As part of the Quang Nam-Da Nang Liberation campaign, on 29 March 1975 Vietnamese revolutionary troops entered Da Nang to free the city.

To mark the 42^nd anniversary of that date, DA NANG Today would like to share with our readers some rare photos, taken by Vietnamese photographers on that day.

Some of these photos are now on display at the Museum of Da Nang, and others are sourced from local photographer Xuan Quang.
