The completed project contributes to creating a green, clean, and beautiful landscape, leaving a deep and special impression of the Vietnam Cooperative Alliance in the hearts of the people of Nghe An province in particular and domestic and foreign tourists in general.
The project "Cooperatives with Uncle Ho" will also serve as a "red address" for disseminating and educating cadres, officials, and workers throughout the Vietnam Cooperative Union system about the revolutionary traditions, thoughts, ethics, lifestyle, style, and simple yet noble image of Uncle Ho.
The project includes a 4-hectare lotus pond, two rest areas, two visitor bridges, flowerbeds and ornamental plants, and decorative lighting. The total value amounts to 8 billion VND.
The lotus flowers planted in the lotus pond are a high-yield variety, transplanted from Dong Thap, where the tomb of Nguyen Sinh Sac, the father of President Ho Chi Minh, is located.
