"Jackfruit Garden, Co Hau Field" belongs to the Tay Son Thuong Dao complex, the early base of the Tay Son movement, now in Nghia An commune, Kbang district, Gia Lai province. "Jackfruit Garden, Co Hau Field" is where Ya Do, also known as Co Hau - daughter of a Bahnar chief, wife of Nguyen Nhac, who had the merit of building the logistics force for the Tay Son army in the years beginning of the uprising. She and her compatriots in the area and the insurgents explored a 20-hectare area of ​​land at the foot of Ca Nong mountain (now in Nghia An commune) to grow rice and food crops. In addition, she also planted a jackfruit garden to create more food sources for the insurgents.

Today, households still receive land to grow rice here, keeping the original appearance of the fields. The ancient jackfruit trees are dozens of meters tall, with lush foliage shading the entire forest. Their trunks are as big as a person's arm and have knobby knobs. These jackfruit trees are labeled with names to help people be aware of protecting the monument. The jackfruits are only as big as a kettle and have a crooked waist. Jackfruit is ripening on a tree trunk that has turned brown. In the past, these jackfruit trees were a source of food to provide additional nutrition for the Tay Son insurgents. When Ya Do passed away, her remains were buried at Dat Mountain (Cuu An, An Khe), now in An Dien Bac village right next to her house. After that, An Dien people built a palace to worship her made of wood and thatched. In the 19th century, people rebuilt the palace with bricks, lime, and mortar to worship her.
