Soc Trang Provincial Party Committee Base Relic has an area of 281 hectares, located in My Phuoc Melaleuca forest, in My Phuoc commune, My Tu District, Soc Trang province. The center of the relic site is the Hall, where thousands of meetings of the Party Committee and the Executive Committee of the Soc Trang Provincial Party Committee took place during the resistance war. Previously, the Hall was temporarily built with materials available in the forest such as: Melaleuca, nipa palm leaves, etc. After the year of Mau Than 1968, to adapt to the new situation, and at the same time build a solid base to cling to. Long-term resistance pillar, the Hall was rebuilt with square oilwood, split-leaf roof, 4.7m high, 20m long, 4m wide and divided into 5 equal compartments. On both sides of the Hall, there are 4 concrete bunkers, used to hide when enemy aircraft or artillery bombard them. Of these, 2 floating bunkers can hold 10 to 15 people each and 2 submerged bunkers can hold 20 to 25 people each. In particular, in order to ensure the safety of the core leadership force, the Base Area is also equipped with 2 additional secret bunkers about 300m away from the Conference Hall, in which reserve food and necessary items are prepared, every day. The bunker holds about 10 to 13 people. In addition, the Base Area also has the Secretary's office and many camps of affiliated agencies built in field form. The Soc Trang Provincial Party Committee base area was also shortened by the people during the war to My Phuoc Base, because this base was formed and built in the cajuput forest in My Phuoc commune. Previously, this area was just a desolate field full of weeds, tens of thousands of hectares wide, then people came here to explore, settle and establish hamlets. In the early 20th century, after occupying 6 Southern provinces including Bien Hoa, Gia Dinh, Dinh Tuong, Vinh Long, An Giang, Ha Tien - Soc Trang area in An Giang province, France promoted resource exploitation and land occupation. agricultural products, forcing people to dig canals and grow melaleuca. At that time (1926), Soc Trang province had 4 districts: Chau Thanh, Ke Sach, Long Phu and Phu Loc. At that time, My Phuoc belonged to Chau Thanh district. By August 25, 1945, after the people of Soc Trang successfully seized power, this cajuput forest was the property of the people. After the success of the August Revolution, the whole country urgently built and strengthened forces to prepare resistance plans to continue fighting against the French colonialists. The Soc Trang Provincial Party Committee advocated expanding the workshop to manufacturing weapons to equip the armed forces and serve the resistance war, so in April 1946 the Soc Trang engineering factory was born in the Melaleuca forest. To contribute to the failure of the French strategy of "fighting quickly, winning quickly" and preserving long-term resistance forces, in September 1947 the Soc Trang Provincial Party Committee decided to move the Base from Cu Lao Dung (at that time in Long district). Phu) to My Phuoc cajuput forest. Here, the Provincial Party Executive Committee implemented the Resolution of the Party Central Committee, directly directing combat strategies for the army and people of Soc Trang on all fronts from armed to political. It can be said that My Phuoc Base at that time was the guiding headquarters of the Soc Trang Provincial Party Committee, making an important contribution to the country's common resistance war to defeat French colonialism. After 1954, when the US pushed France to occupy Indochina, under the puppet government of Ngo Dinh Diem, on October 20, 1956, Soc Trang province was renamed Ba Xuyen province. With the policy of "denounce the public, destroy the communists", the puppet government brutally murdered communists. Faced with that situation, thoroughly grasping the ideology in Resolution 15 of the Party Central Committee (1959), from the My Phuoc Melaleuca Forest Base, the Soc Trang Provincial Party Committee launched a co-insurgency movement throughout the province, starting the revolutionary path. violence against US imperialism and its henchmen. From here, the Soc Trang Provincial Party Committee continued to bring the struggle movement of the army and people from victory to victory until the day Soc Trang province was completely liberated (May 1, 1975).

In addition to the 12 round columns, the most important part inside the main hall is the altar of Shakyamuni Buddha statue, a 2.5m high statue placed in the middle of the two innermost rooms, not only precious in terms of materials but also in terms of sculptural art. On the altar, there are dense patterns with intricately sculpted networks and flame-shaped patterns that are very typical of Khmer culture. A refined aesthetic sense emerges into inspiration. Because they follow the Theravada Buddhist system, the pagodas of the Southern Khmer people only worship Shakyamuni Buddha in many different positions: meditating, newly born, begging for alms, at nirvana, etc. . The interior of the main hall of Kh'leang Pagoda brings many unexpected and interesting discoveries to visitors, which is the interference of three cultures: Kinh, Khmer, Chinese in an architectural space, clearly showing On the wooden pillars: Vietnamese lacquer art, traditional Khmer color combinations and typical Chinese drawings, create a masterpiece that perhaps only exists at Kh'leang Pagoda.

