The memorial site is a place of remembrance, marking the unique visit of Uncle Ho with the government delegation to Lao Cai. It is located on the premises of the former Lao Cai Power Plant, where Uncle Ho spent time visiting and encouraging the workers at the construction site of the power plant, which was nearing completion.

In the midst of the nation's myriad challenges, despite being occupied with hundreds of tasks, President Ho Chi Minh dedicated time to visit and work with the Party Committee and people of Lao Cai on September 23-24, 1958. Recognizing President Ho Chi Minh's immense contributions and cherishing his precious sentiments for his homeland Lao Cai, on the 40th anniversary of Uncle Ho's visit to Lao Cai (1958-1998), the People's Committee of Lao Cai province constructed the memorial area for President Ho Chi Minh. In 2022, the Memorial Site of President Ho Chi Minh in Lao Cai was officially recognized as a national-level historical site by the Ministry of Culture.
