To protect national security, the royal court stipulated that foreign ships, whether far or near, entering the port must anchor in Van Don and not proceed further inland.

Tran Dynasty historical relic site in Dong Trieu belongs to An Sinh, Trang An, Binh Khe, Thuy An communes. Currently, this is the relic that retains the most imprints of the glorious Tran Dynasty. In the year At Dau, 1225, Ly Chieu Hoang ceded the throne to her husband Tran Canh, marking the transfer of power from the Ly dynasty to the Tran dynasty. From here, the Tran dynasty ruled the country for 175 years, with 12 kings, creating the most glorious dynasty in our country's history. The Tran Dynasty (1225 - 1400) with martial arts and literature, opened a heroic era in the history of building and defending the country. According to documents, the Dong Trieu area was the Tran family's first settlement. Afterwards, this land was given by King Tran Thai Tong to his brother Tran Lieu as a thang moc hamlet. When reigning, each dynasty paid attention to two issues: Duyen Trach was the land where the capital was located, and Am Trach was the place where temples and mausoleums were located. Besides Thang Long continuing to be chosen as the capital, the Tran Dynasty also built and developed two cultural centers and two mausoleum areas in the east and south of the capital. Many researchers have identified Dong Trieu as a major cultural and religious center, along with Thang Long - the political and economic center and Thien Truong Long Hung, the birthplace of the Tran Dynasty. The ancient name of Dong Trieu was An Sinh, but it was only during the reign of King Tran Du Tong that the name was changed, and it became the current Tran Dynasty historical relic site. This is a special national relic area including mausoleums, temples, pagodas, and towers with 14 relics spread out. This is a sacred holy land imbued with historical and cultural spirit and is the original hometown of the Tran Dynasty. Since the 13th century, the Tran Dynasty built Thai Mieu, worshiping the Three Patriarchs of Tran, which is the most important relic site. By the end of the 14th century, many tombs of King Tran were moved to Dong Trieu. The Tran Dynasty historical relics area includes 3 groups, the temple relics group, the mausoleum relics group and the pagoda relics group. Temples and mausoleums are attached to the Tran Dynasty's temples. Along with building mausoleums, the Tran Dynasty also built temples and shrines to worship the predecessors, and many pagodas also sprang up accordingly. But at that time, Dong Trieu only played the role of a mausoleum area and had not yet become the Buddhist center of Dai Viet. It was not until King Tran Nhan Tong became a monk that he went to Yen Tu mountain to practice and founded the Truc Lam Zen sect. He unified the previously existing Zen sects and the entire Buddhist church of the Tran dynasty under one umbrella. During this period, Dong Trieu became an important Buddhist center. The Tran kings built here a dense system of temples, tombs, pagodas and towers in a large landscape area stretching up to the slopes of Yen Tu mountain. Ngoa Van Ho Thien Pagoda is where the Buddha King Tran Nhan Tong preached sermons, and is also a place associated with the cause of propagating Buddhism in Dai Viet, training monks at a higher level. On Ho Thien Pagoda there is also a 7-storey stone tower whose architecture is still a mystery to researchers, attracting many researchers and history lovers from everywhere to visit and study. rescue. Quynh Lam Pagoda is considered the first Buddhist university in Vietnam, possessing a Buddha statue of one of the Four Great Elements of An Nam. The tower garden in the pagoda and the stone tower tombs of Zen masters have unique architecture, a typical cultural heritage not only of Quang Ninh province but of the whole of Vietnam. Over time, natural disasters destroyed, war ravaged, many ancient works in the Tran Dynasty historical site in Dong Trieu are only ruins. However, those ruins still retain their value in the hearts of the people. An Sinh in the past, Dong Trieu today is where the Tran Dynasty kings expressed the fallen leaves ideology of returning to the roots of the Vietnamese people. The things that still exist or even the things that are only left underground are still timeless heritages that not only carry the historical value of the famous dynasty but also demonstrate the 700 years of existence of pure Vietnamese Buddhism.

