Cha citadel relics
In its golden age, the city was called Buddha Tathagata, the capital city of the capital Vijaya. This is one of the four ancient Champa citadels in Binh Dinh, once the economic and political center of this area from the 8th to the 15th century. Cha Citadel is located south of the Vijaya citadel, now in the territory of An Thanh village, Nhon Loc commune, An Nhon district - Binh Dinh. Located on a high strip of land on the south bank of the Kon River, Cha Citadel consists of two large and small citadels built close to each other (also known as the inner citadel and outer citadel), both with a rectangular plan. In the large citadel area, pairs of citadel walls face each other with negligible length differences. When building, the ancients relied on the direction of the Kon River, so the length of the northern wall was about 100m longer than the southern one. The east and west pair of walls are nearly 350m long, while the north and south pair of walls are nearly 950m long. Except for the north side of the citadel, which was mostly eroded due to its proximity to the Kon River, the remaining sides are relatively intact. In the northwest corner of the citadel area, there are also traces of a rectangular campus, surrounded by a brick mound in which a very large number of remaining bricks and tiles with thresholds and door pillars of different sizes are found. large, especially with many yin-yang bricks and roof tiles - decorative architectural materials only found in the old capital of Champa like Tra Kieu. In this area, people discovered a beautiful bust of the goddess Kabera Yakshini along with elaborate reliefs made of terracotta, proving the real existence of an architecture. urban. The small citadel is located back-to-back with the large citadel in the northwest direction, with a width of 134m and a length of 240m. An interesting thing here is that the creator of this ancient Buddhist citadel deliberately arranged two large and small citadels in a continuous pattern, shown in the fact that the eastern wall of the small citadel is also a part of the wall. To the west of the big citadel, another section is added. In this small citadel, no trace of the wall was found on the north side and it used the Kon River as a moat to create a shield to protect the citadel. This shows that the small citadel was arranged by ancient people as an outpost of the large citadel, a very important waterway transportation route. Citadel Cha is a citadel that also has many other names in folk culture such as Citadel Hoi, Citadel Ho Xu, Citadel Bac, Citadel Cu... but the most common name is Citadel Cha. The large citadel is located to the east. The north side of the wall runs west-east, 947m long, 3 to 5m wide, and currently about 1m high. In the middle of the citadel wall, there is an 8m high mound, gradually sloping towards the two sides of the citadel, called the Flag Pillar Mound. The southern wall has a similar length, but has been eroded, remaining only slightly above ground level. The most visible relics are the two eastern and western walls. The eastern wall runs north-south, is 345m long with an average height of 4m, and the wall is over 30m wide. The western wall has the same length and height, but the surface is narrower, about 7 to 10 meters. The northwest corner of the large citadel is surrounded by two sections of the citadel wall, one running from the Flagpole mound to the south with a length of 240m and a section perpendicular to it running to the west, connecting with the western wall of the large citadel to form a rectangular campus. In the middle of this campus there is a large mound of bricks, the remains of a collapsed structure. The smaller rectangular citadel is located adjacent to the northwest of the large citadel with a length of 440m and a width of 134m. Thanh Cha Relics was ranked a national historical and cultural relic by the Ministry of Culture, Information and Sports on November 27, 2003. Source: National Museum of History

One day here, they threw about 69 tons of bombs to plow and destroy, but under the rain of enemy bombs, the armed forces and Youth Volunteers throughout the country bravely held on, day and night still ensuring communication. Traffic arteries still flow evenly on the fire line. During the Dien Bien Phu campaign at Co Noi Junction, 100 soldiers and Youth Volunteers sacrificed their lives.

Bloodied monks from Doc Lap fled to Muong Thanh, and now they had to consider a way out, they saw the strength of the Viet Minh. The Viet Minh had big artillery and a mighty army. The Viet Minh had artillery trucks. Just appearing on the field was a strange event never seen before in the war at Dien Bien Phu. The 36th Regiment of the 308th Infantry was assigned to destroy Keo village. The 36th Regiment realized that it had the ability to solve this stronghold without a battle, so it used a single-army order to call on the Thai soldiers to surrender. On March 16, 1954, at the foot of Ban Keo hill, a large picture-like scene appeared of a group of Thai soldiers leaving their positions with the words: "Return to the Fatherland, with your compatriots, you will received a kind welcome." Although the French commander tried to control him, the Thai soldiers took advantage of the time the French commander went underground to hide, brought out their weapons, and pulled out the line. The French sent tanks to chase the Thai Wei army and artillery. of the Viet Minh fired to cover the above-mentioned soldiers running to safe shelter positions in the forest. Without firing a shot, the 36th Regiment captured Keo village, ending the first attack, opening the northern door to the center of the Dien Bien Phu stronghold.

