Tan Trao is a small valley in Son Duong district, Tuyen
Quang province, lying between mountains and jungles, 200km from Hanoi. Tan Trao is an historical area used as a resistance base
before the August 1945 Revolution. Tan Trao was a temporary capital of the
independent section of the country, where the Vietnamese Communist Party
held several meetings, especially during August 1945. On the August 13,
attendees voted in favor of a general revolution during a National
Conference meeting of the Communist Party. On the 16th, the
National Assembly Conference was held. Ten major policies
were voted by the Viet Minh, the League for the Independence of Vietnam,
and a temporary government chaired by President Ho Chi Minh was
established. The Viet Minh army was also founded on that day. Also on the
August 16, the Temple Government led by President Ho Chi Minh had a
meeting in the Tan Trao Communal House. The participants of this
conference were staying at the Hong Thai Communal House. One hundred
meters north of the communal house is the Tan Trao banyan tree. Before he returned to Hanoi, President Ho Chi Minh
resided in his cottage in this area between June and August 1945; the
liberation soldiers erected his cottage. |
