Seven-acre coconut forest

Bay Mau coconut forest in Cam Thanh Hoi An, when put into tourism exploitation, has become an attractive destination for tourists. The reason for this name is because in the past, this forest had about 7 acres of coconut trees growing freely. To date, the forest has grown to more than 100 hectares but people still keep the name Bay Mau coconut forest because it is so familiar and dear to Hoi An people and tourists. Because it is located right in the brackish water area, it is very suitable for nipa coconuts to grow. There are 2 ways to get here, from Hoi An ancient town you can go here by road or river. If you go by boat, you start from the wharf on Bach Dang street, right near Hoi An market. You will follow the flow of the Hoai River down East, about 5 kilometers to get there. If you go by road, you go along Tran Phu street, go straight to Nguyen Duy Hieu, see the intersection, turn right onto Tran Nhan Tong street, go about 4km more and Bay Mau Cam Thanh Coconut Forest will appear before your eyes. Friend. This place, during the years of resistance against the French colonialists and American imperialists, became a revolutionary base, helping our troops fight to defeat the enemy with many glorious victories. The local guerrilla force relied on the hidden terrain and many easy-to-hidden places to organize many surprise battles, even when our army was too thin but the enemy was very numerous and we still defeated them. During the enemy raid, the enemy was equipped with more modern weapons than we were, had artillery and air force to fight, but still could not defeat us. One can mention the typical battle in 1948, when the French colonial infantry, with the support of tanks, attacked the Bay Mau Coconut Forest in Hoi An to destroy all our armed forces. But without fear, the local guerrilla force, familiar with the terrain, organized a secret attack, following close to the enemy. We threw grenades into the trunk of the vehicle, making the enemy extremely frightened, forcing them to abandon the raid. but turned around and retreated to Hoi An. Because they saw that many raids had failed, they forced people in surrounding communes to clear the entire forest so that we would have no shelter and no surprise attacks. However, they did not achieve their plan. After only a short time, the Coconut Forest grew lush and green again, causing their raids to fail miserably. After ending in victory, expelling the French colonialists, in 1954, when the Geneva Agreement was signed, Ngo Dinh Diem took over Quang Nam. They caused many bloody massacres such as in Vinh Trinh and Cho Duoc. And yet, they constantly organize raids to "Indict the Communists", "Destroy the Communists", and hunt down the Communists day and night. And during that time, the coconut forest helped high-ranking officials of the Hoi An City Party Committee and Quang Nam Provincial Party Committee have a safe place to hide and not be captured by them. In 1966, when the US imperialists brought troops into the South, they conducted many large-scale raids and the liberated area of ​​Cam Thanh with the enemy's location of Bay Mau Coconut Forest was also among them. On June 13, 1966, they mobilized 4 mixed American-puppet companies consisting of 1,000 soldiers and 28 helicopters to attack the Cam Thanh area and the coconut forest. Not only are they equipped with modern weapons, they also receive support from 5 motorboats mounted with machine guns along with long-range artillery from the support of neighboring posts. Yet in just 3 days of fighting, taking advantage of the terrain of the coconut forest, our troops organized many counterattacks to break up the enemy's raids, destroy many enemy troops, and cause great losses to the enemy. From 1967 until the day Safety Hoi won, many times the guerrillas and soldiers immersed themselves in the coconut forest, launched many surprise raids, making it difficult for the enemy to react in time, so we were able to defeat them. the enemy's air force, artillery, and naval vessels in a spectacular manner. This place contributes to becoming a safe haven, making Cam Thanh an important springboard in the East for our forces to attack the inner city of Hoi An with many glorious, once-famous victories, helping Hoi An was completely liberated, ending 20 years of resistance against the US to save the country by our army and people. Bay Mau coconut forest in Hoi An is a base that has gone down in the history of the homeland as a death zone, a grave for enemy corpses because so many enemy soldiers died here. Although many of the defensive and combat structures of our army in the past no longer exist, the coconut trees still exist with strong vitality and tenacity, growing green all year round as if marking the heroic and glorious achievements of our people. The army and people of Hoi An during the two resistance wars against the French colonialists and the American imperialists. Coming here, visitors will be able to visit the forest entirely on a boat in the style of the Southwestern region. However, the characteristic point that distinguishes this coconut forest from the western rivers is that here people do not use common boats as a means of transportation but use basket boats. Let's talk about basket boats. When visitors come here with questions and curiosity, the boatman will explain the origin of this boat, when did they exist, why do people use basket boats instead of normal boats... All your questions will be explained. Come here to experience the feeling of traveling on this special vehicle and find the answer for yourself. My experience is that you should go around the 8th month of the lunar calendar, then you will be able to admire the nipa palm bushes in their ripening season and enjoy the delicious and delicious dish of sprinkled coconut rice. You should avoid going in November and December because the rains can leave you stuck in your room and unable to enjoy the journey. Under the control of the supple rower, the boat slowly moved deep into the Bay Mau Coconut Forest. The tall green coconut trees cast shadows into the water. On the trip, the boatman will pick coconut leaves to make funny natural jewelry such as hats, rings, glasses... extremely lovely gifts for tourists. While going down the quiet water, admiring the vast green coconut groves, listening to the boatman sing a Quang folk song, or immersing yourself in the story of the resistance war through the warm, loving voice of the Central people, you will become into an experience you never want to end. Thanks to its hidden terrain, Bay Mau coconut forest was chosen as a base and is associated with the glorious victories of Hoi An's army and people in two national resistance wars.

