At night, they dreamed that someone called Princess Tien Dung, vowing to fight the enemy. The next day, the two women led their troops to battle on the Han River and won a resounding victory. The Trung sisters let the generals and local people celebrate and then issued a decree for the villagers to build a temple to worship Tien Dung, with the beautiful title Dieu Quang Hue Tinh Y Pham Trinh Hien, wife of Thuong class god.

Legend has it that the Han River next to the pagoda often floods. One time, the water was high, the flood came from upstream, carrying a large raft of mulberry wood with golden fibers like silk. Everyone thought it was a good omen so they picked it up and used wood to carve it into a statue. From then on, the pagoda was called Dau Pagoda.

The content of the stele was composed by Venerable Hue Van, a monk here, with about 1,180 words. This is a unique work of sculpture art. The stele is about 1.5m high, placed on the back of a rather large stone turtle. The stele's roof is moderately curved, and the stele's body has a border carved with dragons and vine flowers. The stele's forehead is decorated with many vivid leaves and lotus flowers, close to nature. Prominent on the front of the stele is a large cursive engraving of Buddha. Below the word Buddha are carved two images, on one side is a crane standing with a burning candle on its head. On one side is a humanoid demon wearing an incense burner. At the foot of the stele are carved patterns of water waves and mountains. On the back of the stele are engraved three Chinese characters "Sung Thien Pagoda", below are written the full names of those who donated fields and money to repair the pagoda. Not only unique in architecture and festivals, Dau Pagoda is also one of the important "red addresses". Dau Pagoda is a place that marks many revolutionary events.

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.

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.
