The current temple was built in the 19th century. At first it was called Ngoc Son pagoda, later it was called Ngoc Son temple because the temple only worshiped the god Van Xuong De Quan, the star who presided over literary examinations, and worshiped Tran Hung. Dao, the hero who defeated the Yuan army in the 13th century. Initially, when King Ly Thai To moved the capital to Thang Long, he named the existing temple Ngoc Tuong. During the Tran Dynasty, it was renamed Ngoc Son. During the Tran Dynasty, the temple was used to worship heroic martyrs who sacrificed their lives in the resistance war against the Mongols. A long time later, that temple collapsed. During the Vinh Huu period of the Le Dynasty (1735 - 1739), Lord Trinh Giang built Khanh Thuy palace and built two earthen mountains on the eastern bank opposite Ngoc Son called Dao Tai and Ngoc Boi mountains. At the end of the Le Dynasty, when the Trinh family was overthrown, Khanh Thuy Palace was partially destroyed by Le Chieu Thong. Today, after many years of history, the urbanized area of Hoan Kiem Lake has shrunk many times. Only old evidence remains like Cau Go Street in the past, there was a Wooden Bridge located on Cau Go Street today for people to travel.

A philanthropist named Tin Trai, using part of the old palace foundation, founded a pagoda called Ngoc Son Pagoda. The autograph "Ngoc Son De Quan Temple" was compiled in 1843 on the occasion of renovating the Quan De Temple into Ngoc Son Pagoda and wrote: "...Ta Vong Lake, the old name of Hoan Kiem Lake, is a scenic spot in the ancient capital. On the north side of the lake, a mound of land emerges about three or four meters wide, which is said to be the place of the fishing station in the late Le Dynasty. Previously, Mr. Tin Trai of Nhi Khe village had a Quan De temple there, so he expanded and renovated it Ngoc Son pagoda...". A few years later, the pagoda was given over to a charity association and converted into a temple to worship the Three Saints. This association removed the bell tower, rebuilt the main hall, the rows of rooms on both sides, placed the statue of Van Xuong De Quan to worship and changed the name to Ngoc Son temple. According to the article "Repairing Van Xuong Temple", "...Currently the new temple has been completed, in front of it is next to the water, Tran Ba communal house, meaning it is a pillar standing firmly amidst the wave of culture. left, east of The Huc bridge, built Dai Nghien.

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.

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".

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.
