Duong Tu Minh was exiled by King Anh Tong to the deep forest and toxic water at the foot of Duom Mountain, Phu Luong district.

In 1946, the bridge was destroyed according to the scorched earth resistance policy of the Viet Minh to stop the advance of the invaders. In 1963, the bridge was restored by Soviet and Chinese experts helping to design and construct it, becoming the current pier bridge, with a width of 17 meters, consisting of 2 steel girder spans, with a railway in the middle. , on both sides are car roads and pedestrian roads. During the escalating war against the North of our country, the US Air Force focused on raiding Ham Rong Bridge to cut off important traffic arteries and prevent support from the Northern rear to the major battlefield in the South. The destruction of Ham Rong was chosen by the White House and the Pentagon as the most important goal in the first war of sabotage in the North.

Due to the particularly important location of Ham Rong Bridge, at the North and South ends of the bridge there are two mountains, Ngoc Mountain and Dragon Mountain, which can block most falling bombs. After 2 days of stubborn fighting, Thanh Hoa shot down 47 American enemy planes, captured many enemy pilots, and protected the safety of Ham Rong Bridge. This has proven that the Party's people's war policy, the Party's military art and our people's revolutionary heroism have gone down in history as a legend that has stirred up American public opinion and made our friends love us. justice and peace around the world admired. Years passed. Ham Rong Bridge with the two words "Quyet Thang" majestically carved into the mountainside is a shining symbol of patriotism and revolutionary heroism of the Vietnamese people.

Legend has it that at the end of the Le Dynasty (Canh Hung era 1740 - 1786), the entire land of Quy Hoa district, especially Chau Thuy Vy and Chau Van Ban, were always invaded by invaders from Yunnan (China). In the work "Dai Nam Nhat Thong Tri" of the National History Institute of the Nguyen Dynasty, it clearly states about Thuy Vy continent: "Cam Duong Cave has a gold mine, Trinh Lan Cave and Son Yen Cave in the past had copper mines. Earthly products include cardamom. Ngoc Uyen Cave has zinc and silver mines. On the An River opposite Bac Sat point, there is Tuan Ty station in Nguyen Duong area, collecting salt tax, each year one thousand taels of silver. Language and writing customs are similar to those of Van Ban province. The Nguyen family will forever serve as Tutors. The military name is called Ninh Nhat. After the chaos, the population was devastated and the land was abandoned. The old managers of Huong Son cave and Trinh Lan cave recruited green-shirted Nung people to work on mining fields to pay taxes. The chiefs gathered the Nung and Manh people to live together, but they were difficult to raise and easily followed the enemy. The road from Van Ban district to get there has to go through mountains, which is very difficult. The waterway from Thao River goes uphill, underneath the river there are many jagged and bumpy rocks." At this time, the enemy general, Phu Chan Tin Toong, regularly sent troops to attack Thuy Vy district and capture Van Ban town. Faced with that situation, the Le court sent famous generals of the Nguyen family to defend the border area and advance up the Red River to expel enemy officials to liberate Van Ban province and consolidate and build Bao Ha land into a large base. Here, the famous general Nguyen gathered local lords and chiefs and recruited soldiers to practice day and night. After that, he led the land and sea army to advance to Lao Cai, driving away the enemy troops and forcing them to retreat to the Yunnan - China border area. After liberating the Quy Hoa area, he recruited the local Thoi tycoons to organize a welcome for the Dao, Tho and especially the green-shirted Nung people to set up villages, develop fields, exploit mines and build their homeland. With the plot to take over Lao Cai, the Northern invaders often sent troops to attack the border areas, but those small invasions were fiercely resisted by the army and people in the border areas, driving them back to the country. But their intention to invade still did not stop. They sent a large army led by enemy general Ta Tu Vang Pet to invade the country. Famous general Hoang Bay once again personally sent troops to fight the enemy. However, because the enemy discovered our military secrets, on the other hand, the enemy army was large, the battle was uneven between our army and the invaders, so he and his generals heroically sacrificed their lives, and his body floated down the river. Hong reached Bao Ha commune and washed ashore. People in the area mourned him with sadness, brought his body to bury him and built a temple for people to offer incense all year round to commemorate his and his generals' contributions in fighting the enemy and defending the country. Afterwards, kings Minh Mang, Thieu Tri, and the Nguyen Dynasty bestowed upon him the title "Tran An Hinh Liet". and bestowed the title "Guardian of the Nation".
