Introduction
Me Tri Ha Communal House – a site that marks the day Uncle Ho came to visit
Me Tri Ha Communal House is a national-level historical and artistic architectural relic, tied to the cultural life of the people of Me Tri village. The communal house preserves the beauty of traditional Northern Vietnamese architecture and a memorable milestone in local history: the day President Ho Chi Minh visited the people of Me Tri.
The communal house worships the tutelary deities Cao Son and Quy Minh, along with Ly Bi and Ly Phat Tu. The tiled roof, carved panels, royal edicts, and ritual objects help visitors learn about the beliefs and art of village communal houses across many periods.
On January 12, 1958, President Ho Chi Minh visited Me Tri and spoke with local officials and residents at the commune's anti-drought conference. The event, held at the village communal house, has become a memory cherished and preserved by many generations of local people. Visiting here, travelers can experience a rural cultural space amid the urban life of western Hanoi.
