"Đêm Thiêng Liêng" is a night tour series at Hỏa Lò Prison, sharing the heroic stories of Vietnamese political prisoners 🇻🇳 once held there by colonials. To bring these powerful narratives to life, I incorporate interactive elements that not only provide essential tour information but also immerse readers in an emotional journey, making the experience both engaging and informative.

Hỏa Lò Prison, one of Indochina’s most fortified prisons, was notorious for its harsh conditions and brutal torture. Yet, political prisoners saw it as a “school” to spread revolutionary ideals.

Today, Hỏa Lò remains a "school" of history and patriotism, honoring the sacrifice of Vietnamese revolutionaries. A visit takes one on a journey from sorrow over past hardships to deep admiration for those who contributed to shaping Vietnam’s history.

End the e-magazine with tourist’s feedback of the night tour (scroll to see). The messages appear with a slow fade effect, representing the lingering emotions in each word. The final slide shows an image of a tour guide bowing in respect, followed by the verse: "Đất nước ta non sông liền một dải/Độc lập này sáng mãi tên các anh!" ("Our country, the mountains and rivers are one/This independence forever shines in the names of our heroes!") as a farewell and tribute.
