“Tracking the diary” tour to open

      Quang Ngai province plans to put the road leading to the place where heroine Doctor Dang Thuy Tram died 39 years ago into operation late this July.
The 6km long road links Highway 1A, from My Trang pass in Duc Pho district with Liet Son reservoir next to Ba To district.
Interestingly, from the over 30-year-old reservoir, tourists can be ferried to famous places including Duc Pho Clinic and the site where doctor Dang Thuy Tram laid down her life. The boat, that can accommodate about 40 people, is equipped with sufficient services and safety equipment.
However, to reach the destinations, tourists have to experience an interesting and hard journey. Greeting them after temporarily saying goodbye to the forest, with Hre ethnic people’s houses on stilts, will be several quite vertical slopes where a clinic was located during the wartime.
The journey or the tour named “Tracking the diary” will take tourists to the old trenches where the former Duc Pho clinic was located.
From the entrance of the trench, tourists can hear the sound of a stream. Whoever has read Dang Thuy Tram’s diary may recall the image of Xang and Lanh sisters wading across the stream before disappearing into the forest.
It takes about 20 more minutes from those trenches to the place witnessing the death of Thuy Tram in 1970. After eight years of resting in peace there, the late doctor Dang Thuy Tram’s remains were brought to Hanoi.
This is a meaningful tour designed by the Saigontourist and Quang Ngai province to take readers of Dang Thuy Tram’s diary to the heart-touching place in memory of the late heroine.
