On October 26, the live broadcast site of the final round of the 25th “Road to Mount Olympia” (with Vietnamese title being “Duong len dinh Olympia”) will be held in the area of Phu Van Lau (Phu Van Lau Pavilion) - Nghinh Luong Dinh (Nghinh Luong Dinh Pavilion).

In 2005, I was fortunate to meet Dang Van Viet, a revered elder, in Hue, where he had come from Hanoi to join the 60th anniversary of the Frontline Youth School. There, I learned that he was the one who, together with a comrade, raised the red flag with the yellow star over the Phu Van Lau (Phu Van Pavilion) flagpole on August 21, 1945-when the August Revolution had yet to break out, Japanese forces were still armed, and the Nguyen dynasty still stood in the imperial capital of Hue.
