An exhibition on the historical Ho Chi Minh Trail opened at the Thang Long Imperial Citadel in Hanoi on April 26, as part of activities to mark National Reunification Day (April 30, 1975-2024)) and the 65th anniversary of the legendary route (May 19, 1959-2024). On display are 100 documents and photos about the Ho Chi Minh Trail, also known as Truong Son road, which symbolises the willpower, courage and extraordinary creativity of the Vietnamese people. The Truong Son Trail was constructed in 1959 to carry supplies to the Southern battlefield during the resistance war against the US. For 16 years, the trail played a key role in the liberation of Southern Vietnam and the country’s reunification on April 30, 1975. The trail has become a legend and a symbol of the Vietnamese people’s resilient spirit and the solidarity between Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. The exhibition is open to visitors until May 31.
