The memorial area has a total area of over 3.2 hectares, including two main complexes: a memorial house and an exhibition space on life, revolutionary activities and original relics, where works associated with the childhood and family of comrade Le Hong Phong are preserved.
His revolutionary life is a bright symbol of absolute loyalty to revolutionary ideals, iron will and indomitable spirit before the enemy.
