Delegations, teachers and pupils participating in the incense offering ceremony at K9 - Da Chong site

At this location, back in 1957, during a visit to the 316th Division rehearsal by the Da River, Uncle Ho stopped for lunch on the top of the hill, at the foot of 3 majestic rocks. He chose this position as the Central Base to prevent war that could expand nationwide. In 1960, the Barracks Department of the General Department of Logistics built a stilt house to serve as a meeting and resting place for Uncle Ho and the Central Politburo. Surrounded by a fortified fortification system, this area was named K9 construction site. On September 2, 1969, President Ho Chi Minh passed away. The Party and the State chose K9 as a place to invest in technical equipment to preserve Uncle Ho's body.
