Revolutionary base area of Hoa Vang District Party Committee
Hoa Vang District Party Committee's revolutionary base is located in the triangle area of Phu Tuc - O Ray - Tong Coi mountains, in Hoa Vang ward. With rugged mountainous terrain, this place was once an important base for revolutionary forces in the two resistance wars against the French colonialists and the American imperialists. From the years 1947–1949, the Dong Xanh - Dong Nghe area was chosen as the location for the leadership of the Hoa Vang District Party Committee. By 1955, the Quang Da Provincial Party Committee built the Hoa Vang West wing revolutionary base (codename B1), turning this place into the center for directing the revolutionary movement of the western and northwestern regions. During this time, Da Nang Stone and Non Nuoc Stone became sacred symbols of patriotism and the will to fight resiliently. Since 1960, the triangle area of Phu Tuc - O Ray - Tong Coi continued to be chosen as the resistance base of the Hoa Vang District Party Committee. This is the workplace, direction and activity of many district leaders, and is also the venue for conferences, Party congresses, military and political training for revolutionary forces during the years of resistance against the US.

Hai Van Quan
Hai Van Quan is a defensive military project built in 1826, during the reign of King Minh Mang. The relic is located on top of Hai Van Pass at an altitude of about 496 m above sea level, at the border between Hue city and Da Nang city. This is a strategic location on the North - South traffic route, and is also the gateway to protect the capital Hue from the south. Since the time of the Nguyen Lords, Hai Van Pass has been considered a dangerous land, playing an important military and defensive role. When the Nguyen Dynasty chose Hue as its capital, this place was considered the "throat" of the country. Therefore, King Minh Mang built Hai Van Quan to control the Thien Ly road and strengthen the protection of the capital. The project includes two large city gates built of brick and stone in a rolling arch architecture. The gate facing Da Nang is engraved with three words "Hai Van Pass", while the gate facing Hue is engraved with six words "The most majestic pass in the world" - a praise for the majestic beauty and critical position of Hai Van Pass. Surrounding the gate is a solid wall system with military items such as garrisons, weapons warehouses and observation positions. Through many historical upheavals, especially during the French colonial period and the war, Hai Van Quan was converted into a military base, many original architectural items were destroyed or degraded. By 2017, the monument was ranked as a National Monument, and from 2021, Hue and Da Nang have coordinated to implement a restoration project, restoring important items, contributing to restoring the original appearance of the building. Today, Hai Van Quan is not only a historical relic of special value but also a famous stop on the Hai Van pass road. From here, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of the mountains, the sea and one of the most beautiful coastal roads in Vietnam. With unique historical, architectural and landscape values, Hai Van Quan is a destination not to be missed in the journey to explore the Central region. According to: Vietnam News Agency
