This year's National Day, September 2, falls on the same weekend and lasts four days, so many families choose to go on vacation or visit historical sites.
Kim Lien National Special Relic Site (Nam Dan, Nghe An) - the hometown of President Ho Chi Minh - has become a destination for many locals and tourists inside and outside the province on the occasion of National Day, September 2.

Despite unfavorable weather, sometimes with harsh sunlight or showers, the thatched-roof, bamboo-walled house where Uncle Ho spent his childhood years in Sen village welcomed tens of thousands of visitors every day during the National Day holiday.
From Binh Luc district, Ha Nam province, Mr. Van Dinh Thuc (85 years old) and his wife, children and grandchildren visited Uncle Ho's hometown on the first day of the holiday. This was the 5th time that former teacher Van Dinh Thuc had visited Uncle Ho's hometown, but at the time when the whole country was celebrating National Day - the day President Ho Chi Minh read the Declaration of Independence giving birth to Vietnam - it left him with special emotions.
"Whenever I visit Uncle Ho's hometown, I am always moved. President Ho Chi Minh is a shining example of revolutionary morality. I still teach my children and grandchildren to learn a lot from Uncle Ho, to follow his example, to be diligent, frugal, and honest, in work and in life," Mr. Van Dinh Thuc shared.
Locals and tourists offer bouquets of fragrant lotus and lilies to the small, simple altar of Uncle Ho's relatives. These two flowers symbolize the pure but faithful life, full of love for the country of President Ho Chi Minh and his relatives.
It is expected that Kim Lien National Special Relic Site will welcome nearly 3,000 delegations and tens of thousands of visitors during the National Day holiday. Therefore, the Relic Site Management Board has mobilized 100% of its staff to work throughout the holiday to best serve visitors when they return to Uncle Ho's hometown.
The family of Ms. Vo Thi Vinh (residing in Ha Tinh province) was present at Sen village wearing special costumes, red shirts with yellow stars. She took her two children to visit each house, explaining in detail to them each artifact associated with the life of President Ho Chi Minh during his childhood and his family members.
"I have taken my two children to visit Uncle Ho's Mausoleum in Hanoi, but to be honest, it is quite far away so it is difficult to arrange a trip every year. For the past 3 years, we have visited Uncle Ho's hometown on the occasion of National Day so that the children can better understand the life and career of President Ho Chi Minh, fostering their love for Uncle Ho so that they can make more efforts and try harder in the upcoming new school year," Ms. Vinh shared.
The red shirt with yellow star is also the choice of many parents for their children when taking them to visit Uncle Ho's hometown, Sen Village, on the occasion of National Day, September 2. After visiting Uncle Ho's house, the children happily took photos with the forces on duty there.

Nghe An in general, Nam Dan or Kim Lien in particular, have had remarkable development, but the house of Uncle Ho and his family is still simple, plain, and rustic like Uncle Ho himself. Over the years, this has been a "red address" that many people and tourists from all over the world have come to, to better understand the place that nurtured the soul and aspiration for independence and freedom for the country of President Ho Chi Minh.
Returning to Uncle Ho's hometown means returning to a simple thatched-roof house, to a familiar bamboo hedge, to a row of sweet potato plants, to a row of hibiscus trees, to the sincere and affectionate soul of the countryside.
In the Kim Lien National Special Relic Complex, visitors can immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the old countryside with the neighboring houses of Uncle Ho's family. A thatched roof, a bamboo mat, a woven curtain also evokes a sense of peace and familiarity, so that each person's soul seems to calm down when returning to the Common Homeland on the important day of the Country.
