To mark the 81st anniversary of the death of President Ho Chi Minh's father, Nguyen Sinh Sac, authorities of Dong Thap in the Mekong Delta will open the Nguyen Sinh Sac Tourist Area in the Province's Cao Lanh City.

Sac came to Dong Thap in 1917 to teach and give medical treatment to local residents until he died in 1929. When completed, the area, which is located on 9.3ha, will have Vietnamese culture and history displays and a traditional craft village of nine wooden houses built in the traditional southern style. Displays will include palm leaf weaving, metal forging and carpentry, all jobs that Nguyen Sinh Sac did in the province. The village will also feature canals, rows of coconut trees, vegetable farms, maize and sugarcane fields.

Tourists can participate in traditional farming and learn about southern culture when they visit the village, which will open to the public in mid-2011.
