(VOVWORLD) - Summer has come to the central region. The heat does not prevent pilgrims from visiting historical sites in Quang Binh and Quang Tri provinces. Every day, the Cave of eight ladies, the Truong Son National Martyrs' Cemetery, the Road number 9 Martyrs' Cemetery, and Quang Tri Citadel are flooded with fresh flowers. Everyone pays their gratitude for the heroes who fell for the motherland’s independence and freedom.
