Historical relic of Con Tau weapons reception station
Con Tau weapons receiving port relic site is located in Con Egg hamlet, Truong Long Hoa commune, Duyen Hai district, Tra Vinh province. In July 1959, to provide resources for the Southern revolution in the war against America to save the country, the Politburo decided to establish a military transport unit at sea - Group 759 (later changed to Group 125). By early 1961, the Central Government issued instructions to provinces including Ba Ria, Ben Tre, Tra Vinh, and Ca Mau to prepare yards and organize ships to the North to explore routes to transport weapons to the South. In September 1962, comrade Pham Thai Buong, Member of the Party Central Committee, Member of the Central Committee of the Southern Department, decided to establish Group 962 to manage the weapons receiving ports in the provinces. Tra Vinh wharf is directly in charge of comrade Le Van Sen (Nam Sen) - Deputy Political Commissar of Group 162. At this time, the Tra Vinh Provincial Party Committee decided to choose two coastal communes, Truong Long Hoa and Long Vinh, in Duyen Hai district (now communes: Truong Long Hoa and Dan Thanh in Duyen Hai town; Dong Hai and Long Vinh communes). in Duyen Hai district) to open a weapons receiving station. Ben cluster 1 is in the area of Rach Co - La Ghi, wharf cluster 2 is in the area of Phuoc Thien, Ho Tau, Khau Lau, Lang Nuoc. These areas are revolutionary bases and are always the target of enemy attacks, so hiding and transporting weapons is extremely difficult. On March 17, 1963, Tra Vinh Wharf received the first train into Phuoc Thien Wharf. With a terrain of interlaced rivers and mangrove forests with many low trees, ships with large tonnage could be pressed into to camouflage, and the ship was safely hidden. Next was the second trip to Lang Nuoc airport carrying 70 tons of weapons. From 1963 to 1966, Tra Vinh Wharf welcomed 16 trips with 689 tons of cargo. Con Tau Port alone welcomed 10 flights, of which in 1963 welcomed 4 flights, in 1964 welcomed 6 flights. Although operating for only a short time, Tra Vinh Wharf is an important link of the Ho Chi Minh maritime route and Con Tau Wharf is the focus of that important link. In 2004, Con Tau Weapons Receiving Wharf was recognized as a national historical-cultural relic. By 2010, the Con Tau Weapons Receiving Wharf relic area was invested in construction and put into operation with an area of 1.2 hectares, including a memorial stele and a house displaying images and artifacts associated with the soldiers' victories.

Phuoc My Tu relic
Phuoc My Pagoda relic is located in Ben Chua hamlet, Hiep My Tay commune, Cau Ngang district. Phuoc My Pagoda is also known as Cay Quan Pagoda or Ba So Pagoda. It is called Cay Quan Pagoda because in the past there was a large Curly tree on the river bank in front of the pagoda, so people took this feature to name the pagoda. It is called Ba So Pagoda because the pagoda was founded by Mrs. Pham Thi Do, also known as Ba So, a Go Cong immigrant who came here to settle down in 1886. The pagoda is located on a campus of more than 1 hectare, in front of the Thau Rau river. The river wharf during the resistance war was the Provincial Party Committee Base Area (Base Area Hamlet 5, My Long). About 500m south of the pagoda is the District Party Committee Base area (Ray Tieu Base Area). During the two resistance wars against the French and Americans, the pagoda was the base of the revolution, a stopping place for many units. The monks and Buddhists wholeheartedly supported, protected and contributed money to serve the resistance war. People always believe in the Party in the revolutionary cause, so this place is a support for the Cau Ngang District Party Committee to build a resistance base. As soon as the Hiep My Cell was born, the Cell chose the pagoda as one of the meeting and propaganda locations to launch fighting movements and received a strong response from the masses. After the Cochinchina uprising, the revolutionary movement subsided, Ba So Pagoda welcomed Comrade Tam Su, who was assigned to be the abbot of the pagoda to cover the enemy's eyes in rebuilding the base. Comrades were cared for and protected by Buddhists. During the "Long Resistance War" to control the revolutionary movement in the region, in June 1951 the French colonialists brought Leon Leroy from Ben Tre to use a ship along the Thau Rau River to station at Ba So Pagoda. But just one month later, with the support of Buddhists, our Company 380 attacked the station, causing heavy casualties. Entering the