My Bang is constantly improving

Revolutionary tradition

From the center of Tuyen Quang city, looking west, you can see the beautiful sunrise and sunset every day. The majestic La mountain range has been like a solid natural wall protecting the center of the provincial capital for generations. With a distance of 17 km by road, La mountain appears very close, like a familiar daily sight for the people of Tuyen. In 1956, Yen Binh district of Tuyen Quang province was merged into Yen Bai province, Hien river and La mountain are like a natural boundary between the two provinces. My Bang became the western gateway to Yen Bai and Phu Tho.

My Bang is the leading commune in making rural concrete roads in the province.

In the last century, the French who invaded Tuyen Quang set their sights on the My Lam hot mineral spring, a place located right next to My Bang commune. They also built an observation tower on the top of La mountain. According to folk artist Le Hai Thanh, Dao ethnic group, Da Ban hamlet, My Bang commune: The ancient owners of this land were the Cao Lan, Tay, Dao ethnic groups living together in villages at the foot of La mountain. Later, Kinh people from the lowlands came up to build tea farms, My Bang had a strong cultural interweaving and exchange. Living in a spacious land with consecutive hills, My Bang people always expected a beautiful countryside like its name. As early as 1943, the first Viet Minh base was established in the commune, with its headquarters located in Bach Xa cave on the slopes of La mountain. From the end of August 1945 to June 1949, the local government and Party cell were established to lead all activities of the commune.

Thanks to the good terrain and the people's strong will, in 1950, My Bang was visited by Prince Souphanouvong, comrades Kaysone Phomvihane, Khamtay Siphandon, Phu Ma and other Lao revolutionary cadres and soldiers along Hien road to live and work in Lang Ngoi village, Da Ban village. Here, President Ho Chi Minh, on behalf of the Party and State of Vietnam, came to Da Ban to hold talks with the revolutionary leaders of the neighboring country on building a genuine Marxist-Leninist Party in Laos to meet the strong development of the revolutionary movement. Now, the Lao national revolutionary relic in My Bang commune has become a red address to the source, a symbol of the Vietnam-Laos friendship.

Mr. Nguyen Cong Su, Director of Su Anh Agricultural Production Service Cooperative, opened a breakthrough direction for My Bang tea trees with 4-star Ocop tea products.

During the years of great support for the Dien Bien Phu battlefield, the route passing through Binh Ca ferry, Vinh Loi commune, An Khang and Hien ferry of My Bang commune was bustling with people and vehicles.
