Long Phuoc tunnel relic is about 7 km from Ba Ria city center. This is a creative work, a heroic testimony of our army and people during the two resistance wars against the French colonialists and the American imperialists. Formed right in the area temporarily occupied by the enemy, Long Phuoc Tunnels originated from people digging tunnels to avoid enemy bombs and terrorist attacks. The movement of all people to dig secret tunnels was then launched by Long Phuoc commune officials. In early 1946, Long Phuoc had more than 300m of tunnels 3 - 5m deep underground. From the tunnel system, the guerrillas and people of Long Phuoc continuously broke up many raids, including a major raid in October 1949, ensuring the safety of the Xuyen Phuoc Co base area, the resistance base of the province, and is also the focal point of communication between the central government and the Southeast. During the anti-American period, Long Phuoc tunnels expanded to most hamlets in the commune. The soldiers and people of Long Phuoc used the tunnels as a springboard to attack the enemy. The US imperialists had to use planes to spread bombs, artillery shells to plow, tanks, bulldozers and thousands of infantry to attack the tunnels. After that, the tunnel system was expanded deeper and longer. The tunnels have secret vaults to store food and weapons; There is a place to treat wounded soldiers; There are continuous fighting fortifications in all 5 hamlets of Long Phuoc commune. The tunnel under the tunnel spreads in the shape of a spine 2-3m above the ground, the tunnel is more than 1.5m high and more than 0.7m wide, people inside can walk and move easily. After liberation, Long Phuoc Tunnels were restored and renovated to become a tourist attraction, a place for the young generation to learn about the fighting traditions of their ancestors on the land of Long Phuoc. The Long Phuoc Tunnels revolutionary historical relic was ranked as a national relic in 1990. This relic is the pride and epic of the people of Long Phuoc and the entire Ba Ria city. Therefore, the investment and embellishment project of Long Phuoc Tunnels was approved in 2017. Accordingly, above the ground, a 3-storey traditional house will be built in the style of a pagoda, a tiled roof, walls covered with unburnt bricks and decorative tiles. New construction of the relic management board's house with an area of 115 square meters.

Currently, visitors can directly experience moving inside the tunnels to see the ingenuity as well as the hardships during wartime.

Vo Thi Sau was a female guerrilla during the French-Vietnamese War in Vietnam, who repeatedly carried out assassination attempts on French officers and Vietnamese people collaborating with the French colonial government in South Vietnam. . The Vietnamese government views her as a symbol of a typical Heroic Martyr in the resistance war against the French and posthumously awarded her the title of Hero of the People's Armed Forces in 1993.

Before being sentenced, she was exiled to Chi Hoa, Ba Ria and Con Dao prisons. Because the French army did not dare to publicly execute the sentence against her, they secretly murdered her. The story is still told that, when the group of executioners told her to kneel, she shouted back at them with a legendary sentence, I only know how to stand, not how to kneel. She was executed by firing squad in 1952 in Con Dao when she was under 18 years old. About 100 meters away is the monument park and the temple of hero Vo Thi Sau.

The mine bunker on Nui Lon (in Ward 5, Vung Tau City today) was built by the Japanese fascists in 1944. This was the place to store naval weapons of the Japanese army. However, with a courageous fighting spirit, our troops repeatedly broke into mine mines and took enemy weapons to make weapons to fight the enemy. In July 1941, Japan forced France to sign the "Commitment to the Common Defense of Indochina" treaty with Japan. With this treaty, Japan commanded France completely militarily. In October 1941, Japan landed in Vung Tau, quickly occupying an important position on Big Mountain, located at the Vung Tau - Can Gio seaport. From 1941-1945, the Japanese fascist army built many bunkers, underground bunkers, ammunition bunkers, and mines halfway up Big Mountain along the coast, now in Ward 5, Vung Tau City. Although the mine bunker is simply a warehouse used to store Japanese military weapons, it is no less elaborate in its construction. The mine bunker was built in 1944, and was completed after 4 months. The tunnel was built under a discreet mountain valley, built in an arch shape, inside the tunnel is a reinforced concrete wall 1m thick and 2.7m high. The front of the tunnel door is made of stone, 7m high and 20m long. The tunnels are arranged interconnected in a U-shape. The tunnel mainly stores mines and mines for coastal defense, creating an underwater battlefield blocking the Vung Tau-Can Gio estuary. At the end of World War II, Japan surrendered to the Allies, so they removed the mines from the sea, brought them up the mountain, put them in storage bunkers, and planted explosives outside. Japan's defeat on the battlefield created favorable conditions for the Vietnamese revolution to gradually win. During the long and arduous years of resistance against the Japanese and French, Vung Tau's army and people together with the army and people of Bien Hoa and Ba Ria not only defeated the enemy's long raids into war zone D and Sac forest but He also penetrated deep into the enemy's rear and won many glorious battles. During the war, the successful raids on the Nui Lon mine bunker were victories of Vung Tau's army and people. From the Ba Trao area (Nua mountain - Long Son island commune), our armed forces and security forces, relying on the people, have repeatedly broken into ammunition magazines and mine mines on Lon mountain, seizing military equipment and weapons. of the enemy to equip our troops. The mine-taking became a campaign involving hundreds of people, taking place at night and in great secrecy. Our forces are divided into groups: signaling, guarding, removing grenades, transporting mines, raising troops... According to the plan, when there was a signal of smoke and fire, the boats of our army and people in Ba Trao slowly arrived at Ben Da - Vung Tau port to receive and transport weapons taken from the enemy from the mine bunker. The guard group was divided into 2 groups to guard from the top of Ben Da slope and near the area where the Guanyin Buddha statue is now. The grenade removal team will join the special forces, guerrillas, and suicide soldiers of Thang Nhi into the mine bunker, one person will shine the light, the other person will remove the grenade, open the door, and when finished, put the grenade back as before. The group carrying the mines out worked together to climb up the mountainside in the dark night, carry the mines down the mountain, and transfer them straight to the boat and return to safety. The army support team consisted of women and sisters who transported food and lamp oil to everyone participating in the raids. At the end of June 1947, after the enemy army (the French army recaptured for the second time) withdrew from Ben Dinh post, our army and people's raids on mine bunkers became easier. Our forces transported an average of 2 mines out of the bunker at a time, each weighing more than 100kg. During the period from 1945 to 1954, our army secretly took about 60 mines to make bombs and mines as weapons to destroy the enemy. On August 4, 1992, Nui Lon mine bunker was ranked as a National Historical Monument. Source: Ba Ria - Vung Tau electronic newspaper.

This is a small military structure, divided into two floors, separated by a wooden floor, with battlements facing four directions. During the war, the terrain of Vung Tau (O Cap) was militarily important, so the occupying French army began building a port and airport as soon as they arrived in Vung Tau.
