No
one who has traveled to Vietnam does not know about Ho Chi Minh - an
intelligent and courageous man. He is considered as the greatest leader
of all time by Vietnamese people. Paying a visit to Dong Thap, visitors
in Vietnam tourism will have a chance to get more knowledge about him by
visiting the Revered Nguyen Sinh Sac historical site. The site was
built to commemorate, not Ho Chi Minh president, but his revered father,
Nguyen Sinh Sac.
Situated
right in Cao Lanh city, Nguyen Sinh Sac historical siteis regarded one
of the most important cultural and architectural complexes in Dong Thap province.
Covering an area of 3.6 hectares, the site includes two parts: the tomb
and the hall of Nguyen Sinh Sac. Besides, the site also comprises other
interesting features such as a stilt house, a pond, etc. The first
thing visitors in Vietnam travel
will see when stepping inside the site is the tomb of Mr. Nguyen Sinh
Sac, which has a hand-shape roof decorated with nine carved dragons –
the symbol of Cuu Long (Mekong River delta region).
Within the area of Nguyen Sinh Sac historical site, tourists joining tours in Vietnam
are free to explore the surrounding garden. There are various kinds of
flowers and plants if the garden; some of the trees are gigantic ones
with the age of over 300 years. If the garden is abundant with flowers
and trees, then the hall is home to many documents, pictures and
vestiges which are closely attached with the life of Mr. Nguyen Sinh
Sac. During his stay in Cao Lanh and in southern Vietnam, there are many
vestiges and documents related to this period of his life, which are
also displayed there.
Every lunar year, on 27th day of 10th
month, people gather here to celebrate the death anniversary of the
revered man – Nguyen Sinh Sac. Today, this anniversary has become a
formal event, yet its festive spirit still remains.
