As the center of the Viet Bac base, Tuyen Quang became the "headquarters" where President Ho Chi Minh and the Party Central Committee directly led the August 1945 General Uprising to victory. During the preparation for the general uprising, the people of all ethnic groups in Tuyen Quang province contributed food, provisions, and built tents and houses for the Central agencies. At the same time, local armed forces were arranged to increase patrols, guard, and security, ensuring absolute safety for the leaders and the central agencies.

Also in Tan Trao, many important events of the nation took place such as the National Conference of the Party (August 13-15, 1945), the National Congress (August 16-17, 1945) decided important issues, ordered a general uprising and mobilized the people of the whole country to rise up to seize power.
