Tu Tong ferry station
Located peacefully on the red alluvial Red River, Tu Tong wharf (now in Tu Lien, Tay Ho ward, Hanoi) is a historical witness, marking the heroic history of the Capital during the resistance war against the French colonialists. Before the August Revolution, the ancient land of the Four Generals was one of the centers of the revolutionary movement in Hanoi, where many cadres were hidden and protected. When the guns of the National Resistance broke out, Tu Tong wharf quickly became a strategic traffic artery connecting the inner city with the safe base area of Dong Anh. The pinnacle of the victory here took place on the night of January 15, 1947, when the self-defense forces and people of Tu Tong bravely rowed boats carrying officers, soldiers and weapons across the Red River safely under a hail of enemy bullets. The silent sacrifice and the spirit of "death for the Fatherland" of the people here made an important contribution to protecting the core forces of the revolution in the arduous early days. Now that the war has receded, the old wharf has been labeled by the State as a historical relic of the revolutionary resistance. This place has become a sacred "red address", reminding today's young generation of the patriotism and resilient revolutionary tradition of their ancestors. According to: Hanoi New Newspaper
