Explore to return
There are trips, not just to explore, but to return. With the eco-tour “Legendary Truong Son Road - Commander Cave,” visitors will return to the memories of “a time of fire and flowers”, return to the legendary stories of the previous generation.
The artifacts and models in the Commander Cave are not simply reconstructions, but also pieces of a vivid memory. Through the tour guide’s story, the harsh and fierce years of war reappear. Each cliff and each corner seems to tell the story of the indomitable will and creativity of the Truong Son soldiers of the past.
Ms. Phan Thi Hai Khuyen, a tour guide at the tourist destination “Legendary Truong Son Road - Commander Cave” shared that, although they were not architects, nor did they need any design drawings, the soldiers created a solid reserve of food and weapons in the enemy's heartland, to make it more convenient to support the southern battlefield, ensuring the process of national unification.
“When explaining to tourists about the landscapes and artifacts in the Commander Cave, one of the largest warehouses of the 559 Command in Quang Binh (old), I am always moved and emotional. The historical values that our ancestors left behind are immense. When introducing them to tourists, with all my heart, I always want them to relive the most fierce war of the nation. In which, our soldiers and people did not spare their blood and bones, fought steadfastly and indomitably,” Ms. Khuyen shared.
Ms. Le Thi Hong (a resident of Village 4, Dong Trach Commune, Quang Tri) was moved to say that when she set foot on Route 20 Quyet Thang, she could not help but be moved by the sacred historical vestiges still imprinted in the majestic Truong Son mountains and forests. The old trail that had endured bombs and bullets now appeared green and quiet, like an endless epic about patriotism and the indomitable will of the fathers and brothers.
“When I entered the Command Cave, which used to be the headquarters of the 559th Army Corps, I felt the breath of the past, the harshness and the steely spirit of the Truong Son soldiers. This tour was not only a journey back to history, but also an experience filled with pride and gratitude,” Ms. Hong shared.
Tourists coming here all feel that Commander Cave is a space of dialogue between the past and the present. Today’s visitors not only come to admire, but also to receive a heritage with pride, gratitude and responsibility to preserve and promote historical values to pass on to future generations.
Mr. Pham Ngoc Cam, village 4, Dong Trach commune (Quang Tri) said, through the visit to the artifacts, images and evidence at "Legendary Truong Son Road - Commander Cave", I feel that this is not only a place that marks the heroic history of the nation, but also a vivid, visual lesson to educate the younger generation about patriotism and the indomitable spirit of our ancestors.
“Looking at the attentive eyes and serious listening of each tourist, especially the students, when hearing about the arduous years of fighting, I believe that this tourism product will leave a deep impression in the hearts of each of us. The trip not only helps me, but also many young generations to be more proud and aware of preserving and promoting revolutionary traditions.”
