Pac Bo is a “red address” closely associated with the revolutionary career of President Ho Chi Minh. After 30 years of wandering to find a way to save the country, in 1941, he chose Pac Bo as a revolutionary base, directly leading the movement to fight for national independence.
Here, the relics associated with Uncle Ho's simple but strong-willed life are still preserved almost intact. Visitors to Pac Bo can visit: Milestone 108 - where Uncle Ho took his first steps back to the country; Mr. Ly Quoc Sung's house - where Uncle Ho and his revolutionary comrades stayed in the first days after returning to the country; Coc Bo cave - where Uncle Ho lived and worked; Khuoi Nam hut - where many important meetings of the Party Central Committee took place; stone tables and chairs at the headwaters of Lenin stream, where Uncle Ho once sat to translate "History of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union"...
