In celebration of the 80th National Day on September 2nd, Hanoi is buzzing with excitement, solemnity, and patriotism. Alongside the military parades and cultural events, the A80 rest stops – titled ‘Proud Vietnam’ – have officially opened, offering convenient and safe spaces for people traveling to the city center.
Among these rest stops, five are medical stations supported by Long Chau. They not only provide a place to rest but also offer a ‘stronghold’ of healthcare support, ensuring that everyone can confidently immerse themselves in the patriotic festivities.
From early morning, the rest stops have been bustling with people. Well-arranged seating, free drinks, and fans are available for those who need to take a break and re-energize before their ‘excursion’ through the celebrations. A dedicated team of doctors and essential medicines are also on standby, ready to provide first aid and emergency support if needed. This thoughtful preparation has reassured many, allowing them to take a break and recharge before continuing their journey towards Ho Guom Lake and Ba Dinh Square.
Beyond medical support, the rest stops have become warm and welcoming spaces where people exchange smiles, greetings, and heartfelt moments of connection. In the midst of the lively celebrations, these rest stops serve as a ‘breathing space,’ offering a sense of camaraderie and ensuring everyone can confidently take part in this meaningful journey towards the heart of the nation.

On the 2nd of September, National Day, Long Chau will offer nutritious bird’s nest drinks to elderly citizens.

With Long Chau’s support, the five A80 medical stations not only provide timely healthcare but also embody a spirit of humanity and sharing, befitting the significance of this momentous occasion.
