Tuc Dup historical relic site
Tuc Dup historical relic site in Tri Ton district, An Giang province, is an important base of An Giang's army and people during the resistance war against the US. Tuc Dup in Khmer means "night water", located at an altitude of about 300m, with a system of caves and rocky crevices like a giant "honeycomb". Since the 1940s, Tuc Dup has been a shelter for revolutionary soldiers. By 1960, this place became the base of the Tri Ton District Party Committee and An Giang Provincial Party Committee. Relying on the rugged terrain and the continuous cave system, our army and people stubbornly held on, fought and resisted many fierce raids and bombs by the enemy. Therefore, Tuc Dup is also known as "steel hill". Today, the caves that used to be the working places of the Military Command, Propaganda Department, Women's Union, Civil Medicine and hall C6 are still preserved. Visitors can explore the unique cave system, learn stories about the lives and battles of our people and soldiers during the war, and admire the wild beauty of That Son mountains and forests. Tuc Dup today is not only an attractive tourist destination but also a traditional "red address" for education, reminding of a period of resilient fighting and the great sacrifices of An Giang's army and people.

O Ta Soc base, Luong Phi commune, Tri Ton district, An Giang province, is a national revolutionary historical relic. O Ta Soc, in Khmer language means "Ong Soc Stream", located on Dai Mountain, outstanding with rugged rocky terrain, many caves, rock formations and year-round flowing streams. Since the end of 1962, O Ta Soc became an important base of the An Giang Provincial Party Committee and revolutionary agencies. Based on the rugged mountainous terrain, our army and people built defense systems, arranged anti-mines, shelters and organized many battles, resiliently resisting enemy raids. From here, the An Giang Provincial Party Committee directed the revolutionary movement, fought to destroy strategic hamlets, protected the people and organized fighting forces throughout the province. During the years 1965–1967, the enemy repeatedly launched large-scale operations to attack the base, but they all encountered fierce resistance from revolutionary forces. The soldiers took advantage of every rock hole, slope and dangerous terrain to fight the enemy and protect the safety of the Provincial Party Committee. By the end of 1967, the Provincial Party Committee moved its base to To - Tuc Dup mountain, but O Ta Soc continued to be the place of operation and combat coordination of revolutionary forces. Today, O Ta Soc base not only has the wild beauty of the mountains and forests but is also a red address for educating revolutionary traditions, helping today's generation better understand the resilient spirit, cunning and sacrifice of An Giang's soldiers and people in the resistance war against the US.

Thien An Mountain
Thien An Mountain, also known as Ho Mountain, is a historical-cultural relic and the leading sacred symbol of Quang Ngai province. Located on the left bank of the Tra Khuc River, this unique isosceles trapezoid-shaped mountain is like a precious seal of heaven stamped on the riverbed, creating the famous "Nien An Thien Ha" mountain position in poetry. Over the centuries, Thien An Mountain has been a silent witness to the opening of the Southern realm of our ancestors. This place once retained architectural traces of ancient towers and deep laterite wells of the Cham people. The takeover and construction of works by the Vietnamese people on the old ruins is a clear historical proof of the cultural fusion between the two peoples. The stature of the scenic spot was further affirmed in 1717, when Lord Nguyen Phuc Chu personally conferred a golden plaque, honoring the mountain as the "first scenic spot". Not only does it have ancient feudal values, Thien An is also a revolutionary red address. On the windy mountain top, this is the resting place of Mr. Huynh Thuc Khang - a great patriot and former Acting President of the country. The presence of Mr. Huynh's grave has blended the soul of the mountains and rivers with the steadfast spirit of a great man. Today, Thien An Mountain still stands there, as an eternal symbol of the history, culture and national pride of the people of Quang. According to: Thanh Nien Newspaper

Phoenix Trung Do
Phuong Hoang Trung Do is the capital chosen by King Quang Trung to build on Dung Quyet mountain, Vinh city, Nghe An province after the victory against the Qing army in 1789. The king wanted to move the capital from Phu Xuan to Nghe An because this was a land with a central location, convenient to manage both North and South, and at the same time a large land rich in military and economic potential. Quang Trung repeatedly assigned La Son Phu Nguyen Thiep to survey, select land and go directly to Nghe An to urge construction. However, while the project was still unfinished, King Quang Trung suddenly died in 1792. After that, the Tay Son dynasty weakened, so the plan to build a new capital was abandoned. Today, the Phuong Hoang Trung Do area and King Quang Trung Temple on Dung Quyet Mountain are typical historical and cultural destinations, associated with the national hero's desire to build a new capital and the strategic vision.

The west side of the citadel leans on the Chay River like a deep natural moat to prevent the enemy; The east is protected by rolling limestone mountains forming an impregnable wall. After more than 400 years of collapse, although the ancient wall of earth and pebbles has now merged with the corn fields and tea hills of the Tay people, archaeological traces such as large bricks and funny-nosed tiles still prove a solid and bustling "resistance capital" of the past. Trung Do Ancient Citadel today is not only a National Historical Site, but also a living lesson about the military strategy of our ancestors. Standing here, listening to the sound of the waves of the Chay River, we can still hear the thousand-year-old spirit of a time when we protected the land.

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.

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".

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. .
