Exhibition on legendary Ho Chi Minh Trail opens
Nam Giang district and the Quang Nam Museum, in coordination with the Nam Giang District People’s Committee, opened the “Legend of Truong Son” exhibition on May 16.
In May 1959, the General Military Commission and the Ministry of Defence decided to establish a special military task force, later known as Group 559. This group was tasked with opening a supply route to transport goods and organise the movement of soldiers and officials from North to South Vietnam and vice-versa. The route was inaugurated on the birthday of President Ho Chi Minh, and thus was called the Ho Chi Minh Trail.
