It can be seen that Tuyen Quang is a historical land that witnessed many important activities and deeply engraved the image of President Ho Chi Minh and the great events of the nation. This is the place where President Ho Chi Minh lived and worked for nearly 6 years, at over 20 different locations.

According to the tour guide of the Tan Trao Special National Relic Site, in May 1945, President Ho Chi Minh returned to Tan Trao, Tuyen Quang to lead the August Revolution. Here, he directed the establishment of the Liberation Zone and Tan Trao was chosen as the capital of the Liberation Zone, the center of the revolutionary base of the whole country. Many important historical events took place here, deciding the fate of the nation, such as: Establishment of the Liberation Zone, unification of Vietnam, Propaganda Liberation Army and National Salvation Army into Vietnam Liberation Army; National Conference of Party cadres, deciding on the General Uprising; election of the National Liberation Committee - the provisional government with Ho Chi Minh as President, regulation of the National Flag, National Anthem...

From Tan Trao land, the general uprising order was transmitted: “The decisive hour for the destiny of our nation has come. The whole country, let us rise up and use our own strength to liberate ourselves.” Responding to President Ho Chi Minh’s call, more than 20 million people across the country rose up to revolt and seize power nationwide.

On December 19, 1946, the nationwide resistance war against French colonialism broke out. On April 2, 1947, after a long journey from Hanoi, President Ho Chi Minh and the resistance headquarters arrived at Sao Village, Hop Thanh Commune, Son Duong District (now Son Duong Commune, Tuyen Quang Province). Once again, history entrusted Tuyen Quang with the mission of being the Resistance Capital, a solid base of the Party Central Committee, the National Assembly, the Government, the Front and most of the ministries, departments, branches and central agencies. President Ho Chi Minh stayed for nearly 6 years and worked in many localities of the province.
