So we can see that the scale of citadel construction and the position of the citadel are very important. The citadel was built with the strength of the people, even with the blood and tears of the people. The citadel has a hexagonal structure, with an area of about 420,000m2 and a circumference of 2,520m. includes 2 walls: inner wall and outer wall. Along with the high citadel system is a deep moat system. The trench was dug close to the edge of the citadel to get land to build the citadel and also served as a protection system, increasing the difficulty when the enemy attacked the citadel. The ditch system is also annually planted with lotus seeds to collect seeds to pay tribute to the court. The citadel has 3 entrances: Front gate, Left gate, Right gate. Cua Tien is the main door facing south with a sense of direction towards the capital Hue, and is the door for the king to sit in. The king was solemnly welcomed here, and the mandarins in the imperial ministry and the governor who came in and out were also welcomed here. The Left Gate opens to the east. In the middle above the gate arch are engraved two Chinese characters: "Left Gate". The gate's foundation is now covered because this road was paved in 1990. Huu Gate is opened to the west. The intermediate foundation also reveals polished blue stone slabs of many different sizes. Compared to the Front gate and the left gate, the body of Huu gong is still more intact. The gates are designed with domes. Standing in the middle of the city gate, we both feel like standing in the middle of a small solid house and also feel like standing in a solid blockhouse. It can be said that Nghe An citadel was designed as a military fortress, with high defensive capabilities. On the way to the city gates, across a deep moat, a bridge was built for travel. The bridge is built in a rolling arch style. The stone foundation is very solid. The bridge is 4.42 m wide, 2.5 m high, the bridge is 3.5 m wide, boats can easily pass under the bridge arch. During the Nguyen Dynasty, inside the citadel, the largest building was the palace. Along with that are agencies such as the governor's palace, the governor's palace, the military commander's palace, the governor's palace, the barracks and the prison. The entire citadel is equipped with 65 cannons, 47 of which are placed in guard posts, the rest are concentrated in the palace and the governor's palace. Thanh Vinh was born to create a political and military center, as well as a defense project of Nghe An province. In 1885, the French colonialists opened fire to invade our country. The feudal regime of the Nguyen dynasty resisted weakly, so Vinh citadel quickly fell into the hands of the French colonialists. Since then, Thanh Vinh has become a testament to a tragic but heroic period of the Nghe An people. This place witnessed the brave struggle of Uncle Ho's beloved sister - Mrs. Nguyen Thi Thanh. She organized the theft of guns from the barracks so that the insurgents would have enough weapons to attack the citadel, but when the matter was revealed, she was arrested and taken to Lao Vinh's house, where she was brutally tortured. The trial on June 4, 1918 sentenced her to 100 strokes and 9 years of hard labor. Next was the period of boiling spirit of the revolutionary climax of the 30th and 31st. Thanh Vinh became the place to witness extremely fierce struggles, witnessing the courageous spirit of sacrifice of the people of Nghe An to create a Soviet peak. By 1941, Vinh citadel again witnessed the sacrifice of the Palace Team and patriotic soldiers standing in the ranks of the French army. Through the process of history, the dust of time and the devastation of war have left the Citadel no longer intact. Only 3 city gates still retain their basic structures, still standing tall between the roads leading to the inner city. Vinh Ancient Citadel is an ancient vestige, a unique architectural work with enormous historical and cultural value. In 1998, Vinh Citadel was ranked as a National Monument by the Ministry of Culture and Information. Source: Nghe An Relics Management Board

It is also recorded that after the conversion, Ly Nhat Quang became a saint and always blessed the court to defeat many invading enemies, so later dynasties, every time they sent troops to fight the enemy, they returned to Qua Son temple to light the fire. He prayed for his blessing and after winning the battle, he returned to the temple to burn incense and pay tribute. Therefore, people say, Ly Nhat Quang lived to fight the enemy, and died heroically fighting the enemy.

Through many events, ups and downs of history, due to time and war, Qua Son Temple today no longer retains its former scale and stature. In 1952, bombs caused serious damage to the temple. Only the ancient stone stele and his tomb remain in the temple.

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. At the end of 1966, two more floors and a terrace were built to serve as a landing place for helicopters. 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. .

The pagoda is built on a high hill, with luxuriant trees, windy on all four sides, beautiful scenery, quiet, full of solitude, a place of meditation. In the past, this area was called Tieu Dao Mountain, and is commonly called Cam Forest, perhaps that's why the pagoda is famous as Cam Pagoda. According to inscriptions and genealogies, the pagoda has existed for a long time. In the 12th century, the crown prince, son of King Ly Cao Tong, donated more than a hundred acres of fields, two thousand francs of money to repair the pagoda, and 700 francs of merit for a banquet. worship easily. Assign martial general Nguyen to directly direct and mobilize donations to repair the pagoda.

The military general of the Nguyen family also had the merit of a thousand francs to buy more than a hundred acres of fields to donate to the pagoda for farming. In the 14th century under the reign of King Tran Anh Tong, Bao An Pagoda was given a lot of money to repair and embellish by Princess Hung Nuong. To remember his merits, like many other pagodas in the area, people built a shrine to Princess Hung Nuong in the pagoda. Having gone through the ups and downs of thousands of years of history, Bao An Pagoda is still at the old campus but has had many changes. Ancient architectural buildings such as the front hall, incense burner, upper palace, ancestral house, Hung Nuong princess shrine and mother shrine were demolished due to deterioration. Currently, the pagoda has been renovated and rebuilt on a large scale, with reinforced concrete architecture and tiled roof. The pagoda also preserves valuable relics and antiques such as: Dharma statues, altars, bronze bells, and stone stele. Among them, the most typical is the stone stele "Bao An Zen Tu Bi Bi Ky" (inscription of Bao An Pagoda's stele). Up to now, according to review, survey and statistical data, this is the only Ly Dynasty stele remaining in the province. The stele was engraved in December of the year Tri Binh Long Ung (1209) and re-engraved later, probably at the end of the 18th century, placed at Bao An pagoda. The stele was mentioned and published by many researchers in Ly Tran Poetry (Social Sciences Publishing House, H.1977) and Ly Dynasty Epitaph (VNU Publishing House, H.2010). This is the oldest stele in Vinh Phuc and one of the 18 Ly Dynasty stelae remaining in our country today. The stele is 1.4m high, 0.85m wide, 0.14m thick, placed on the back of a smooth-shelled stone turtle, its head protruding, its four-clawed feet spread out in all four directions.

Based on this stele, it can be seen that the construction and restoration of pagodas took place on Vinh Phuc land since the Ly dynasty. The construction and restoration of pagodas was encouraged, not prohibited, by the royal court and assigned to the mandarins and aristocracy to preside and organize. The construction and restoration of pagodas is also considered an important event in the spiritual life of the people, attracting the whole region and even the whole country to join in the merit. This proves that during the peak development of Buddhism during the Ly Dynasty, Vinh Phuc area was also a popular center of this religion. The special thing is that among the nearly 1,500 words on the stele, there are mixed Nom words, these Nom words are used to write people's names and land names. It is said that this is one of the oldest evidences of Nom script found in Vietnam. Before this stele, traces of a few Nom characters were only found in two places: on the bell of Van Ban pagoda, Hai Phong (year 1076), and in an inscription at the pagoda of Huong Non commune, Tam Nong district, Phu Tho province. (year 1173). Bao An Pagoda was ranked as a provincial historical-cultural relic in 1995.

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.

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.
