These events took place in multiple places of Gia Lai Province on February 20 (the fourth day of the first lunar month), attracting tens of thousands of residents and visitors to attend and pay tribute.
The main ceremony took place at the Quang Trung Museum in Tay Son Commune, with the attendance of Deputy Prime Minister Ho Quoc Dung.
At the event, delegates, local residents and visitors sincerely offered flowers and incense in remembrance of the heroes, generals and soldiers of the Tay Son movement in the late 18th century, especially Emperor Quang Trung.
Rising from a battle-tested commander to a revered national hero, Quang Trung demonstrated extraordinary military talent. His forces won landmark victories at Rach Gam–Xoai Mut and Ngoc Hoi–Dong Da in 1789, routing 290,000 Qing troops.
Beyond his achievements in warfare, he was also an eminent politician introducing enlightened policies to recruit and honor talented individuals, promote friendly diplomatic relations, and advance national development.
In his commemorative speech, Standing Vice Chairman of the Gia Lai Provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Tuan Thanh reviewed the glorious history of the Tay Son troops.
Upholding the Tay Son spirit, as the province enters the new year with renewed confidence and momentum, Gia Lai Province has called on residents, officials, soldiers and the business community to unite, seize opportunities, overcome challenges, fulfill socio-economic development goals, successfully host the National Tourism Year 2026, and work together to build a prosperous, civilized and sustainable province.
Later the same day, Deputy Prime Minister Ho Quoc Dung and provincial leaders offered flowers and incense at Dan Kinh Thien Relic Site on An Mountain, the place where emperors prayed for national peace and prosperity; the Temple of Tay Son Tam Kiet's Parents at Go Lang Relic Site; and the tomb of the revered ancestor of the Tay Son brothers.
