Revolutionary relic house number 5D Ham Long
Revolutionary relic house No. 5D Ham Long is located in Phan Chu Trinh ward, Hoan Kiem district, Hanoi city. This is the location marking the establishment of the first Communist Party cell in Vietnam at the end of March 1929, an important milestone in our country's revolutionary history, paving the way for the birth of the Communist Party of Vietnam. According to the National Museum of History, since the end of 1928, the struggle movement of the working class and communist trends in Vietnam have developed strongly. Faced with the demands of revolutionary reality, advanced members of the Vietnam Revolutionary Youth Comrades Association secretly met at house No. 5D Ham Long to establish the first Communist Party cell. The meeting took place on a night in late March 1929 with the participation of comrades Ngo Gia Tu, Nguyen Duc Canh, Tran Van Cung, Trinh Dinh Cuu, Do Ngoc Du, Duong Hac Dinh and Nguyen Tuan. Comrade Nguyen Phong Sac was absent due to unexpected work, but sent his comments in favor of the resolution and was recognized as an official member of the cell. Comrade Tran Van Cung (alias Quoc Anh) was elected Party Cell Secretary. At the meeting, the Party Cell identified key tasks such as promoting the establishment of the Communist Party, developing trade unions and agricultural associations, and promoting the spread of Marxism-Leninism. The birth of the first Communist Party cell at 5D Ham Long created a direct premise for the establishment of the Indochina Communist Party on June 17, 1929 and moved towards the establishment of the Communist Party of Vietnam in early 1930. House number 5D Ham Long was originally a one-story house in the blocks 5A, 5B, 5C, 5D of a bourgeois family for rent. The house has an area of about 24m², in the back there is a small yard, kitchen and toilet area. In particular, the house is located close to a small alley leading to Le Van Huu street, creating favorable conditions for revolutionary cadres to secretly withdraw when necessary. At the end of 1928, the Northern Committee of the Vietnam Revolutionary Youth Association rented this house as a base for secret operations and assigned it to comrade Tran Van Cung and his wife, Nguyen Thi Lien, to directly manage. In the simple house, the sofa set, the double-bottomed chest used to hide documents, the oil lamp and many simple household items have become historical evidence associated with the process of preparing to establish the Party. On November 25, 1959, the house was restored into a memorial house, displaying many documents and artifacts associated with the birth of the first Communist Party cell. In 1964, the relic was recognized as a Hanoi Revolutionary Monument. In 2000, the building continued to be renovated to restore the appearance as it was at the time of the historic meeting in March 1929. Today, the 5D Ham Long relic, managed by the Hanoi Museum, is a red address with special significance in educating revolutionary traditions, contributing to helping today's generations better understand the process of forming the first communist organization and the birth of the Communist Party of Vietnam.

Chu Van An Temple
Chu Van An Temple is located on the To Lich river, in Thanh Liet commune, Thanh Tri district, Hanoi city. This is the place to worship Chu Van An (1292–1370) - a famous teacher and Confucianist of the Tran Dynasty, who was revered by generations as "Van The Su Bieu" (teacher of all generations). According to historical documents, after Chu Van An passed away, the people of Thanh Liet's hometown built a temple and honored him as the village's Tutelary God. During the reign of Le Trung Hung (1533–1789), the temple was added to worship local university graduates, so it also had the meaning of Literature - a place to honor those with education and contributions to the homeland. The temple was built according to the traditional "Cong" style architecture, including three main items: the altar house, the communal house and the harem. The harem is the most sacred space of the relic, where the gilded altar and the altar tablet of Chu Van An are placed. Having undergone many restorations, especially on the occasion of the 1000th anniversary of Thang Long - Hanoi, the temple was renovated spaciously but still retains its ancient architecture and solemn space. The temple still preserves many artifacts of historical and cultural value such as two robes, hammock doors, horizontal panels, parallel sentences, altars, copper tops, single vases, six stone steles, genealogies and five ordinations of the Le and Nguyen dynasties, reflecting the Vietnamese people's tradition of respecting teachers. Not only is it a place to commemorate teacher Chu Van An, the temple is also a place for religious activities of local people and a destination for many students, teachers and tourists from all over to offer incense and express gratitude to the exemplary teacher of Vietnamese education. With outstanding historical, cultural and educational values, in 1989, Chu Van An Temple was ranked as a national historical-cultural relic. Today, the monument not only contributes to preserving the heritage of Thang Long - Hanoi but is also a symbol of the nation's tradition of studiousness and respect for teachers.

