Ancient heroes inspire journalists

(Baonghean.vn) - As part of the series of early spring activities of Nghe An Newspaper - Sightseeing associated with improving professional skills, the delegation of officers, reporters, and technicians of the Economic and Electronic Departments chose the Ho Dynasty Citadel and Lam Kinh, Thanh Hoa Province as their destinations.

The two destinations the Delegation visited were both historical and cultural relics: Ho Dynasty Citadel (also known as Tay Do Citadel, Tay Giai Citadel, An Ton Citadel, etc.) was the capital of King Ho Quy Ly, built in 1397 on the land of two communes, Vinh Tien and Vinh Long (today's Vinh Loc district). In June 2011, Ho Dynasty Citadel was recognized by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage. Lam Kinh (in Xuan Lam commune, Tho Xuan district) was the birthplace of the Lam Son uprising against the Ming army (1418) and was the capital and burial place of 6 kings of the early Le dynasty, starting with King Le Loi (Le Thai To) who ascended the throne (1428), opening the feudal dynasties of Dai Viet, of the 362 years of the Le dynasty.

Coming to this sacred land, journalists not only learned more about the history of building and defending the country, about the heroes who liberated the nation, but also heard many fascinating and mysterious legends and myths, heard about the tradition of patriotism and the awareness of the local people to protect the precious heritage of the nation. Although not many, the remaining relics also ignited the fire of enthusiasm in each member of the delegation. Whether it was mature photojournalists like Minh Thong, Phan Toan, Tran Hai... or young reporters who were still confused when holding the camera, but all were enthusiastic and enthusiastic, following the tour guide to record audio and video, hunting for ancient architectural patterns to press the shutter, standing on wet grass or climbing high rocks to get the best shooting angle... Even during meals, on the bus while traveling, everyone was still enthusiastically exchanging, debating, and guiding each other.

It can be said that all members of the Delegation had a fruitful trip. Here are some excerpts from those achievements.
