The Vietnam homepage of tech giant Google on Friday features a doodle of ‘chim lac’, a Vietnamese mythical national bird, to mark the country’s National Day (September 2).
“Chim lac most closely resembles the crane with its long beak and can be found as intricate decorations on traditional Dong Son bronze drums,” said Google.
“In 1945, the Declaration of Independence of Vietnam was read aloud to the public, officially recognising Vietnam as a sovereign nation.”
Citizens are given a day off from work, and red-and-yellow banners line the streets to mark the holiday, Google said, adding that the Vietnamese national flag is displayed on every corner of the country.
A Google Doodle is a special, temporary alteration of the logo on Google's homepages intended to commemorate holidays, events, achievements, and notable historical figures of particular countries.