HISTORICAL RELIC OF TRUNG LIET TEMPLE
HISTORICAL RELIC OF TRUNG LIET TEMPLE Trung Liet Temple, solemnly located on top of Dong Da Mound, is an ancient structure built to commemorate the loyal mandarins and martyrs who had heroic deeds and sacrificed their lives to protect the capital. Through the Nghi Mon gate made of moss-covered bricks and a small brick yard, you will reach the sturdy Dai Pagoda, prominent with the three words "Central Liet Mieu" along with a system of horizontal lacquered and gilded couplets. The temple was built in the Dinh (\text{丁}) architectural style, with a closed gable, and an ancient tiled roof with bold architectural art of the Nguyen Dynasty from the 19th century (1856). Although located on the same campus, Trung Liet Temple has a completely independent worship function from Dong Da Mound. If Dong Da Mound is a testament to the 1789 battlefield associated with honoring Emperor Quang Trung and his victory over the Qing army, then Trung Liet Temple is a special place established to worship patriotic mandarins of the Nguyen Dynasty who heroically sacrificed their lives when the French colonialists attacked Hanoi citadel. Therefore, the worship center at the temple's harem contains tablets and statues of Governor Nguyen Tri Phuong, who went on hunger strike to death after the citadel fell for the first time in 1873, and Governor Hoang Dieu, who committed suicide under an ancient banyan tree when the citadel fell for the second time in 1882. In addition, the temple also worships King Nguyen Lam's Imperial Ambassador Nguyen Lam and the tablet of King Quang Trung to gather the sacred souls of the mountains and rivers. The project has been ranked as a national historical relic, and funding has been invested in restoration to preserve the integrity of the architectural values and steadfast atmosphere of its predecessors.

Moc Chau Bat Cave historical site
Moc Chau Bat Cave historical site Bat Cave, also known as Son Moc Huong Cave, is located near the center of Moc Chau town, Son La province. Not only famous for its magnificent natural beauty, Bat Cave is also a valuable historical and archaeological site, reflecting the residence of ancient residents in the Northwest region thousands of years ago. The cave is a natural limestone cave with an area of about 6,915 m², including three large chambers with a rich system of stalactites and stalagmites. Over millions of years of geological tectonics, nature has created stalactites with many unique shapes such as fairies, spinning girls, mothers holding babies, elephants, lions and many other images. Along with the magical beauty of natural light, Bat Cave is known as "Tay Thien's first cave", one of the most beautiful caves in the Northwest. The special value of Bat Cave lies not only in its landscape but also in its history and archeology. In 1952, researchers discovered many vestiges of ancient Vietnamese people in the area in front of the cave entrance. By 1992, Son La Museum coordinated with the Vietnam Institute of Archeology to conduct surveys and excavations, discovering a cultural layer about 0.5 m thick and many artifacts such as sharpened stone axes, scraping pieces, marbles, ceramic pieces and stone working tools. These findings show that Bat Cave was once the residence of people in the late Neolithic period, about 3,000–3,500 years ago, belonging to the Hoa Binh culture - a typical archaeological culture in Vietnamese history. Besides its archaeological value, Bat Cave also preserves many unique folk legends of local people. Typical is the legend of the Heavenly Palace and the love story between Prince Thuy Te and the earthly princess. These stories contribute to enriching cultural values, reflecting the spiritual life and rich imagination of highland residents. With outstanding geological, archaeological, historical and cultural values, in 1998 Moc Chau Bat Cave was ranked as a National Monument by the Ministry of Culture and Information (now the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism). This is not only a recognition of natural beauty but also affirms the significance of Bat Cave in researching the history of residence of ancient Vietnamese people in the Northwest region. Today, Bat Cave is an attractive destination for tourists when coming to Moc Chau. Preserving and promoting the value of monuments not only contributes to preserving natural heritage and national history but also helps educate traditions and raise awareness of protecting cultural heritage for future generations.

