The misty, quiet atmosphere of the road through the winding hills and mountains brought us to Ba Be National Park, Bac Kan province. Ba Be Lake is a unique natural landscape of Bac Kan province and is listed by UNESCO in the list of 20 most beautiful freshwater lakes in the world that need to be protected and developed. Ba Be Lake also has beautiful landscapes associated with many historical relics and heroic feats of the nation such as Na Poong cave - Headquarters of Voice of Vietnam Radio during the resistance against the French invasion.

Leaving Bac Kan, our group continued the journey back to our roots, back to the revolutionary roots of Vietnam - Cao Bang town. Cao Bang is the northern borderland of the country, not only a place of charming mountains and innocent people, Cao Bang is also a land rich in historical, cultural and revolutionary traditions with relics. Famous landmarks such as: Coc Bo Cave (also known as Pac Bo), Kim Dong's Tomb, the place where the forerunner of the Vietnam People's Army was founded.
"Cao Bang" around the town is mountains and rivers with "Three sides of the three-sided river/ The four sides of the four pillars stand tall". Standing on high, we can clearly see the mountains, sometimes hidden, sometimes present with the same message, embracing the beautiful and gentle Cao Bang town. Not bright, not noisy, not modern, but Cao Bang is really charming in cold days. Cao Bang is like an image of a Tay girl holding a mandarin tree with a sad face. All have created a poetic and beautiful ink painting of the mountainous region.
The first destination of the delegation in Cao Bang was Ban Gioc waterfall - considered the most beautiful waterfall in Vietnam - where there are majestic scenery, like the fairy scene in the Quy Son stream, Cao Bang. The waterfall not only brings the beauty of the majestic natural landscape, but also immerses in the legendary love story of the mountain couple.

Leaving Ban Gioc waterfall, our group continued to the revolutionary stream Pac Bo relic site. Along the two sides of the 40km long road, there are houses on stilts, terraced fields, cool streams, etc., which have beautified the picture for the top land of the country. Stopping at the exhibition house of Pac Bo relic site, we saw the typewriter, the old rattan, rubber sandals, the simple indigo shirt, etc. that Uncle used. All those memorabilia became sacred, as if still carrying the warmth of him, a person whom "our people call him Uncle - All life is of the country". On the way to the center of Pac Bo relic site, the delegation visited Uncle Ho's temple, which was built spaciously on the hill "Pô Teng Chay", amidst the sacred sentiments of the Party, the State and the people here.

The delegation held an incense offering ceremony to commemorate the great President Ho Chi Minh, the hero of national liberation
Inside the temple, the most solemn place in the main hall is a full body statue of Uncle Ho with a serene sitting posture, above it is the inscription Hong Nhat Cao Minh (the red sun shines from above), on the left. The statue is engraved with Uncle Ho's four great poems: "Mountain far away, river far away/ It must be wide to call it / Here is Lenin stream, there is Mac mountain / Two hands build a mountain". On the 4 walls of the temple are reliefs carved on stone, although rustic, but lively, on which have recreated the entire life of Uncle Ho's revolutionary activities since he returned to the country on February 8, 1941 to the date of national independence in August 1945.

Along with the flow of people entering the temple to offer incense, the whole group was moved with an infinite sense of gratitude for Uncle Ho's merits for the country.

Mr. Dao Dinh Thiem - Secretary of the Party Committee wrote his thoughts

Pac Bo is the origin of the Vietnamese revolution. Milestone 108 - is the place where in 1941, Uncle Ho, after more than 30 years of wandering to find a way to save the country, returned to the Fatherland, returned to the motherland in the first day of spring "Oh this spring morning, spring 41/white plum blossom blooms at the border forest/Uncle returned silently when the bird sang/The reeds were happy and amazed".
At Pac Bo, he outlined a way and a strategy to lead and steer the Vietnamese revolutionary boat to victory. Because this place has " Clement weather, favourable terrain and concord among the people". Visiting Coc Bo cave - where Uncle used to live and work, we feel more respect and admiration for his great personality. Uncle Ho's residence was very simple, guava leaves were boiled into drinking water instead of tea, Uncle set a rustic stone table to translate the history of the Soviet revolution as training materials for revolutionary cadres. However, he was still very calm, optimistic, free, still immersed in nature, even though life was difficult, Uncle still had immortal poems "going to the river bank in the morning, entering the cave in the evening/Porridge with bamboo shoots is still ready/The stone table is unstable to translate the Party's history/The revolutionary life is really luxurious.
Today, we can set foot on Uncle Ho's path, the wise path of the hero of national liberation, like feeling a strong and resilient vitality in the heroic Pac Bo homeland. Mac Mountain still stands tall, silhouetted against the green, gentle Lenin stream as if it were still singing a song praising President Ho Chi Minh. Cao Bang today has changed, but the people of Pac Bo - Cao Bang still have one heart towards the Party, one heart towards the beloved Uncle and still remember Mr. Ke holding a stick, walking briskly. Overcoming fatigue and cold in the highlands, we were able to return to Uncle Ho and continue on his path. That road is still imprinted with Uncle Ho's image, Lenin mountain, and Cac Mac stream still sing songs about him.

Leaving Cao Bang, we returned, but in each of us, we all feel proud of a red address that our young generation always turns to to nurture the will and revolutionary energy, Cao Bang is the source. , is a stream that flows endlessly, always accreting and raising the steps for the development of the country. The trip is also an opportunity for Gas South Party members and staff to experience in practice the theoretical problems in books into reality. Besides, this is a great political activity occasion of the Party Committee, in order to promote the study and follow the moral example and style of Ho Chi Minh, an opportunity for each Party member and trade union member to express their own will to overcome the difficulties, actively take the lead in carrying out assigned political and professional tasks.
