After nearly 1 week of ticket sales, the number of visitors to the Vietnam Military History Museum is still very large. As noted by labor, even in the middle of the week, the museum still welcomes guests in and out. At the entrance to the museum, the ticket sales and the entrance gate are established, controlling the number of visitors in and out of the museum.
Most of the tourists are groups of students, veterans, families with children coming to visit, especially before the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification. Many young people also invest in accessories, wearing ao dai, costumes printed with national flags or uniforms expressing love for the country and people to take photos and check-in at the museum.
Duong Thi Nhuyen (student, Lang Son), and her friends visited the museum in the middle of the week. The female tourist shared: "The atmosphere was very happy and bustling, with many primary and secondary school students following the group to visit the museum. I see young people are very excited to take photos, watch exhibitions, and explain history.
In the museum, what impressed me most was the 3D image depicting important battles in the history of the nation. The graphic images are very clear so that people can see and feel them most realistically, understanding more deeply about history".
Nhuyen bought a ticket to visit the city for students at a price of 20,000 VND. The female tourist believes that this is not a high amount of money, so that she can admire and learn about the entire historical process from the time of building the country, defending the country and developing the nation.
Ms. Phuong Thao (30 years old, Hanoi) shared: "On the occasion of the upcoming April 30 anniversary, I will take time to take my parents to visit the museum. As veterans, I find my parents very happy and moved when they see old souvenirs, artifacts, and images recreating the war period and history of the nation.
In addition, as a young person, I am also very excited to witness and listen to stories told to understand more deeply about the difficult war days, the will and extraordinary strength of our ancestors in the past in the process of building and defending the country".
In addition to individual groups, many groups of students with hundreds of visitors attentively listened to the tour guide's presentations on history.
Ms. Hoang Thi Van Anh - a teacher at Bac Son Town Secondary School (Lang Son) said: "Normally, each year, the school will organize students to visit and teach history at relics one to two times.
This year, our school chose the Vietnam Military History Museum as a sight because here, they can see the process of the country's history since building, defending the country and building the country. Thus, they can look visually and easily visualize the history of the nation. "
Ms. Van Anh said that most students feel happy and excited when visiting the museum. Through intuitive lessons, students can form and promote qualities and abilities such as patriotism, responsibility towards their homeland and country.