Am My Chau
Am My Chau is also known as Ba Chua am or My Chau temple, located west of Ngu Trieu Di Quy communal house. In front of the altar there is a banyan tree that is said to have been planted by Ngo Quyen. This banyan tree is so large that it is often called a thousand-year-old banyan tree. Now it is no longer there, only a brick arch is left, which is the vestige of the banyan roots from afar. The worship area is an architecture consisting of 2 main parts. The altar is a house built of wood with 3 rooms, gabled walls, and tiled roof. The turrets are made in the style of "high gong, low gong, and seven". All components do not have any engraved patterns, but are only planed. This architecture is of late date (late 19th and early 20th century). On the upper shelf, there is a line of Chinese characters clearly stating the date of renovation: Democratic Republic of Vietnam, year of Quy Suu (1973). The harem is a vertically rotating building, the main load-bearing structure is walls built on 3 sides, leaving only 2 side doors to connect with the altar. At the front of the altar, on both sides of the house's gable pillars, there are two parallel sentences: Faithful and single-minded to conquer the sun and moon; The spirit is as bright as the moon and stars; the spirit is as bright as heaven and earth forever. In the middle space there is an altar called "incense altar", above there is a letter with 4 Chinese characters: Ton Cung Dien Tuyen (the palace worshiping the girl) and there are 4 pairs of parallel sentences in this area talking about the loyalty of Princess My Chau. Pair of parallel sentences on the pillar next to the incense burner: faithfulness vows to fossilize body and mind; rise and fall, the hope of agarwood (the loyalty sworn in the heart turns the body into stone; tears crying about prosperity and decline turn into pearls in a deep well). In addition, there are a couple of other parallel sentences: The sect plays thousands of emperors, solemn and high, mysterious and ancient; Ba Truong Ngoc Tinh shines with pure light and pure heart (her descendants are Lac's children and Hong's grandchildren, her pure heart has been an example from far away; the jade well radiates sacred light, clearly showing her sincere heart). Continuing inside, in front of the harem there is an altar for the "twelve ladies" - the princess's servants. There are a pair of parallel sentences on the pillars on both sides of the altar: Thien Duc Thuong Thi Gia Phi Loi Nhang Biet Chi Quy Chao Co Co transmitting foreign history; Ngu Luan Chung's father kept the wife's husband and his wife's husband and wife together to open up the province with a deep love (thousands of years have passed, no one can justify what is right or wrong, the tortoise's claw used to make the magic crossbow bolt is just a legend; in the five roms, only the pearls and the water of the jade well can prove who is the father and the husband more closely). The harem is where the altar to worship Princess My Chau is located. Above is an altar throne. The innermost space is where stone statues are placed. This is the "My Chau stone statue" told in the legend. It can be added that: the place where My Chau was beheaded by her father was Mo Da pass in present-day Nghe An province, but according to the legend, the petrified statue drifted to the foot of Ngoai citadel. In Nghe An today there is also a temple worshiping An Duong Vuong, next to it is a temple worshiping My Chau. That place was called Cuong Mountain, now the temple is at the top of the mountain, also known as Cuong Temple. According to Co Loa Citadel Relics Management Board

Temple of King An Duong Vuong
King An Duong Vuong Temple, also known as Thuong Temple, was built on a hill that legend says once had the king's palace. Thuong Temple relics have an area of about 19,138.6 m2, built in the south direction, the main architectural works of the temple are located on the Dung Dao (Shinto) axis. The lake in front of the temple area is quite large, circular in shape with a naturally curved bank embanked with stone, with paths and trees planted around the middle of the lake with a Ngoc well. Previously, the lake was connected to the moat of the two outer citadels and to the river wharf in the East - South of the Ngoai citadel. According to legend, this is the lake where My Chau - Trong Thuy often sailed from here before the war of invasion by Trieu Da. After the war, Trong Thuy jumped down here to commit suicide because he regretted causing the death of his beloved wife. In folklore, there is also the story of My Chau's bloodline, when her father's head was beheaded by her father, and she fell into the sea. The mussels that ate them turned into pearls. If they were washed in this well, the pearls would become even brighter and therefore the well in the middle of the lake in front of Thuong Temple is also called Ngoc Well. Thuong Temple has two ritual gates: the outer ritual gate and the inner ritual gate. The outer ritual gate is built of unplastered bricks, shaped like a city gate with two floors, the lower floor has 3 doors, built in a dome style, the upper floor is compact in the form of a 2-storey 8-roof gazebo. The entrance to the middle door has a pair of large stone dragons on both sides of the door steps, created in 1732. Past the outer Nghi gate is the lower dragon yard paved with Bat Trang tiles. In the middle of the yard there is a paved path running straight to the main door of the inner Nghi gate. Because there is a belief that the temple is built on the "dragon's head", people have created on both sides of the Dragon Yard 2 small wells called "dragon eyes" that match each other, next to them there are 2 high mounds of land called "dragon jaws". The inner gate is located higher than the yard, the entrance has 7 blue stone steps. On both sides of the steps are a pair of dragons made of compound mortar. Passing Nghi Mon inside is the dragon terrace paved with Bat Trang tiles. In the middle of the yard is a paved path leading to the Tien Bai house, also known as Dai Bai or Tien Bai. The front altar is a majestic structure, the roof is covered with funny-nosed tiles, has curved corners and is covered with Nghe statues. Two long corridors on both sides connect Tien Te and Middle Hall, between the two corridors is a Phuong communal house. The harem is a "mulpit" style building, roofed directly adjacent to the Central Hall. In the Harem there is a statue of King An Duong Vuong cast in bronze, weighing 200kg, dated 1897. The stele house is located in the overall architecture of the temple, built on a high area of land to the west of the terrace, facing the temple. This is a small architectural work in the form of Phuong Dinh, two floors and eight roofs - a quite harmonious and beautiful wooden architecture with a tiled roof. Based on the existing architectural pieces and artifacts, it is said that Thuong Temple was probably built around the 17th-18th centuries. According to the Loa Co Citadel Relics Management Board

