Dear visitors!

The relic of President Ho Chi Minh's childhood at Duong No village is located 7km to the East of Hue city center, in Phu Duong commune, Hue city. Since ancient times, Duong No is a well-off village, rich in cultural traditions, with the spirit of hard work, the residents here have turned the low and hollow marshland into fertile fields and green gardens all year round. Duong No village also has an ancient communal house, a majestic temple, with a clear Pho Loi river flowing through, which has added to the charm and lyricism of a quiet and peaceful village. This small village is the place where President Ho Chi Minh and his elder brother followed his father to live here from 1898 to 1900.

Keeping the imprints of President Ho Chi Minh's childhood at Duong No village, many relics have been preserved, embellished and promoted their values. In addition to Communal House, Am Ba, Ben Da, there is a particularly important relic as the memorial house about President Ho Chi Minh, where he lived, studied and closely associated with the landscape and people here.

After three years of President Ho Chi Minh's family living in the inner citadel house in Hue, in 1898, Mr. Nguyen Sinh Sac, President Ho Chi Minh’s father, took the Metropolitan exam for the second time, the Mau Tuat faculty, and still did not pass. After this failed exam, Mr. Sac did not receive a scholarship from Imperial Academy anymore, so his family life faced many difficulties. Faced with that situation, Mr. Nguyen Viet Chuyen, a staff from Ministry of Justice introduced Mr. Nguyen Sinh Sac to Mr. Nguyen Si Do's house at Duong No village to work as a teacher. Mr. Do's family has three sons who have reached school age but have not been able to find a teacher. When he heard that Mr. Sac was a Confucian scholar of Nghe An who was good at literature and he was introduced by the same village person as an official in the court, so Mr. Do rented a boat to Dong Ba wharf to take Mr. Sac to his house to teach his sons. In order to reduce burdens on the family, and at the same time have more conditions to study for the third exam, Mr. Sac accepted and discussed with his wife to stay at the house in the Inner Citadel, while he took his two children to Duong No village to take care of them and be convenient for teaching. Mr. Sac's family life has since been "one family and two places", Nguyen Sinh Khiem, Nguyen Sinh Cung (the name of President Ho Chi Minh when he was a child) temporarily left their mother and followed their father to live at Duong No village.

Dear visitors!

Going to Duong No village, Mr. Nguyen Sinh Sac's family was assigned a small house by Mr. Nguyen Si Do, both for living and for teaching. This house was originally bought by Nguyen Si Do and his wife to be a place of future worship for the mother-in-law. Mr. Nguyen Si Do and his wife decided to make house ownership for their son, Nguyen Si Khuyen, who was only 13 years old at that time, and Mr. Nguyen Si Do’s mother-in-law was still alive. The house had no one to take care of, so it was temporarily assigned for Nguyen Sinh Sac to open a teaching class.
