On the morning of September 2nd, Hoa Lo Prison Relic was packed with people. Thousands of people lined up along Quan Su, Hai Ba Trung, Tho Nhuom streets to wait for their turn to visit, including many parents bringing young children to learn about history.
Ms. Le Minh Anh (31 years old, Bac Ninh) brought her two children to Hanoi during this year's National Day holiday. Hoa Lo prison is one of the destinations chosen by the family, besides the Temple of Literature - Quoc Tu Giam, Uncle Ho's Mausoleum and the Vietnam Military History Museum.
According to Ms. Minh Anh, despite the large number of visitors and the hot weather, the queuing took place quite orderly. The children were also excited to directly see the spaces and artifacts associated with the historical stories they had learned.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Mai (34 years old, Hung Yen) also came to Hanoi during this year's National Day holiday. Her family has visited many famous tourist destinations in Hanoi such as Uncle Ho's Mausoleum, Hoa Lo Prison, Hoan Kiem Lake,...
My house is expected to move to the Vietnam Military History Museum this afternoon. I learned that the Vietnam Military History Museum is storing and displaying hundreds of thousands of artifacts, including 4 national treasures. The children are very excited to visit the museum" - Ms. Mai said.
According to Ms. Mai, such trips help children have the opportunity to access history in a more visual way, and at the same time create more time for parents to talk to their children about what they see. In particular, historical stories that were previously approached through textbooks are now placed in a specific space, helping children easily visualize and remember.
This is not just an entertainment trip, but also experiences, helping children broaden their understanding before entering the new school year" - Ms. Mai expressed.