anti-American phase, Ba So pagoda continued to be the headquarters and stopping place for many agencies such as: District team, logistics, civil medicine, district construction site, Commune Party Committee, District Party Committee, Provincial Party Committee... Also at the pagoda, on December 5, 1974, comrade Nguyen Truong Tho, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Provincial Political Commissar held a meeting with the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee, and the command committee of Battalions 501, 512, 509 deployed. rural liberation plan, liberating Cau Ngang. Because it was located in the base area and where our troops were stationed, during the resistance war, the pagoda was also the target of enemy raids and bombardments. Many times the pagoda was damaged by bombs and bullets, and there was a period when the enemy took over the pagoda as its headquarters. However, monks and Buddhists still believe in the Party, despite sacrificing their support and protection to protect the revolutionary base. It was here that many political struggle movements were initiated, the movement to besiege and evacuate garrisons, and the movement to destroy strategic hamlets. In addition, temples and Buddhists also contributed a lot of wealth to the revolution. With those achievements, on December 10, 2004, the People's Committee of Tra Vinh province recognized Phuoc My Pagoda (Ba So Pagoda) as a provincial historical relic.

Giac Linh Pagoda (Bat Pagoda)
Giac Linh Pagoda is located on a high sand cave in Nhut A hamlet, My Long Bac commune, Cau Ngang district, Tra Vinh province. Giac Linh Pagoda is also called Bat Pagoda because in the past there were many birds living on ancient trees in the temple grounds, including crows and bats, so people took this feature to name the pagoda. Entering the temple gate, on the right is a large statue of Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva, opening his heart of compassion to bring miracles to save sentient beings. Going a few dozen meters further, we will see the temple. The pagoda is built on a high plot of land, surrounded by many types of trees: horsetail, tamanu, bamboo, creating a quiet and sacred look. Entering the temple, we will notice the difference between Giac Linh Pagoda and other Buddhist temples. The Buddha altar does not arrange worship statues in the order: Three Buddhas, Amitabha, and Three Tons as in Mahayana Buddhist temples. The pagoda not only worships Buddha and those related to Buddhism: Bodhisattva, Arhat, but also Confucius, Lao Tzu, and integrates folk beliefs: Ba Chua Xu, Tao Quan, Uncle Tai, Uncle Precious. It is from the way of thinking of monks that Buddhists not only focus on religious matters but also on worldly matters. Compared to other pagodas in terms of construction scale, architectural value, and sculpture, Giac Linh Pagoda is modest. The only thing worth mentioning about the pagoda is the set of wooden panels painted in vermilion and gilded with the theme of the four sacred animals. However, the temple is rich in revolutionary achievements. Since the early years of the 20th century, Linh Son Dien has been a meeting and activity center for patriots fighting against the French in the Thien Dia Hoi organization. In 1922, the province's Red Youth organization was established here, including comrade Duong Quang Dong. Then one of the first three Communist Party Cells of Tra Vinh - My Long Party Cell also chose this location to meet regularly in the early years of its establishment. And in the protest of 300 farmers in 1931 demanding people's livelihood and democracy, banners and hammer and sickle flags flew on the temple fence. In 1934 - 1935, the pagoda was again chosen as the headquarters of the Vinh - Tra - Ben Joint Provincial Party Committee. In the period approaching the August 1945 Revolution, in order to seize the opportunity for the uprising to win, the pagoda witnessed a preparatory meeting to consolidate the Party Committee, convened by comrade Duong Quang Dong. During the resistance war against the French, nun Phung - a monk of the pagoda used the sound of gongs as a signal to summon or disperse revolutionary cadres when meeting or to hide during riots. During the period of resistance against the Americans to save the country, nun Phung became the abbot of the pagoda. Under her monk's robe, she blinded the enemies with pilgrimages to transport weapons to the revolutionary organization. In the years 1966 - 1967, the war was fierce, the southwest side of the temple grounds had a system of trenches