This year's holiday, commemorating National Reunification Day (April 30) and May Day (May 1), extends for five days. Alongside numerous activities across the province honoring the 70th anniversary of the Điện Biên Phủ Victory, there has been a notable increase in visitors to Điện Biên City.

Additionally, the management board has enhanced coordination efforts to maintain order and security at the historical relic sites.
