Nine Tunnels Historical Relic Area

Nine Tunnels Historical Relic Area

Chin Ham relic site is located on the slopes of Thien Thai mountain, in Ngu Tay village, Thuy An commune (now An Tay ward), Hue city. The former Nine Ham Area (1941) was built by the French colonialists as a weapons warehouse. In 1945, after the Japanese coup d'etat over France (March 9, 1945), the Japanese fascists took all the weapons here, the Chin Ham area was left vacant. Under the Ngo Dinh Diem government, Ngo Dinh Can, as "Lord of the Central Region", converted Chin Ham into a place to imprison revolutionary soldiers and patriots. From here, Chin Ham Prison is associated with the barbaric crimes that the Ngo family committed against our people. These tunnels were converted by Ngo Dinh Can into semi-submerged, semi-floating rectangular concrete blocks. Among these, dungeon number 7 is a typical dungeon system. Can had them converted into tiger cage-style cells that could only fit one person (1.8m x 1.8m x 1.8m), under the hands of tyrant Ngo Dinh Can, using no means to subdued the revolutionary will and patriotic spirit of the soldiers. Their crimes are encapsulated in more than three thousand verses in the poetry collection "Living in the Grave" by author Nguyen Dan Trung (Nguyen Minh Van), a witness who survived from Nine Ham Prison, the real poetry collection. is a denunciation of the crimes of the Ngo family group, touching many people. It is a tribute to the loyal communist soldiers who devoted their lives to the Party, to the people, and to the cause of national liberation. A shining example for everyone to study. To commemorate the communist soldiers and patriots who fell at Chin Ham, and also to mark the crimes of the enemy, on December 16, 1993, the Ministry of Culture and Sports issued Decision No. 2015 -Decision/Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism recognizing Chin Ham relic as a national historical and cultural relic.
