Tomb of President Ho Chi Minh's mother

During her years living in Hoang Tru, she worked in the fields and weaved cloth, helping her husband study and raising her children to adulthood. In 1894, Nguyen Sinh Sac passed the Bachelor's degree, the highest degree of the Nghe An provincial examination. In 1895, Hoang Thi Loan and her husband moved to Hue to support her husband's education and take care of the family. In 1900, she gave birth to a fourth child, Nguyen Sinh Xin. Due to the difficult living conditions, Hoang Thi Loan fell seriously ill and passed away on December 22, Canh Ty year (February 10, 1901) in Hue capital. She was buried by the people at Ban mountain in Tam Tang range in Hue.

In 1922, Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh brought her mother's remains back to be buried in the garden of Lang Sen village. In 1942, Mr. Nguyen Sinh Khiem traveled to many places in Nam Dan, Hung Nguyen and chose a beautiful location in Dong Tranh Thap mountain in Dai Hue range in Huu Biet commune, now Nam Giang commune, Nam Dan district, Nghe An province and brought his mother's remains to rest in eternal peace.

The tomb of Mrs. Hoang Thi Loan is a project that has both great cultural and spiritual significance, so the design must achieve solemnity, simplicity, and national identity, closely connected with nature but still outstanding. The main image of the project is the lotus flower - the symbol of Kim Lien's homeland, and represents the beauty of her life.

The tomb of Mrs. Hoang Thi Loan consists of many construction items, of which the tomb is the main construction. Her remains are kept in place. The tomb is designed as a stylized lotus flower, with a complete lotus base, lotus platform and lotus heart. The length of the tomb is 3.27m, width 2.265m, height 1.88m. The tomb base and body are made of gold sand stone imported from India. The stylized lotus platform above the tomb wall is made of Yen Bai white stone. The tomb cover symbolizes the pistil of the lotus flower, carved with the stylized character "Tho", representing the yin and yang of heaven and earth according to folk beliefs.

Behind is a relief made of Yen Bai white stone (divided into 5 blocks). The relief is crafted in the style of ancient works with distinct parts: the base, the body and the top of the base. The base is simply designed. The body is sophisticatedly designed, with intricate patterns. The main idea of the pattern detail is the embossed image of a lotus pond. Above the lotus pond is the image of "Cuu van quan tu" which means 9 clouds gathering, symbolizing the sacred image, converging the sacred energy of heaven and earth. Running around the relief is a stylized border of lotus petals. Finally, the top of the relief is inscribed with the words "Mother Hoang Thi Loan's Tomb".

The path up and down for visitors to visit the tomb was built along the mountainside on both sides of the tomb. The path up has 266 steps to the semicircular courtyard. The path down has 262 steps from the semicircular courtyard down to the gate, made of monolithic stone. From the semicircular courtyard to the tomb there are 33 steps corresponding to the age of Mrs. Hoang Thi Loan when she died.

Also buried on Dong Tranh mountain is the tomb of Mrs. Ha Thi Hy - Uncle Ho's grandmother, and the tomb of Mr. Nguyen Sinh Xin - Uncle Ho's younger brother. Mrs. Ha Thi Hy was born in the year of Giap Ngo (1834). At the age of 28 (1861), she married Mr. Nguyen Sinh Nham and gave birth to a son named Nguyen Sinh Sac. Mrs. Ha Thi Hy passed away in 1866 at the age of 32 due to a serious illness. In 1942, Mr. Nguyen Sinh Khiem (President Ho Chi Minh's brother, grandson of Mrs. Ha Thi Hy) and his relatives brought the remains of his grandmother and mother to rest here.
