Bac Me Cang was built by the French before 1938 during their occupation of Ha Giang. The French chose to build here because of its important strategic location, easy control over a large area, and convenient for French military activities during their occupation here. Bac Me Cang is built on the rugged, soaring rocky slopes. Behind is Dragon Mountain as a shield to protect this post, in front is the Gam River, making it easy to observe and cover the situation. Bac Me stretch was originally built by the French to control the arterial road connecting 3 northern mountainous provinces: Ha Giang, Tuyen Quang, and Cao Bang. When it was first built, it was used as a military camp to gather French soldiers and henchmen during the occupation of this area. The reason this place is called Cang Bac Me is because in French, Cang means "fort", and in the local language, Bac Me is "Pac Mia", which means hut door. Refers to the post where the troops were stationed as well as where the French colonial observation post was located. Bac Me stretch was built including a system of posts, information houses, and guard posts to serve their ruling purposes. From 1939 to 1942, Cang Bac Me was turned into a prisoner of war camp by the French to detain communist soldiers they captured. There are many of our patriotic revolutionary comrades detained here such as: comrades Xuan Thuy, Hoang Hui Nam, Hoang Bac Dung, Le Gian, Nguyen Hong, Dang Viet Chau... Taking advantage of the key terrain of the post built in the sacred forests and dangerous waters of this area. They arrested political prisoners and patriotic communist soldiers and imprisoned them here. Every day, those soldiers had to endure torture and labor in harsh and miserable conditions under their strict control in order to extinguish the patriotism and revolutionary will of their children. They are called Viet Cong. But all those hardships could not overcome the stubborn will of our people. The patriots turned pain into action, turning prisons into political schools. They established Party cells in prison, actively distributed leaflets and contacted people and soldiers outside. Faced with strong fighting activities of prisoners and people in the area, they were forced to change the place of detention with their communist comrades to other places. By 1992, Bac Me Cang was recognized as a national revolutionary historical relic. Over time this place has been greatly damaged. In 2003, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Ha Giang province coordinated with agencies in the province, along with Bac Me District, to restore a number of items of the relic such as: watchtower, prison, up and down road...

Unlike the ancient stone relics in Sa Pa (Lao Cai), Nam Dan ancient stone field is still little known, but the beauty of the drawings and the mysteries surrounding the stones are no less attractive and appealing. coil. These megalithic relics are located between the Tay Dan mountain range and the Nam Dan hill range, right next to the Nam Khoong stream. Many large sedimentary rocks lie along the stream banks with diverse and unique shapes. Some rocks are like a flat chess board, some are like a counter or a chair. On the surface and at the edges of the stone slab, the natural weathering state remains. People in the area call this area Na Lai (field of many words) because on some rocks there are engraved pictures and words. The engravings are very diverse, bringing their own beauty in the visual style of ancient art.

The name Dong Van is transliterated from the mandarin word "Tong Puon" meaning trading field. Historically this was the trading center of the entire large Dong Van district, the main hub for transporting opium to China. Quoc. The central area of Dong Van town in the past belonged to Dong Quan canton, Nguyen Binh district, Tuong Yen district, Ha Tuyen province. Afterwards, it merged into Bao Lac province, managed by a Tay mandarin named Nong in Bao Lac. When the French colonialists occupied, Dong Van was separated from Bao Lac. In 1887, the Dong Van area was occupied by the French colonialists and to facilitate colonial rule, they divided Dong Van into small continents, each headed by a ruling family. The land of Dong Van today It is managed by the Nguyen family, Mr. Nguyen Chan Quay. Previously, the Old Quarter was just a wild, sparsely populated valley. By the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, when the French occupied Ha Giang, with the intention of turning this area into a busy trading center, the Old Quarter was built and formed. Looking down from above, 3 rows of market houses are arranged in a U shape, roofed with yin and yang tiles. When the market was first built, it was built with bamboo leaves. Elderly people currently living in the street recounted: During the Lunar New Year in 1923, there was a big fire in the Dong Van old town area. That fire burned down almost all the houses and shops thatched with thatch and bamboo leaves. The French colonialists at that time re-planned and sent a number of Tay and Mong people to hire workers from China to design and build today's market area. The ancient market consists of 15 market halls, divided into 3 symmetrical rows forming a U-shaped architecture. The pillars are large stone pillars 3 or 4 people thick, carved meticulously by human hands. According to collected documents, there are currently 2 houses in Dong Van Old Town that are over 100 years old. In addition, in this neighborhood there are also a number of villas of other local companies such as the villas of Tay ethnic people Nguyen Dinh Cuong (1828-1865) and the Nguyen family, which have now been demolished, leaving only the old floor. . From 1923 to 1940, the houses in the Dong Van street area were built by Sichuan workers and local workers. Regarding architecture: Most of the ancient houses on Dong Van Street were designed and built by Chinese and local craftsmen, so they have very common nuances, such as: the foundations and porches are built of green stone. , the walls are made of clay mixed with lime, molasses and paper or fired bricks or rustic bricks, so they are durable. Doors and windows are designed as arched or square doors with stone or brick cladding in the door frame. House columns were built of burnt bricks or solid wood and pine. Currently, some houses in the neighborhood still retain elaborately carved stone column bases in many different shapes, mainly 4-sided or circular pillar with the appearance of a poppy flower. In the house, the floors and second floor are all paneled with precious woods. The houses are designed to be built in the style of 3 rooms and 2 roofs, with yin and yang tile roofs or square houses in the middle of the yard with paved stones (like the old People's Committee house). Ancient houses in Dong Van Old Quarter were built with the same decoration and arrangement. The middle space is an important space used to place the altar, right at the entrance and also a place to receive guests, behind the altar of the middle room and the two rooms. Next to it is the bedroom, the middle room behind the altar is the room of the elders in the family, the two sides are the rooms of the children and grandchildren. If the house is large, you can have a separate kitchen or stairs to the second floor depending on how you arrange it. each family's mindset The houses have an imposing appearance and delicate softness of wood and stone carvings, a harmonious combination of ancient Chinese architecture and Vietnamese art. Go to the rocky plateau to visit Dong Van ancient town, visit the highland market to immerse yourself in the indigenous culture. It can be said that the market is the place that most clearly shows the cultural identity of the people here. The highland market is not only a place for trade but also a meeting place for boys and girls. This is truly a festival for the people of the mountainous frontier. Every Sunday when the market The session was held, a noisy, bustling and boisterous atmosphere, boys and girls with colorful dresses came to the market. It can take them half a day to get to the market. Some people go to the market to buy and sell products. Wives and mothers go to the market to shop, husbands go to the market to socialize, drink wine and eat Thang Co, and young men and women go to the market to socialize and find partners. These are bold expressions of the market cultural identity of the rocky plateau. We can see somewhere the image of a wife standing under an umbrella waiting for her drunk husband to sleep at the corner of the market or on the sidewalk. It is a beautiful image imbued with identity that cannot be found anywhere else. With ancient and mossy features that have survived the flow of time, Dong Van Old Town was recognized as a historical, cultural, and artistic architectural relic in 2010.

