Tourists who are genuinely interested in Vietnam’s revolutionary history should look no further than the legendary Tan Trao village
Located northeast of Son Duong commune in the northern province of Tuyen Quang it is a trek from Saigon but worth the voyage.
Tan Trao village was Ho Chi Minh’s base during the revolution war and it has 17 vestiges including Lan Na Lua, Cay da Tan Trao, Tan Trao communal house and Hong Thai communal house.
Ho Chi Minh lived and worked in Lan Na Lua during the preparation for the 1945 uprising against the ruling French imperial troops. Built simply from bamboo trees and foliage, the area helped keep the revolutionary troops hidden from French surveillance.

Most of the vestiges are under the cover of bamboo which helped keep Ho Chi Minh’s revolutionary army hidden from enemy soldiers
