In May 1945, facing the rapid developments and demands of the revolutionary situation, Uncle Ho moved from Cao Bang to Tuyen Quang to direct the revolutionary movement nationwide. He chose Tan Trao commune as the capital of the liberated zone, the revolutionary base. Here, the Party Central Committee and Uncle Ho made important decisions, successfully leading the general uprising to seize power throughout the country in August 1945.
Ms. Lo Thi Tam, a tour guide at the Tan Trao National Special Relic Site, said: Here, after a serious illness, Uncle Ho advised comrade Vo Nguyen Giap with the immortal words: "Now the favorable opportunity has come, no matter how much sacrifice, even if we have to burn the entire Truong Son range, we must resolutely gain independence."
Tan Trao - The Capital of the Liberated Zone played a huge role in the success of the August Revolution, being the center for directing the general uprising and seizing power nationwide. Every year, many tourists come to the Tan Trao Special National Relic Site as a journey back to the source. Especially, on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the Tan Trao National Congress, the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution, the relic site welcomed thousands of visitors from all over the country.
Tan Trao today is wearing a new and vibrant appearance. It is easy to see that the spacious houses are built close together, along with the asphalt and concrete road system reaching all the villages and hamlets. The average income is 52 million VND/person/year, far exceeding the previous level. The commune maintains national standards on health , the rate of households meeting cultural standards is up to 90%, and 22/22 villages have met cultural standards.
Tan Trao has been maximizing the advantages of historical relics to develop sustainable tourism . In the first 6 months of 2025 alone, Tan Trao Special National Monument welcomed over 500,000 visitors. This is an impressive number, showing the strong attraction of this historical destination.
Along with tourism, agriculture is also an important pillar in the economic development of Tan Trao. The Party Committee and the commune government pay special attention to propaganda and mobilization of people to change the structure of crops and livestock, apply science and technology to improve productivity and product quality. Many local agricultural products have met OCOP standards, affirming their brands and values such as Tan Trao honey achieving 3-star OCOP, leaf yeast wine and especially Vinh Tan tea products achieving 4-star OCOP standards.
Comrade Duong Minh Tuan, Chairman of Tan Trao Commune People's Committee affirmed: "In recent years, Tan Trao has undergone comprehensive changes, achieving important achievements, especially in the fields of economic, cultural and tourism development, contributing to improving people's lives. Tan Trao is proud to be the first commune in Tuyen Quang province to be recognized as meeting new rural standards. After the merger to establish a new commune, despite many difficulties and challenges, the Party Committee, government and people of Tan Trao are determined to promote the revolutionary tradition, solidarity, and join hands to build an increasingly prosperous and civilized homeland."
Tan Trao today is growing strongly, becoming a bright spot in socio-economic development on the solid foundation of revolutionary tradition. Echoes from the glorious past still resound, blending with the beat of new vitality, creating a Tan Trao that develops comprehensively and sustainably.
