The Revered Nguyen Sinh Sac Historical Site

Intelligent and courageous, he is regarded by the Vietnamese people as one of the greatest leaders of all time. If you're planning a trip to Dong Thap, you can deepen your understanding of this prominent figure by visiting the Revered Nguyen Sinh Sac Historical Site. This site, dedicated not to Ho Chi Minh, but rather to his esteemed father, Nguyen Sinh Sac, is located in Cao Lanh City. The site has been recognized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism as one of the essential cultural and architectural complexes in Dong Thap Province since its designation in 1992.

Covering an area of 3.6 hectares, the site comprises two main components: the tomb and the hall of the revered Nguyen Sinh Sac, along with other notable features such as a stilt house, a pond, and an office replicating that of Ho Chi Minh in Hanoi. Upon entering through the main gate, visitors are greeted by the tomb of Nguyen Sinh Sac, which boasts a roof shaped like a hand adorned with nine carved dragons—the emblem of the Mekong Delta. After visiting the tomb, feel free to explore the surrounding garden, where you will find that all the flowers and plants symbolize love from people across the nation. As you stroll, pay attention to the majestic trees that are said to be nearly 300 years old! Besides the tomb and the garden, the hall is also a must-see, featuring numerous documents, photographs, and artifacts relating to the life of Nguyen Sinh Sac, particularly during his time in Cao Lanh and the southern region of Vietnam.
