Tuyen Quang research trip on 13th, March
In 3 days from Friday, 13th to
Sunday, 15th of March, VFCD including chairman, coordinators, international
volunteers and internships went to Tuyen Quang province and enjoyed 3 volunteer
days in countryside’s fresh air.
Tuyen Quang is a very nice place with
palm tree forests, tea farms, poetic streams and green fields that make up an
interesting destination to every people comes there.
Then we went to Tan Trao – the Green
Capital. Many historical stories were recalled when we arrived Na Lua hut, Tan
Trao Indian banyan tree and the Communal house. Our hearts were beaten up when
we saw all the remained witnesses of the Vietnamese giant revolution. Besides,
we also learnt some customs and habits of Tay ethnic minority through the story
involved in the Swear Stone of the fighting will in August 1945.
