Video : Tourists visit President Ho Chi Minh's hometown during the first days of the new year.
In the early days of the Lunar New Year of the Horse 2026, people from all over the country flocked to the Kim Lien National Special Historical Site (Nghe An) to lay flowers and offer incense in remembrance of President Ho Chi Minh .
In front of the altar dedicated to President Ho Chi Minh, visitors express their boundless gratitude to the beloved leader of the nation and pray for a peaceful and fortunate new year.
Under the simple thatched roof - where Uncle Ho lived his childhood years,
Tourists listened attentively as the tour guide recounted stories about him.
Having lived in Tay Ninh for 16 years, Mrs. Nguyen Anh Mai (born in 1951) finally had the opportunity to return to her hometown in Thien Nhan commune ( Nghe An province). This time, she chose the Kim Lien National Special Historical Site as her first destination on her spring trip. “This is my third time visiting Uncle Ho’s hometown. The feeling remains the same, still as moving, nostalgic, and full of love and respect for Uncle Ho. Uncle Ho’s hometown has changed a lot, becoming more beautiful and spacious, but the thatched roof house remains simple and modest,” Mrs. Anh Mai shared.
For many young families, the New Year's pilgrimage is also an opportunity to educate their children about the tradition of "drinking water, remembering the source." Ms. Ngu Thi Trang (born in 1989, residing in Binh Duong province) and her husband and two young children visited President Ho Chi Minh's birthplace during the spring season. She said she wanted her children to see firsthand where President Ho Chi Minh was born and raised, so they could understand how a great man was nurtured from a poor village. "The lessons in books will become more vivid when the children experience it firsthand like this," Ms. Trang expressed.
This year, the Kim Lien National Special Historical Site is also stepping up visual propaganda about major political events of the country, most notably the 85th anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh's return to Vietnam to directly lead the revolution (January 28, 1941 - January 28, 2026).
Nguyen Thi Tham (born in 2000, residing in Dan Hai commune, Ha Tinh province) shared that this is her fourth time visiting President Ho Chi Minh's hometown. "The atmosphere in President Ho Chi Minh's hometown is peaceful and sacred. Coming to offer incense at the beginning of the year, I feel relieved and more motivated for the new year," Tham said.
Many children ask for calligraphy at the beginning of the year.
The thematic exhibition "President Ho Chi Minh and the Vietnamese National Assembly" attracted a large number of visitors.
Mr. Nguyen Bao Tuan, Director of the Kim Lien National Special Historical Site Management Board, said that on the first and second days of the Lunar New Year (Year of the Horse), the site welcomed more than 1,000 groups with over 6,000 visitors. “To accommodate the high number of visitors during the New Year period, the Management Board has made thorough preparations, from landscaping and parking arrangements to ensuring security, order, and environmental hygiene. Colorful flags and flowers adorned the walkways, and spring-themed displays were harmoniously arranged, creating a solemn yet welcoming atmosphere. Staff were on duty throughout the Tet holiday, providing dedicated guidance and support to visitors,” Mr. Tuan said.