Bach Dang Historical Relic is located in Quang Yen Town and Uong Bi City. This is the place marking the event when the Tran Dynasty's army and people achieved a famous victory - the Bach Dang Victory, defeating the Yuan Mongol invaders in 1288. In the history of our nation's defense of the country, Bach Dang River has witnessed our army and people three times resoundingly defeat the mighty Northern invaders, all with wooden stakes planted in the Bach Dang river bed. That was Ngo Quyen's Bach Dang victory in 938; 981 by Le Hoan and the peak was the Bach Dang victory in 1288 by Hung Dao Dai Vuong Tran Quoc Tuan. Bach Dang River has become a historical river, Bach Dang stake has become a symbol of the tradition of fighting foreign invaders by waterway of the Vietnamese people. After more than 700 years of sedimentation by the river, the pile pile was deep under layers of mud. It was not until 1953 that people digging soil to build dikes discovered the Bach Dang piles. At first, people did not have the knowledge and awareness to protect cultural heritage, so many piles were pulled up to make rafters and straw piles. After many excavations, archaeologists discovered hundreds of stakes, mainly ironwood, 2.6 to 2.8 m long and 20 to 30 cm in diameter, inserted straight. The average distance between piles is from 0.9 m to 1.5 m. Bach Dang stake yard relic area (including Yen Giang pile yard, Dong Van Muoi pile yard, Dong Ma Ngua pile yard). Yen Giang stake yard relic has an area of about 3,000m2 located at the mouth of Chanh River with a rectangular shape of about 120m long and about 20m wide. Yen Giang stake yard was ranked a special National Monument in 2012. After that, the monument was zoned for protection, an introductory stele was erected, and the access road was embellished to create favorable conditions for tourists to visit. This is also an address for students to learn about history and serve their studies. Currently, Yen Giang pile yard still has about 300 trees in the ground. At the relic site, the pile yard is filled with water to the pond for conservation. Near the Yen Giang stake yard is the Van Muoi copper stake yard with an area of about 6,000 square meters located at the mouth of the Rut River, in Nam Hoa ward, discovered by the people of Quang Yen during the process of farming and digging ponds. After the survey and excavation in 2005. Subsequent archaeological excavations found a total of nearly 200 stakes, showing that wooden stakes planted vertically and diagonally in the Van Muoi field area belonged to many types of wood used. both trunk and branches. The diameter of each pile is from 7 - 10 cm, the pointed part is only about 25 - 30 cm. However, the density of stakes here is very thick, usually 40 - 60 cm apart, some stakes are only 10 - 30 cm apart. According to researchers, this is the southern half of the Bach Dang stake field, while the northern half is the Yen Giang stake field. Because between the two piles there is a strip of high rocky dunes, when the tide is low, the boat cannot cross and is forced to go close to the shore. Therefore, Tran Hung Dao chose a position to place stakes on both sides of the dune to form a V-shaped defense line tightly covering the throat of the Bach Dang River to block the enemy's retreat, creating a glorious victory in the above battle. Bach Dang River in 1288. The pile was then buried under a layer of mud for better preservation.

This is the third pile yard in the Bach Dang pile yard. Located at the mouth of the Kenh River, about 1 km south of the Van Muoi copper pile. The pile yard is 70 m long and 30 m wide, with stakes of many types of wood with diameters from 6 - 22 cm densely arranged in strips like a wall. The three piles of Yen Giang, Dong Van Muoi and Dong Ma Ngua have created large, complex, hidden underground piles under the water, blocking the escape route to the sea, helping to destroy and capture 600 warships with 40,000 people.