King Meo's Mansion, also known as Vuong's Mansion, is located in Sa Phin valley (Xa Phin), Lung Phin commune, Dong Van district, Ha Giang province, about 125km from the city center and about 125km from the city center. The famous Dong Van stone plateau is only 15km away. This ancient house is associated with the life and career of two Mong people, the Meo King Vuong Chinh Duc and Vuong Chi Sinh (or Vuong Chi Thanh). Mr. Vuong Chinh Duc (1886 - 1962) was the head of the feudal land government in the mountainous areas of the Mong people, so he was also known by the powerful name of King Meo. His son, who followed the revolutionary path, thanks to his contributions to the country, was elected as a National Assembly deputy for the first two terms. Construction began in 1898 and was officially completed in 1907, costing a huge sum of 150,000 Indochina white silver coins, equivalent to 150 billion VND today. The mansion was designed and built by Chinese Yunnan workers in combination with Mong ethnic people, creating a project larger than 1200m2 on an area of about 3000m2. Thanks to its long history and indisputable cultural value, King Cat Palace was ranked a national monument by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in 1993, after nearly a century of existence. In addition, this mansion also took up to 5 years to start construction, all were built with human power and did not use any mechanical means. King Cat's mansion is located at the foot of a valley surrounded above by a high land. With this type of terrain, the entire structure is protected by mountain arcs called turtle shell positions, providing very good defense support during times of fierce war. After more than a hundred years of existence, everything in the mansion is still as intact as the first day. The architecture inside the mansion is extremely unique, the crystallization of three different cultures including the Mong, French and Chinese. The project includes 4 horizontal houses, 6 vertical houses divided into 3 areas: front palace (for guards and slaves), middle palace and rear palace (place to live and work) with 64 small rooms divided into 2 floors. . To meet the criteria of solidity, the builders used green stone to help the mansion stand firm against enemies and time. The roofs, walls and pillars are made of wood to add majesty and flexibility to the rooms. Another material used is terracotta for building tile roofs to make shaping easier but no less sturdy. To this day, the Cat King Palace is one of the few buildings that meets all the requirements for a place to live, work and become a defense base whenever a war occurs. Despite the combination of three cultures in architecture, many people commented that the Vuong family mansion is extremely harmonious, flexible and rhythmic as if forming a unified block without being restrictive or forced. In addition, although it is a project built on a land area of up to 3,000 square meters, the mansion is not as large or massive as many people imagine because it is composed of small subdivisions, with a simple, rusticity of folk architectural culture. The design with the principle of low inside and high outside makes the overall Villa even closer to the surrounding landscape. In general, most of the furniture and items associated with King Cat when he was alive have been kept and well preserved until today. Only a few chairs and wooden furniture were made of stone pine, which was later replaced by our government with ironwood and crushed wood to prevent it from gradually disappearing over time. The wooden structures have a rich local cultural identity by carving native flower patterns such as peaches, poppies... The pillars are crafted to resemble the fruit of the opium poppy, a plant that King Cat does business to make money to build a mansion. Some Western-influenced items in this project include a stone goat milk bathtub, glass shutters next to the fireplace, and the entrance is made of marble connected by a frame. Iron flowers are bold in French architecture. Source: Ha Giang Tourism Newspaper

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 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.
