Meanwhile, over 500 visitors offered incense to President Ho Chi Minh at the Da Chong (K9) historical relic site in Hanoi’s outlying district of Ba Vi in the period.
Implementing the direction of the Head of the Management Board of President Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum, officers and soldiers of the Mausoleum Management Board have closely coordinated with related units to organize a thoughtful, dedicated, civilized, polite reception, creating good impressions on the people and international visitors.
During the most important annual festival in Vietnam, people often commemorate their ancestors and those who rendered great services to the nation.
K9 was a venue where President Ho Chi Minh, Politburo and Party Central Committee members decided the country’s crucial issues during the anti-American war. It was also chosen to preserve the body of the late President from 1969-1975./