In addition to being a religious base, the main hall of Kh'leang Pagoda also stores and preserves a collection of Buddha statues with many different positions, sizes, and materials, which is considered a museum of ancient art. artifacts. These artifacts have been preserved by many generations of monks for hundreds of years, with contributions from many Buddhists. Since the beginning of the temple's construction until now, Kh'leang Pagoda has had 21 abbots and the current abbot is Venerable Tang No (1943). Some not only took care of building pagodas but also actively participated in revolutionary activities such as preventing conscription, nurturing famous revolutionary cadres... some had to sacrifice themselves before the enemy's guns like Dai Duc. Tran Ke An, the head monk, was murdered by enemies right in the back of the temple. Therefore, during the years of the resistance war against the Americans to save the country, the pagoda was both a place for organizing religious activities and the most effective place for revolutionary activities of the Party. Over the years, with its important historical significance and preserved architectural value, Kh'leang Pagoda was recognized by the Ministry of Culture as a national historical and cultural relic on January 27.

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". But the outstanding event that happened at the US Embassy was the battle of the City Rangers during the General Offensive and Uprising in the Spring of 1968. The target of attacking the US Embassy was added on January 24, 1968 by Ngo Thanh. Van is in charge of general affairs. Ranger Team 11 took on this important mission, including captain Ut Nho (military region reconnaissance captain) and soldiers: Bay Truyen, Tuoc, Thanh, Chuc, Tran The Ninh, Chinh, Tai, Van, Duc, Cao Hoai Vinh, Mang, Sau and 2 drivers: Tran Si Hung and Ngo Van Thuan. 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 pagoda is built on a high hill, with luxuriant trees, windy on all four sides, beautiful scenery, quiet, full of solitude, a place of meditation. In the past, this area was called Tieu Dao Mountain, and is commonly called Cam Forest, perhaps that's why the pagoda is famous as Cam Pagoda. According to inscriptions and genealogies, the pagoda has existed for a long time. In the 12th century, the crown prince, son of King Ly Cao Tong, donated more than a hundred acres of fields, two thousand francs of money to repair the pagoda, and 700 francs of merit for a banquet. worship easily.

The military general of the Nguyen family also had the merit of a thousand francs to buy more than a hundred acres of fields to donate to the pagoda for farming. In the 14th century under the reign of King Tran Anh Tong, Bao An Pagoda was given a lot of money to repair and embellish by Princess Hung Nuong. To remember his merits, like many other pagodas in the area, people built a shrine to Princess Hung Nuong in the pagoda. Having gone through the ups and downs of thousands of years of history, Bao An Pagoda is still at the old campus but has had many changes. Ancient architectural buildings such as the front hall, incense burner, upper palace, ancestral house, Hung Nuong princess shrine and mother shrine were demolished due to deterioration. Currently, the pagoda has been renovated and rebuilt on a large scale, with reinforced concrete architecture and tiled roof. The pagoda also preserves valuable relics and antiques such as: Dharma statues, altars, bronze bells, and stone stele. Among them, the most typical is the stone stele "Bao An Zen Tu Bi Bi Ky" (inscription of Bao An Pagoda's stele). Up to now, according to review, survey and statistical data, this is the only Ly Dynasty stele remaining in the province. The stele was engraved in December of the year Tri Binh Long Ung (1209) and re-engraved later, probably at the end of the 18th century, placed at Bao An pagoda. The stele was mentioned and published by many researchers in Ly Tran Poetry (Social Sciences Publishing House, H.1977) and Ly Dynasty Epitaph (VNU Publishing House, H.2010). This is the oldest stele in Vinh Phuc and one of the 18 Ly Dynasty stelae remaining in our country today.

Based on this stele, it can be seen that the construction and restoration of pagodas took place on Vinh Phuc land since the Ly dynasty. The construction and restoration of pagodas was encouraged, not prohibited, by the royal court and assigned to the mandarins and aristocracy to preside and organize. The construction and restoration of pagodas is also considered an important event in the spiritual life of the people, attracting the whole region and even the whole country to join in the merit. This proves that during the peak development of Buddhism during the Ly Dynasty, Vinh Phuc area was also a popular center of this religion.

It is said that this is one of the oldest evidences of Nom script found in Vietnam. Before this stele, traces of a few Nom characters were only found in two places: on the bell of Van Ban pagoda, Hai Phong (year 1076), and in an inscription at the pagoda of Huong Non commune, Tam Nong district, Phu Tho province. (year 1173). Bao An Pagoda was ranked as a provincial historical-cultural relic in 1995.