Complete liberation of the People of 18 Betel Garden Villages. After defeating Chi Hoa Fort, the French colonialists built a 3-storey wooden house here to use as a military post. When Tran Tu Ca took office as Governor of the Palace, he used the Station as the Palace of Binh Long district. Originally a cunning drunkard of the French colonialists, Tran Tu Ca was led by a group led by Mr. Phan Van Hon (Quan Hon) and Nguyen Van Qua (Chanh Lanh Binh) of nearly 1,000 insurgents who came to burn the District Palace, captured and head cut off in the middle of the market. That was February 8, 1885, At Dau Tet. Afterwards, Hoc Mon District Palace was rebuilt with a blue stone foundation, brick walls, and a defense system from the upper floors to the fence. The architecture is similar to the Military Fort, so the locals call it Hoc Mon Fort. Tran took over from Tran Tu Ca as Governor of Ngon district, moving to Tra District and then Tho District. This was a long period of time when the people of the Hoc Mon region suffered from many cruel and despicable scenes from the French colonialists and their oligarchic henchmen mentioned above. With the indomitable tradition of Hoc Mon people. On June 4, 1930, around 6 a.m. in front of the District Palace, hundreds of Hoc Mon people protested demanding "abolition of poll tax, reduction of license and market taxes, and granting land to poor farmers." Tra District invited the leaders into the Palace to negotiate, but they cunningly arrested them, including Mr. Le Van Uoi (Secretary of Tan Thoi Nhi Commune), who was the leader of the protest. People were undaunted and fiercely demanded that Tea District release those detained. The protest group became more and more crowded, the fighting spirit spread somewhat, causing Tra District to give in. On the one hand, they released the detained people, on the other hand, they called the officials in Saigon for help. 2 hours later, the struggle was led by two men, Blachole and Nobbot, who opened fire on the protest group, causing many casualties. But the most impressive historical event at Hoc Mon District Palace was the Southern Uprising on November 23, 1940. Hoc Mon Fort is very solid, built of green stone like a fortress, about 15 meters high, has a gun emplacement and a defense system with battlements guarded by a platoon of green soldiers. On November 22, 1940, France reinforced one more platoon to deal with the situation. On the afternoon of November 22, 1940, Mr. Do Van Coi's army broke into the town, disguised as civilians, ambushed behind the Station waiting for orders to rob the Station. Another army wing has the task of destroying bridges, cutting down trees blocking roads, and occupying offices and houses... The army wing from Phuoc Vinh An, Tan Thong, Tan An Hoi, Tan Phu Trung is led by Mr. Pham Van Sang and Dang Cong Binh commanded, started from Ben Do hamlet, attacked the house, killed 1 person, collected 4 guns, and took control of the situation here (Tan Phu Trung). Immediately this army was ordered to pull back to Hoc Mon. The Long Tuy Thuong army was commanded by Mr. Bui Van Hoat. The army of General Long Tuy Trung was commanded by Mr. Do Van Day and Le Binh Dang. At around 24:00 on the night of November 22, 1940, the sound of artillery fire had not yet been heard in Saigon. After consulting, the army commanders united to attack the enemy's post. Immediately the troops headed straight to Fort Hoc Mon, where District Chief Bui Ngoc Tho resided. 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. Because he was eager to capture the name of Tho District, comrade Do Van Day climbed up to the upper floor of the Station by clinging to the gutter. 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). Although the attack on Hoc Mon Fort (later called Hoc Mon District Palace) failed, it left a deep impression in the hearts of all civilians admiring the courage of revolutionary soldiers in the fight against colonialism. steal the country. During the historic Ho Chi Minh campaign, at 7:00 a.m. on April 30, 1975, Hoc Mon town was completely liberated, the National flag fluttered above the District Palace, where District Chief Nguyen Nhu Sang and his gang sai has been running away since last night. Today, Hoc Mon District Palace is chosen as the District Museum, where many documents are displayed, illustrating the ups and downs of historical periods as well as the revolutionary fighting spirit of the army and people in Hoc Mon district over the past two years. resistance war against French colonialism and American imperialism.

US Embassy building
The US Embassy relics, also known as the "White House of the East", are the origin of sinister military and political plots aimed at long-term annexation of Vietnam. The relic site is a 5-storey building built Built in modern architecture, located at the corner of Mac Dinh Chi - Le Duan Street, Ben Nghe Ward, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, on a plot of land nearly 5,000 square meters. Previously, the US embassy was located at 39 Ham Nghi Street. At around 10:00 a.m. on March 30, 1963, the US embassy on Ham Nghi Street was hit with explosives by the F21 Commando team, collapsing three floors: 1, 2, 3, so the US decided to rebuild it. Construction began on the building in 1965, most of the materials and construction machinery were transported from the US, under the control of American engineers. According to the design, the building is surrounded by 7,800 Taredo stones that can withstand mines and artillery shells. The main door is equipped with thick steel, the other doors are blocked by a special thick bulletproof layer. All doors use automatic systems, including iron doors blocking the way to the upper floors. Inside the building there are 140 rooms with 200 staff serving day and night. In addition, next to the building is also built an additional row of houses called the "Norodom" area exclusively for C.I.A. employees. When inaugurated, the building had only 3 floors.

Surrounding the building is a 3m high wall, at both ends of the wall close to Le Duan Street, 2 high blockhouses are built, guarded day and night. The Embassy was completed in September 1967 with a defense system such as a fortress with 60 guards, a bomb shelter, and a radar screen system to control the facade. Immediately after the building was completed, on September 24, 1967, thousands of students flocked to the gate of the US Embassy to fight for "America to stop bombing the North", "America to go home" and issued a notice denouncing the US for "trampling and seriously violating the right to self-determination of the Southern people". But the outstanding event that happened at the US Embassy was the battle of the City Rangers during the General Offensive and Uprising in the Spring of 1968. The target of attacking the US Embassy was added on January 24, 1968 by Ngo Thanh. Van is in charge of general affairs.

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. This relic was granted a certificate of recognition by the Ministry of Culture on June 25, 1976. Currently, the US Embassy building has been demolished and a new consulate in Ho Chi Minh City has been built, but next to it is a memorial stele forever remembering the achievements of the special forces soldiers who died in the battle. .
