So where exactly is Ms. S\u00e1u's grave located?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In April 1951, the French colonialists brought Ms. Vo Thi Sau to a military court. At the end of the trial, Ms. Sau was sentenced to death for being underage. Faced with strong opposition from public opinion, especially the progressive French people, the French colonialists did not dare to carry out Ms. Sau&#039;s death sentence in Saigon but secretly sent her to Con Dao.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The fateful train carrying Ms. Vo Thi Sau and 40 political prisoners departed for Con Dao on the morning of January 21, 1952. On January 23, 1952, the French colonialists took Ms. Sau to the execution ground for execution, but Ms. Sau still held her head high, not afraid of the enemy&#039;s guns. At the execution ground, before being executed, Ms. Vo Thi Sau asked not to be blindfolded and shouted loudly: &quot;Down with French colonialism! Long live an independent Vietnam! Long live Ho Chi Minh!&quot;.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After her death, the grave of martyr Vo Thi Sau was placed at Hang Duong cemetery - Con Dao. Entering this cemetery, it is not difficult for you to find her grave because this is a massive grave that stands out compared to other graves. Passing dozens of other martyrs&#039; graves, you will see her grave located on the left side of the main entrance, in area B of the cemetery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The tomb of Ms. Sau is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Con Dao, with many people coming to visit. In the smoke of incense, the crowd respectfully offers pure white flowers to commemorate the steadfast and indomitable heroine of the nation. In that crowd, there are not only tourists from other places but also Con Dao people, especially fishermen who often visit Ms. Sau&#039;s tomb before and after their trips to sea.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2365\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2365\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2365 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/phuquocexpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/mua-ve-tau-cao-toc-di-con-dao-4-1024x573.jpg\" alt=\"Take a speedboat to Con Dao to visit Vo Thi Sau&#039;s grave for spiritual tourism\" width=\"1024\" height=\"573\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2365\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hang Duong Cemetery is home to thousands of graves of Vietnamese soldiers and patriots.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Thoi_gian_tham_mo_co_Sau\"><\/span><strong>Time to visit Ms. Sau&#039;s grave<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most suitable time to visit the tomb of Miss Sau Con Dao is:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Beginning of the year<\/strong>: The period from January to March of the lunar calendar is a suitable time because the 23rd day of the first lunar month is her main death anniversary.
