Quang Trung and Ngoc Hoi – Dong Da victory exhibition house

From a peasant uprising movement that rose up to overthrow the heavy oppression of the Trinh and Nguyen feudal groups, the Tay Son War under the genius leadership of the hero in commoner’s clothing, Quang Trung, assumed the mission of defeating foreign invading armies, firmly protecting national independence, and achieving national reunification. The peak of the war was the defeat of nearly 300,000 Manchu invaders in the spring of the Year of the Rooster. In 1789, the victory over Ngoc Hoi – Dong Da was a key battle, decisive in defeating the invading enemy and liberating Thang Long.

In the illustrious history of our nation’s resistance against foreign invaders, it is one of the most resounding victories, an excellent strategic battle that represents the will to win and the strong vitality of our nation. In just about ten days of fighting, our army and people under the great leadership of Quang Trung wiped out nearly 300,000 invaders and liberated the country.

Based on the research achievements of historians and the collection results of the Museum industry in recent years, the Quang Trung and Ngoc Hoi – Dong Da Victory Exhibition House widely introduces to the public many documents and artifacts about the Tay Son War and the process leading to the Ngoc Hoi – Dong Da victory to help people understand more about that great history of the nation.
