC also features spacious public areas for visitors to rest after their explorations. Refreshments are available from mobile cafes around the Kim Quy Exhibition House and outdoors. Free Wi-Fi is provided, along with 925 indoor and outdoor restrooms, including accessible facilities, a medical station, and on-site first aid.

VEC will host high-altitude fireworks displays on the evenings of 2/9 and 5/9. Despite the huge number of visitors, all organizational systems are running smoothly, from shuttle arrangements, rest stops, and diverse food courts to well-timed performances, prompt medical services, and the prevention of crowding and disorder, ensuring security.
Nearly 2,000 volunteers are working with coordination teams to create a unified effort, demonstrating national unity during this important national event.