over 300 meters long dug to resist enemy operations and raids. Also during this period, based on the quietness of the place of worship and the luxuriance of trees, dozens of secret tunnels were dug in the temple grounds for officials to hide. In particular, the temple also donated the large red bell to the construction site of making weapons to fight the enemy. In 1970, the enemy came and stationed a station next to the pagoda's fence, aiming to control the revolution in the My Long area and also to monitor the monks. Even so, nun Phung still single-mindedly stuck to the pagoda, so that a year later, when we attacked them, they had to abandon the post and flee. Giac Linh Pagoda was recognized by the Ministry of Culture and Information as a national historical and cultural relic on January 24, 1998. This place of Zen where no visitors are allowed is now always open to welcome us to reflect on religion and life. Source: Tra Vinh Tourism Promotion Center

Relics of Teakhinasakor Ta Lon Pagoda
Teakhinasakor Ta Lon Pagoda (Cai Coi) is located in Cai Coi hamlet, Long Vinh commune, Duyen Hai district, Tra Vinh province. During the years of resistance, the pagoda was not only a secret base, a place to harbor and protect revolutionary cadres, but also a place where many political movements originated. Right from the time Long Vinh Commune Party Cell was established (September 4, 1933), the Party Cell discussed with senior monk Trieu Minh Ten to choose the pagoda as a legal base for the revolution, to organize shelter and protect cadres. and open classes for monks and children in the area. Through these classes, in addition to learning literacy and teachings, teachers also propagate the Party's policies and the enemy's sinister plots. Suspecting that Ta Lon Pagoda was a revolutionary base, in 1943, they searched the pagoda but found nothing. They were angry and burned down the main hall and a monk's monastery. The enemy's actions further increased the hatred among monks, Buddhists and the masses here. In 1948, the temple was once again ransacked by the enemy. Just like last time, no evidence was found that the leader of the temple, Prum Yen, ordered soldiers to burn down the main palace. During the anti-American period, under the leadership of Long Vinh Commune Cell, the revolutionary base of Ta Lon Pagoda continuously promoted the tradition of indomitable struggle. In early 1955, the enemy actively terrorized the masses and took revenge on the resistance fighters who caused us some damage. To cope with the situation, the monks of Ta Lon pagoda, despite difficulties, dangers and even their own lives, organized to house cadres right in their own rooms. In 1959, the enemy launched a terrorist operation, brutally bombarding, killing, looting and arresting people they suspected of being "undercover communists". During this campaign, they arrested the monk Son Hien and 4 monks and 3 Buddhists of Ta Lon pagoda. At the end of 1960, at the yard of Ta Lon pagoda, the National Liberation Front of Long Vinh commune was established and introduced before more than 500 public delegates. During the ceremony, there were more than 20 monks led by the second eldest monk Son Thuong. When they returned from secular life, they volunteered to participate in the resistance war for national liberation. In February 1962, unable to carry out their plan to gather people into a strategic hamlet, the enemy put poison into the fresh water source, killing 2 children and a monk at Ta Lon Pagoda. In May 1964, the enemy sent bombers and marines to park at Dinh An estuary and fired artillery shells at Ta Lon pagoda, killing dozens of houses. The pagoda owner, Mr. Son Ruong, died and eight Buddhists were injured. The temple burned down and the main hall partially collapsed. In the years 1965-1968, the enemy launched many sweeping operations and used planes to spray land clearing chemicals and spray Agent Orange. On February 22, 1966, 18 monks and more than 100 Buddhists of the pagoda went to Cai Doi densely packed area to fight with the enemy. The struggle of monks and Khmer compatriots in Long Vinh was supported by monks and Khmer compatriots throughout the province, so they won. With their achievements contributing to the cause of national liberation, the monks and Buddhists of Ta Lon Pagoda were awarded many certificates of merit, orders, and medals by the State. On April 18, 2013, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism recognized Ta Lon Pagoda as a national historical site. Source: Tra Vinh Province Electronic Information Portal
