Provincial delegates visited Thang Long Imperial Citadel and the Museum of Ethnology.

(Baonghean.vn) -On May 18th, after visiting the K9 historical site (Ba Vi - Hanoi), the Provincial Party Committee organized a trip for exemplary delegates to visit the Thang Long Imperial Citadel and the Museum of Ethnology, as part of the "Learning and Following the Moral Example of Ho Chi Minh" campaign.

The archaeological site at 18 Hoang Dieu Street, containing relics of the Thang Long Forbidden City and artifacts such as ceramics and ancient coins, is interconnected, forming a rich and fascinating whole. These artifacts reflect the relationship between urban planning and architectural space, showing continuity between dynasties in the history of building the Thang Long capital. This area was recognized as a World Cultural Heritage site by UNESCO through a resolution (July 31, 2010).

Within the Thang Long Imperial Citadel, a World Heritage site, lies the working area of ​​the Politburo and the Central Military Commission during the years of the war against the US. Beneath the Citadel lies the D67 underground bunker. Built in 1965-1966, the D67 bunker is spacious, fully equipped, and modern. This bunker played an extremely important role in the protracted resistance war. The bunker has a semi-submerged structure made of monolithic concrete, with three layers of roofing, including two layers of concrete and a layer of sand in between, capable of withstanding bombs and missiles. The interior of the bunker is relatively modern, equipped with a system of maps, communication equipment, alarm sirens, and loudspeakers to announce enemy aircraft movements.

The delegates also visited the Museum of Ethnology, which preserves the cultural values ​​of Vietnam's ethnic groups. It houses over 15,000 artifacts, 42,000 films and photographs, interviews, and music from the 54 ethnic groups and communities of Vietnam.

Here are some photos of the Nghe An delegation visiting the two locations:
