Lung Cu National Flag Tower, located in Lung Cu commune, Dong Van district, Ha Giang province, was recognized as a national historical site in 2009. Perched atop Dragon Mountain at nearly 1,500 meters above sea level, it stands as a proud symbol of Vietnam's sovereignty.

After the flag-raising ceremony, Nguyen Tien Dung, Secretary of the Dong Van district Party Committee, extended New Year greetings to all officers, soldiers, and local residents. He reaffirmed the commitment to fulfilling tasks in the New Year and wished the local authorities, armed forces, and people of Lung Cu a joyful and prosperous New Year while remaining mindful of their political responsibilities.
