between mountains and jungles in Son Duong District, 40 km from Tuyen Quang Town
and 200km from Hanoi.
Characteristics: Tan Trao is a historical area - a resistance base before
the August 1945 Revolution.
The main places of interest include Tan Trao Communal House, Hong Thai Communal
House and a small jungle hut where President Ho Chi Minh lived from June to
August 1945. Tan Trao was a temporary capital of the independent section of
Vietnam, where the Vietnamese Communist Party held several meetings, especially
during August 1945. On the 13th, 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 Vietminh, the League for the Independence of Vietnam, and a temporary
government chaired by President Ho Chi Minh was established. The Vietminh army
was also founded on that day. Also on the 16th, the Provisional Government led
by President Ho Chi Minh had a meeting in the Tan Trao Communal House. The
participants of this conference stayed at the Hong Thai Communal House. One
hundred meters north of the communal house is the Tan Trao Banyan tree. Between
June and August 1945, before he returned to Hanoi, President Ho Chi Minh resided
in this area in a cottage erected by the liberation soldiers
