The provincial Union of Science and Technology in coordination with the Heritage Park for Scientists & Scholars of Vietnam has organised a symposium on culture traits associated with Tay Tien (Westward advancing) soldiers and tourism along the route they once marched.
A view of the symposium.
The May 17 event formed part of the
science-technology activities aiming to promote the cultural and historical
values of documents and objects related to the Tay Tien Regiment, thus
promoting local tourism.
Other activities include adding more than 50
documents and objects presented by the soldiers’ relatives to the provincial
museum, raising the total number of such items collected since 2012 to 350; and
clarifying many stories featuring sentiments between the soldiers and
residents, notably ethnic groups in Hoa Binh province.
The Tay Tien front covered Hanoi, Hoa Binh, Son
La, and Thanh Hoa of Vietnam, and Huaphanh of Laos.
Over the past time, Hoa Binh and other
localities have carried out an array of activities to commemorate Tay Tien
soldiers and raise youths’ awareness of their sacrifice.
There are three relic sites associated with the
regiment, of them two in Lac Son (Hoa Binh) and Muong Lat (Thanh Hoa) winning
the provincial status, and the other in Moc Chau (Son La) earning the national
recognition.
At the symposium, participants looked into the
cultural and historical values of the documents and objects, and raised
proposals to promote Tay Tien tourism in Hoa Binh, as well as tours along the
route, from Hanoi through Hoa Binh and Son La to Huaphanh.
