 |
|
| |
Located approximately 2km from Cao Lanh Town, the tomb was built in memory Junior Doctoral Laureate of Court exams Nguyen Sinh Sac, father of President Ho Chi Minh. The main structure of the tomb has the roof facing the east. It evokes a stylized lotus petal or a palm turning downward, above it are 9 dragons imbued with the features of folk art, paved with granite the tomb raises on a high platform. It is an ash-gray rectangular-shaped tomb. There is a lotus pond looking like a five-petal star, 25m to the front; in the middle of the lake is a stylized lotus-shaped white tower 6.5m high (from the surface of the lake) symbolizing the pure and modest life of Nguyen Sinh Sac and his homeland of Kim Lien-Dong Thap as engraved on the mind of the Vietnamese people. In the tomb there is also an octagonal house where the objects and documents related to Nguyen Sinh Sac, his wife Hoang Thi Loan and President Ho Chi Minh are displayed.
The whole tomb is purely white and is in great harmony with the backdrop made of hundreds of plants, fruits and ornamental trees presented by people from all over the country. Annually, on the 27th day of the 10th lunar month people from provinces in Me Kong River Delta and other gather together for arranging death anniversary in solemn, ceremonial atmosphere.
