From May 16 to 20, 2025, the Quang Tri Center for Investment, Trade and Tourism Promotion (IPA Quang Tri) organized a delegation to participate in the exhibition titled “Ho Chi Minh – The Most Beautiful Name”, held at the Nghe An Provincial Cultural Center (Vinh City), as part of the Sen Village Festival 2025—a major cultural event commemorating the 135th birth anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh (May 19, 1890 – May 19, 2025).

The exhibition "Ho Chi Minh – The Most Beautiful Name" vividly recreated the life, career, and noble ideology of President Ho Chi Minh through more than 400 carefully curated images, documents, and precious artifacts. Each photograph, page of writing, and personal memento told a unique story—offering historical insights closely tied to his life journey. From his days in secret revolutionary activities to his humble daily life; from his final teachings to his impact on international friends, all came together to paint a portrait of a leader who was deeply ordinary, yet profoundly great.
With its large scale, the exhibition space was thoughtfully arranged into prominent thematic clusters, including: “President Ho Chi Minh – National Liberation Hero,” “Distinguished Cultural Icon,” “Ho Chi Minh in the Hearts of International Friends,” “Uncle Ho with the People’s Police, Armed Forces, and Youth,” and “Uncle Ho and the Ethnic Communities of Vietnam.” A wide range of valuable documents, literary and journalistic works, archival photographs, and national treasures associated with President Ho Chi Minh were showcased. Notable among them were “Duong Kach Menh” (The Revolutionary Path), “Prison Diary,” and his “Testament,” along with numerous poems, articles, petitions, and indictments of French colonialism, all of which highlighted the profound ideology and noble character of the great leader. The exhibition also incorporated cutting-edge technology such as the multi-sensory Immersive Room, 3D image projection, and 5.1 surround sound systems, enhancing visitor interaction and emotional depth. Artistic highlights included the space “Lotus in Vietnamese Cultural Life,” featuring lotus-inspired áo dài performances, propaganda posters, Ho Chi Minh-themed stamps, and traditional handicrafts made from lotus materials—each a heartfelt tribute to the revered leader.

At this event, IPA Quang Tri collaborated with several local businesses to organize a booth showcasing and promoting the province's tourism potential, products, and image to a wide audience. Travel publications and vivid displays of iconic destinations such as the Quang Tri Citadel, Vinh Moc Tunnels, and Hien Luong Bridge – Ben Hai River captured visitors’ attention. In addition, signature local products including medicinal herbal extracts, herbal tea, dried bananas, and turmeric starch were presented and received strong interest from attendees.
Throughout the four days of the exhibition, Quang Tri's booth welcomed thousands of visitors who came to explore and experience the offerings. Guests were especially impressed by the richness of the province’s tourism resources and the unique cultural identity and heroic history associated with the land of Quang Tri.

Participating in the exhibition was not only an act of tribute and remembrance for President Ho Chi Minh, but also an important opportunity for Quang Tri to expand its tourism promotion efforts, showcase its cultural and tourism products, and establish connections with visitors and businesses from provinces and cities across the country.
The Sen Village Festival 2025 featured a variety of vibrant activities, including art performances such as “Flowers of May Offered to Uncle Ho,” “Songs for Uncle Ho,” and exchanges with outstanding individuals from the “Youth Following Uncle Ho’s Teachings” movement, creating a festive atmosphere that was both solemn and lively, attracting numerous visitors from near and far.
On this occasion, the Organizing Committee of the “Ho Chi Minh – The Most Beautiful Name” exhibition presented commemorative symbols and Certificates of Merit to participating units for their active contributions, which played a key role in the success of the exhibition in particular and the 2025 Sen Village Festival as a whole.
