Tuoi Tre launches special platform marking 50th anniversary of city named after President Ho Chi Minh

The anniversary marks not only a significant historical milestone but also the remarkable transformation of the southern metropolis into Vietnam’s leading economic, cultural, scientific, and innovation hub.

The special online feature, titled ‘50 Years of the City Named After Uncle Ho,’ presents a comprehensive portrait of the city's development through historical milestones, personal stories, landmark projects, and the people who have shaped its identity.

The platform explores both the city's past and its future, tracing its journey from the years immediately following national reunification to its current role as Vietnam’s economic engine and center of innovation.

Readers can discover stories ranging from everyday life experiences of city residents to broader ambitions for a modern, smart, and sustainable urban future.

The platform includes an extensive collection of articles, reports, archival materials, photographs, videos, and multimedia content designed to showcase Ho Chi Minh City’s pioneering spirit, creativity, and determination.

One of the platform’s highlights is the ‘Million Wishes’ section, where residents, overseas Vietnamese, businesses, and international friends can send congratulatory messages to the city.

The platform also features an interactive ‘Map of Wishes,’ connecting provinces and communities nationwide.

Another highlight is ‘City Milestones,’ which visually recreates key achievements over the past five decades, from breakthroughs in areas such as economy, science and technology, education, healthcare, culture, transportation to digital transformation.

The platform offers interactive games and challenges that invite younger readers to explore urban history in an engaging way.

Through this project, Tuoi Tre seeks to create an open forum where residents can celebrate the city's accomplishments, honor previous generations who contributed to its growth, and share aspirations for the future.

Tuoi Tre hopes the platform will serve as both a memory archive and a community forum, helping to continue the story of a city known for its dynamism, compassion, innovation, and resilience.