This is also the place where the first victory of the Vietnam People's Army Artillery was achieved, becoming a "red address" of special significance in the history of the struggle to protect the nation's independence. The fortress was built by the French colonialists in 1941 on the fields of Lang Trung village for the purpose of defending Hanoi. Initially, the project was equipped with four 75 mm anti-aircraft guns and a solid command post system.

On the evening of December 19, 1946, after the signal to start the National Resistance War was broadcast, from Lang Fort, the first artillery rounds simultaneously fired at French army positions in Hanoi citadel. The sound of artillery not only opened the long resistance war against the French colonialists but also marked the birth and growth of the Vietnam Artillery. During the 60 days and nights of fighting to protect Hanoi, the soldiers at Lang Fortress fought resiliently with the capital's army and people, contributing to holding back the enemy, creating conditions for the Party Central Committee, Government and headquarters to withdraw to a safe base, preparing for a long-term resistance war. After the war, traces of the fortress were no longer intact due to urbanization. However, the 75 mm cannon and part of the battlefield have been preserved and restored within the relic grounds. This place also has a gallery introducing images, documents and artifacts about the history of the formation of Lang Fortress, the early days of the National Resistance and the traditions of the Vietnam People's Army Artillery. In 1986, Lang Fortress was classified as a historical relic by Hanoi city, and in 1992 it was recognized by the State as a National Historical Monument. The building continued to be restored and renovated in 1994–1995 and 2006, contributing to preserving precious historical values for future generations. Today, Lang Fort Historical Relic is a meaningful destination for history lovers, especially the younger generation. Not only does it preserve memories of the early days of the National Resistance War, this place is also a symbol of the resilient will, determined fighting spirit and heroic tradition of the Vietnam People's Army Artillery.

On the evening of December 19, 1946, the National Call for Resistance was broadcast on the Voice of Vietnam, starting a long-term nine-year resistance war and leading to victory with the Dien Bien Phu Victory in 1954. This event marked an important turning point in the nation's history, demonstrating the resilient will and desire for independence and freedom of the Vietnamese people. Mr. Nguyen Van Duong's family kept it absolutely secret, creating all conditions for President Ho Chi Minh to work safely during his stay. Before leaving Van Phuc, he thanked his family and encouraged the people to actively support the resistance war, expressing his strong belief in the nation's victory. Today, the Memorial House of President Ho Chi Minh in Van Phuc is still preserved almost intact.

Two insurgents named Nghe and Kinh volunteered to enter the front gate and sacrificed their lives. Insurgents from all directions rushed into the Fort like water bursting its banks. Faced with the power of the insurgents and the masses, the soldiers in the Station no longer had the spirit to resist and fled in disarray. The insurgents completely occupied the inside of the station, but upstairs, the enemy still stubbornly used guns to shoot sporadically, at the same time calling Saigon and Thu Dau Mot for emergency help.

Halfway up, he was hit by bullets, the comrade fell and died later. The battle was at a standstill when enemy reinforcements arrived. Unable to hold out, the insurgents withdrew from the town, dispersed to the villages, the armed forces withdrew to Ben Do hamlet (Tan Phu Trung) and then moved to My Hanh hamlet (Duc Hoa).

Another equally humiliating event for the US Embassy was the chaotic escape that occurred on April 29 and 30, 1975 by the US and its accomplices. Faced with the rapid attack of the Vietnamese army and people in the historic Ho Chi Minh campaign, over 1,000 Americans and more than 5,000 pro-American Vietnamese jostled, pushed, and kicked each other to compete for a place on the terrace of the building. building to be rescued by helicopter.
