Duc Thanh School & Ho Chi Minh Museum
Trường Dục Thanh
A private school where Ho Chi Minh taught in his youth (1910–1911). It now opens alongside the Binh Thuan branch of the Ho Chi Minh Museum.
Duc Thanh School was founded in 1907 by patriots including Phan Chu Trinh as a private school for teaching new learning. In 1910, Ho Chi Minh, then named Nguyễn Tất Thành, taught here for several months while traveling south, before heading to Saigon and going abroad. The school buildings are old wooden houses in the Vietnamese style, with preserved classrooms, dormitories, and a well. A tree Ho Chi Minh planted in the courtyard still stands. Next door, the Binh Thuan branch of the Ho Chi Minh Museum displays photographs and artifacts from his life. Admission is free or low-priced. The school is on the Cà Ty River, about 5 minutes' walk from Phan Thiet Water Tower.
