From Tan Trao, the center of the resistance movement with crucial decisions made during the historic autumn of 1945, to historical sites throughout the province, Tuyen Quang has always strived to combine the preservation of historical values ​​with innovative tourism approaches, both to attract tourists and to spread its unique identity.

Awakening Aspiration

In order to fuel and promote revolutionary traditions, in recent years, the Party committees, authorities, and organizations of Tuyen Quang province, especially the Youth Union, have promoted activities to educate about revolutionary traditions. Secretary of Tuyen Quang Provincial Youth Union Duong Minh Nguyet likened each journey to a "special class", fostering patriotism, self-reliance, self-improvement, and responsible living.

Not only limited to the local scope, Tuyen Quang Provincial Youth Union also coordinates with Youth Union organizations of central agencies, ministries, branches, provinces and cities across the country to carry out many meaningful activities. "We always consider traditional education an important task. Through the journey back to the source, the young generation not only learns about history, but also trains their bravery and sense of responsibility towards their homeland and country...", Ms. Duong Minh Nguyet shared.

Visiting the Tan Trao National Special Relic Site in Tan Trao Commune (Tuyen Quang) in early August, Ms. Ngo Thu Trang, a member of the National Assembly Office, said she was moved, proud and grateful when she heard historical stories, offered incense to commemorate heroes and martyrs, visited artifacts, and met revolutionary witnesses. Ms. Ngo Thu Trang expressed that every moment makes young people like her appreciate more the value of peace today.

As for Ms. Nguyen Tran Linh Chi, a member of Thanh Sen ward (Ha Tinh), she was able to see Na Nua hut with her own eyes and hear stories and advice from Uncle Ho to General Vo Nguyen Giap at the hut, visit Tan Trao communal house and learn about the National Congress in 1945..., helping her to visualize and feel more deeply when learning through books or media.

According to Tuyen Quang Provincial Youth Union Secretary Duong Minh Nguyet, every year tens of thousands of union members and young people participate in activities at "red addresses". After the trips, the spirit of dedication and willingness to contribute to building the homeland is spread again. Many young people have proactively participated in volunteer activities, started businesses or become volunteer guides at historical sites. These are vivid proofs of the effectiveness of traditional education work in the integration period, contributing to building a generation of "both red and professional" youth, with enough courage and intelligence.

Connecting historical traditions with practical action.

According to Mr. Nguyen Van Hoa, Deputy Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Tuyen Quang province, in recent years, the province has implemented many synchronous solutions to promote the tourism potential associated with revolutionary history. One of them is that Tuyen Quang continuously launches tourism products at the Tan Trao special national relic site. The tourist routes are built under the theme "Journey to the capital of the liberated zone", combining visiting relics with cultural experiences, cuisine and community activities, helping tourists not only come to Tan Trao to admire, but also to relive the historical atmosphere, immersing themselves in the local culture.

Participating in the experience of the tourism product “Old War Zone - New Experience” at the Tan Trao National Special Relic Site, Associate Professor, Dr. Duong Van Sau, Hanoi University of Culture, highly appreciated the creativity, difference and quality. He commented that Tuyen Quang is on the right track when exploiting its potentials, turning cultural and historical “resources” into highlights to attract tourists.

At the same time, a special exhibition space with the theme "Tan Trao - the birthplace of the Fatherland, 80 years of the origins of the Vietnamese revolution" is taking place at the Flamingo Heritage Onsen & Resort complex in Tan Trao commune (Tuyen Quang).

Mr. Huynh Kim Sang, General Manager of Flamingo Heritage Tan Trao Onsen & Resort, said that the exhibition space has 4 themed areas, introducing 80 paintings combined from more than 200 photos including: historical documents, photos of relics in the Viet Bac safe zone, images of agencies that originated from Tan Trao during the pre-uprising period and the resistance war against the French colonialists. This space not only reminds us of history, but also vividly depicts the journey of maturity of the revolutionary government, from resistance to construction, from hardship to sustainable development. This is an outstanding activity in the series of programs honoring historical values, evoking national pride, and at the same time contributing to promoting Tan Trao - the capital of the Liberation Zone, the capital of the resistance war, as a destination that converges historical tourism, luxury resorts and indigenous cultural experiences.

In addition to exhibition activities, Flamingo Holdings also regularly organizes tours to Tan Trao National Special Relic Site, combined with a series of cultural and artistic activities imbued with the identity of the Northeast highlands such as: Then singing and Tinh lute performances on Pho Day River, reenacting traditional festivals... to bring emotional experiences to visitors.

In the coming time, to continue effectively exploiting the potential of historical tourism, Mr. Nguyen Van Hoa, Deputy Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Tuyen Quang province, said that the province will continue to build unique tourism products; further improve the quality of management to support tour and route connections; promote the role of the community in preserving cultural identity; step up promotion and investment activities, expand links with domestic and foreign tourism businesses and travel companies to Tuyen Quang. At the same time, the province will continue to upgrade transport infrastructure, invest in accommodation facilities, train local tour guides, promote communication and promote the local image towards the goal of sustainable tourism development associated with preserving historical and cultural values.

For the Tan Trao Special National Relic Site, Tuyen Quang continues to invest in renovating and embellishing relics, innovating organization methods, developing thematic tour guiding services, historical education for students and thematic groups of visitors, aiming to build a journey back to the source that is both attractive and effective. In 2025, the Tan Trao Special National Relic Site aims to welcome over 750,000 visitors; by 2030, it strives to welcome about 2 million visitors, of which 35,000 are international visitors...
