The enchanting beauty of Lam River - Nguoc Mountain

(Baonghean.vn) - Lam River - Nguoc Mountain in Ngoc Son and Thanh Ngoc communes (Thanh Chuong district) is a well-known place. Not only famous for its beautiful river and mountain shapes, but this place is also a red address with the folk saying "hundreds of bombs cannot shake the mountain cliffs" during the resistance war against America.

According to legend, Ru Nguoc was once the base of Princess Ngoc, daughter of King Ngo Quyen, during the 12 warlords' rebellion at the end of the 10th century. From the mid-16th century to the end of the 17th century, this was the place where many bloody battles between feudal groups took place... Ru Nguoc is also considered the birthplace of the Nguyen Canh family, famous for many famous generals and officials.

During the destructive wars of the American empire, Ru Nguoc was the "only way" on the vital route 15 connecting Ninh Binh, Thanh Hoa through Tan Ky, Do Luong to Can Loc, Khe Giao to Quang Binh. As well as the key points of Truong Bon, Cau Gang... the enemy dropped many bombs and bullets here.

So much so that folk tales about the fierceness, will and bravery of the army and people in the heroic Ru Nguoc still resonate today: "At the foot of Ru Nguoc, bombs were as thick as chaff" but "hundreds of bombs still did not wear down the mountain cliffs", with the determination to "fill Rao Gang to level Nguoc mountain", "no regrets until the car has passed the house"...

During those years of fierce fighting, along with organizing counter-aircraft operations and mine clearance, Thanh Chuong district advocated building a 5km long loop road behind Ru Nguoc to regularly clear the way for vehicles to the front line. Ru Nguoc became a place where bombs and bullets clashed with the will to win, contributing to beautifying the tradition of the revolutionary homeland.

Ru Nguoc and surrounding areas such as Ngoc Son, Thanh Ngoc communes, Thanh Chuong town are on the rise in the renovation process, becoming attractive destinations for investment in industrial construction and tourism. The dangerous road has been and is being invested in expanding to reduce the dangers. Lam River - Nui Nguoc has been, is and will forever be a symbol of resilience, indomitability, loyalty and humanity of Thanh Chuong district.
