In recent years in Vietnam, educating cultural features through lessons and subjects of history and geography has been paid much attention. This study mainly uses qualitative analysis, synthesis and inductive methods, together with explanatory and dialectical materialism methods. Our research results show that there are many strengths in organizing historical site visiting trips for students to learn more in history and geography subjects, esp. In outside classroom. Khuon Manh forest, Nui Van and Nui Vo in Thai Nguyen cities are good historical places to visit, combined with visualizing teaching methods via pictures, video, doc films and movies can offer our students with attractive lessons and remember our lectures. Or In Ha Giang province, instructors and students can visit King Cat Palace for interesting historical and geographical lessons.Finally, our paper will propose policy implications and recommendations.
