105 years ago, at Nha Rong Port, patriotic Nguyen Tat Thanh was determined to leave the country for finding a path for national liberation. 30 years later, he returned home and led the whole people to write a glorious history. The ancient port has now became a branch of Ho Chi Minh Museum where specious exhibits, images and documents about beloved Uncle Ho are kept, a historic name for people, soldiers and international friends to visit.
