The monument dedicated to President Ho Chi Minh, themed "Uncle Ho Visits His Homeland," is located within the grounds of the special national historical site of the President Ho Chi Minh Memorial Area in Kim Lien commune, Nam Dan district, Nghe An province.

The monument "Uncle Ho Visits His Hometown" was inaugurated on the occasion of the 135th anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh's birth (May 19, 1890 - May 19, 2025).

This is a place with a banyan tree, a well, and a village communal house, known as Lang Sen (Lotus Village). It was the place where President Ho Chi Minh visited twice, in 1957 and 1961, the birthplace and place where he lived from his childhood.

During his visits to his hometown, Uncle Ho met and chatted intimately with the villagers; reminisced about the past with the elders; affectionately interacted with children; and kindly advised the Party committees, government, mass organizations, and the people.

The monument "Uncle Ho Visits His Hometown" is located at the Lang Sen stadium, where Uncle Ho met and had friendly conversations with the people of his hometown during his visit in 1961.

The monument "Uncle Ho Visits His Hometown" was constructed urgently and meticulously over a period of two years. The statue was cast based on the original photograph taken during Uncle Ho's second visit to his hometown in 1961. The statue, including the pedestal and the statue itself, has a total height of 12.5 meters; the statue itself is 8.3 meters tall and weighs 6 tons, made of hydraulically pressed bronze.

This project, a testament to the special affection and respect of the People's Public Security Force for President Ho Chi Minh, was presented to the government and people of Nghe An province by the Central Party Committee of Public Security and the Ministry of Public Security .

The statue faces north, with a lotus pond in front and a model of a mountain behind, symbolizing the landscape of the homeland.

This is a gift from the Party Committee of the Central Public Security Ministry and the Ministry of Public Security to the Party Committee, government, and people of Nghe An province on the occasion of the 135th anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh's birth (May 19, 1890 - May 19, 2025); the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (September 2, 1945 - September 2, 2025); the 80th anniversary of the Traditional Day of the People's Public Security Force (August 19, 1945 - August 19, 2025); and the 20th anniversary of the National Day for Protecting National Security (August 19, 2005 - August 19, 2025).

This project is a vivid and profound expression of the love, gratitude, and the principle of "drinking water, remembering the source" of the People's Public Security Force towards the great leader – the founder, educator, and trainer of the Vietnamese People's Public Security Force.

This is not only a symbolic structure with profound historical and humanistic value, but also a distinctive and exemplary cultural and architectural work; it has become a significant landmark, an impressive destination attracting numerous compatriots, comrades, and domestic and foreign tourists to visit, pay respects, express gratitude, and learn.

This project holds immense and profound cultural and political significance, as it is a tribute to President Ho Chi Minh from the Vietnam People's Public Security Force.
