The first stop is the lotus village - his hometown. In simple paintings, brown brown roofs covered with time, still intact to counter wooden wood, black painted wooden rice tray, rice chest - idyllic items that raise a large stature of an outstanding personality. Under the straight areca and fragrant lotus ponds, people seem to see the lack of age, quietly studying the lesson by the oil lamp, dreaming of a large future for the people.
Not far from Sen village is Hoang Tru village - Uncle Ho's maternal hometown, where the crying man was born. The three-room painting house, the wooden frame, the thorn hammock... are all old but contain a line of quiet memories. Those relics are not simply museum artifacts, but like a whisper to each step here about the life of the industrial park - where a great personality was built.
On the back of Dong Tranh mountain is the tomb of Mrs. Hoang Thi Loan - mother of President Ho Chi Minh. The tomb is shaped like a giant curse frame - a symbol of the silent sacrifice of Vietnamese mothers. From here, looking out into the distance, visitors can fully feel the beauty of Nghe An - rustic, quiet and deep.
Located in the complex of relics, the exhibition area and memorial house built in 1970 are the first museums in the country about President Ho Chi Minh. Here, letters, artifacts, images, and stories from all over the world about him have been preserved and exhibited elaborately, showing the great influence of Ho Chi Minh's thought on international friends and all classes of people.

Every New Year's Eve, tens of thousands of people from all over the country and overseas Vietnamese return here - not only to burn incense in front of the Good God, but also to find the origin of ideals, morality and humanity.