According to scientists, the Ha Long area and the surrounding coastal and island areas of the bay include many terrigenous and carbonate sedimentary formations, ranging in age from the Paleozoic to the Neoproterozoic era. Many sedimentary formations in this area contain paleontological traces in various forms of fossils, including groups of animals and plants that have completely or almost completely disappeared from the earth. Geological history of Ha Long Bay, opened nearly 500 million years ago, with very different and quite complex paleogeographical circumstances. The presence of the bay and the islands in the bay are unique evidence of the earth's historical development, including geological characteristics and the continuous movement and development of the Karst terrain, the Fengcong system. and Fengling. The special terrain of Ha Long Bay is closely related to the climatic history and tectonic movement of the earth. The islands here are quite ideal models of Karst formed in tropical, humid conditions. The entire Ha Long Bay area is a Karst landscape over many millions of years, with pyramid-shaped, eroded Karst towers, creating an outstanding and unique beauty around the world. Stalactites in caves in the Bay Area are younger than other caves. Rainwater flows down through cracks in the cave ceiling and walls. Along the way, it dissolves and erodes limestone and deposits it into stalactites on the ceiling and stalagmites on the floor... Thousands of islands and dozens of beautiful caves have created the aesthetic value of the Bay. The beauty of Ha Long is created from 3 elements: rock, water and sky. The system of rocky islands in Ha Long has many shapes and forms, blending with the sky and sea, creating a watercolor painting. The inside of the large rocky islands is attractive with beautiful and strange caves. Dau Go Cave evokes an overwhelming feeling, with stalactites of various shapes and sizes. Thien Cung Cave is like a majestic and beautiful temple. Bo Nau Cave has an arched door, with countless stalactites hanging down as soft as willow branches. Sung Sot Cave is surprisingly beautiful, with stalactites in the shapes of wild chickens, toads, dragons, waterfalls, and many other shapes, opening up a fairy tale world. Caves such as Tam Cung, Trinh Nu, Ba Hang, Tien Long,... each cave has unique and amazing beauty. The tectonic history of Ha Long Bay has gone through very different paleogeographical circumstances, many times of mountain formation, sea retreat, subsidence, sea advance... Ha Long Bay still retains the imprints of the orogeny process. , the great trough of the earth, has the structure of ancient ramparts and trenches. Ha Long Bay area was once a deep sea in the Odovician - Silurian periods (about 500 - 410 million years ago), a shallow sea in the Carboniferous - Permian periods (about 340 - 250 million years ago), a coastal sea in the late Paleogene period, early Neogene period (about 26 - 20 million years ago) and experienced several sea encroachments during the Anthropocene period (about 2 million years ago). In the Triassic period (240 - 195 million years ago), when the earth in general and Europe in particular had a hot and dry climate, the Ha Long Bay area was wet swamps, with forests of cycads and giant ferns. accumulation of many generations... The Karst topography of Ha Long Bay has global significance and is fundamental to geomorphological science. The geological environment is also the foundation for other values of the bay, such as biodiversity, archaeological culture and other human values. The total number of plant species living on the islands in Ha Long Bay is about over a thousand species. A number of different plant species communities have been found, such as mangrove species, island sandbank plants, species growing on mountain slopes and cliffs, on mountain tops or growing at the mouths of caves or caves. rocks. Researchers from the World Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) have discovered 7 endemic plant species of Ha Long Bay. These species are only adapted to living on the limestone islands of Ha Long Bay, and cannot be found anywhere else in the world, such as: Ha Long cycad, purple astragalus, Ha Long palm, antler astragalus, anthurium. Ha Long ear, Ha Long's five family envelopes, golden flower guard girl.

The main way of life of Soi Nhu's owner is "catching shellfish, including gathering fruits, digging tubers and roots", knowing how to catch fish but not having a fishing career. The Cai Beo site is one of the first pieces of evidence to confirm that the ancestors of the ancient Vietnamese people, from a very early age, confronted the sea and developed here a brilliant culture, a meeting point. convergence of many different elements and nuances into a very old traditional cultural line in Vietnam and Southeast Asia: the Cuoi cultural line. Regarding the way of residence and living of Cai Beo people, in addition to hunting and gathering, there is also exploitation of the sea.

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.

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.

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.
