Miraculous things in 1 day in Thai Nguyen

The group’s first destination in Thai Nguyen was National historical site of 60 martyrs of TNXP Company 915, Team 91 Bac Thai. In the sacred space of the relic site, members of the group couldn’t help but get choked up when they heard the tour guide recount the tragic event of December 24, 1972.

According to the tour guide: Early that evening, when the volunteers of Company 915, Team 91 of Bac Thai had not yet had time to eat dinner, 6 groups of American B52 strategic bombers and tactical aircraft attacked. breaking into a key area of ​​the southern industrial region of Thai Nguyen city. Following the command, officers and members of Youth Volunteers 915 along with the Deputy Leader of Team 91 and 02 storekeepers entered the shelter. But the cruel bombs dropped by the American imperialist B52 plane claimed the lives of many people, including 60 officers and members of Youth Volunteer Company 915, Team 91 of Northern Thai. The basement where they took refuge became the common grave of 60 people. Many brothers and sisters sacrificed their lives, but only part of their bodies were found by their comrades… Their sacrifice was the biggest loss on the rear front of the Youth Volunteer Force during the resistance period. fight America to save the country.

Today, on top of that painful basement, a relic has been built in the style of a traditional Vietnamese communal house. The tablets of 60 Volunteers of Company 915 who sacrificed on December 24, 1972 are solemnly carved in the shape of 60 Bodhi leaves; The basement where the youth of 60 martyrs were buried became a museum – a place to store the relics of the martyrs of Company 915.

Touched by the stories and painful evidence of the relic site, Ms. Tra My – representative of the Tourism Company from Hai Phong – a unit specializing in organizing tours for students confided: I have heard tell about this event, but only when we come here do we see all the tragedy and pain. Addresses like the 60th Relic Site of TNXP Company 915 are the best history lessons for students. Certainly, I will design this destination in the tour to bring to my customers.

A destination that also makes members of the Famtrip group feel “unbelievable” what they are witnessing with their own eyes is stories from Thai Hai community tourism village.

Thai Hai community tourism village is located in My Hao hamlet, Thinh Duc commune, just over 10km from Thai Nguyen city center.

This is a village with 30 stilt houses, preserving the unique cultural features of the Tay ethnic people. The interesting thing is that these houses were transferred by the “village owner” from Dinh Hoa ATK area, Thai Nguyen and restored to their original form with the hope that the stilt houses of the Tay people are preserved and preserved in the best way.

Few people can believe that Thai Hai community village is like a miniature and completely separate society. The village operates according to the maximum self-sufficiency mechanism. The people in the village are not only Tay people, but they all share the same mindset of preserving Tay culture. In this village, they do not manage people by number of households, but by demographics, so they consider it a big family. Nearly 200 people, from the elderly to infants, ate from the same pot of rice. No individual, no family keeps their own money. People in the village make a living by growing crops, raising livestock, and providing tourism services. 30 houses in the Village, each house will perform a separate function to serve Thai Hai people and serve the needs of tourists.

Coming to Thai Hai village, visitors can experience a life rich in the identity of the Tay ethnic culture, from the resounding sound of gongs at the village door signaling that the village has “golden and silver guests” coming to visit, to the custom of washing hands in the village. water well at the beginning of the village; Experience the cultural space of wine, tea, musical instruments, and bustling fire dances in the sacred space in the “heart” of the village…

It is not simple that in March 2023, Thai Hai village was awarded the “Best tourist village in the world 2022” award by the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO).

An interesting thing that cannot be mentioned in this trip to Thai Nguyen of the Famtrip group is the story of Ms. Dao Thanh Hao – Director Hao Dat Tea Cooperative. Growing up in Tan Cuong tea land, she not only insisted on the path of clinging to tea trees to live, but also agonized over how to bring new values ​​to Tan Cuong Thai Nguyen tea products.

And she succeeded in building the Hao Dat tea brand, building a Hao Dat tea cultural space, and turning Hao Dat Cooperative into a destination for tourists coming to Thai Nguyen. Making tourists who come to Tan Cuong – Thai Nguyen but have not been to this place, have not bought Hao Dat tea as a gift, have not personally picked young tea buds, tea leaves, etc., feel that their journey is incomplete.

She also applied strict standards to produce young shrimp tea under the Hao Dat brand that meets 5-star OCOP standards – the only tea product in Thai Nguyen that meets this standard. Hao Dat tea brand was honored to be recognized as a typical national rural industrial product in 2023.

More importantly, her cooperative has now gathered many households from fragmented production into a strong collective, producing quality products, increasing the value of Thai Nguyen tea land.

Also on the Famtrip delegation’s journey today, delegates visited Museum of Cultures of Vietnamese Ethnic Groups – a destination that encapsulates the pride of every Vietnamese person in the cultural diversity of the 54 ethnic groups living across the S-shaped strip of land; An address that brings another level of magical, unforgettable emotions in the journey to travel to Thai Nguyen Tea country, just like the slogan of this trip: “Thai Nguyen tourism – From experience to heart”