My Son Sanctuary

My Son Sanctuary is a project started by King Bhadravarman in the 4th century and completed at the end of the 13th century. Under the reign of King Jaya Simhavarman III in the early 14th century, My Son was an architectural complex with more than 70 temples with unique styles and designs typical of the Champa kingdom. Most of the architecture here is influenced by Hindu culture. Due to the devastation of the war, by 1975, My Son only retained 32 structures including 20 temples and towers that still retain their original architectural features. On December 1, 1999, My Son Sanctuary was officially recognized by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage. Through many ups and downs of history, My Son still stands strong until today. As is known, the architecture of My Son Sanctuary is greatly influenced by Hinduism. All temples and towers are made of brick and stone and face east - this is the direction of the rising sun and is considered the place where the gods reside. The temple structure here is divided into 3 main parts: the tower base, the tower body and the tower top. The special thing is that each temple tower at My Son worships a different king or god. Because of this, each project is considered an important piece of the puzzle through each dynasty of Champa. My Son relic area will have areas including: Area A: This is the first area to visit. Here you can see the entire My Son Sanctuary, but most of the buildings in Area A are in the process of being restored. Area B: Located in the western hill area, there is 1 main tower and 3 auxiliary towers. Area C: Located in the southern hills and is also the most unique area with many temples, towers, reliefs, inscriptions, and extremely impressive works. When coming to My Son Sanctuary, don't miss the opportunity to experience the unique Kate festival of the Cham people. This is a traditional festival held in July each year according to the Cham calendar, an opportunity to remember grandparents and ancestors and pray for the fertility of all things. Visitors will witness many traditional rituals such as: water procession, peace offering, palanquin procession or admire performances with a variety of musical instruments. In addition to visiting historical buildings, visitors can also admire the Apsara dance inspired by the Apsara sandstone sculpture. The Apsara dance titled "The Soul of Stone" and the performance of beautiful Cham girls to the sound of Paranung drums and Saranai trumpets will fascinate all visitors. Regarding the most favorable time to go to My Son, you need to note that in Quang Nam there will be two main seasons: the rainy season (September - December) and the dry season (February - August). The dry season will of course be a much more favorable time. To visit My Son Sanctuary, you should choose from February to April, at this time the weather is very cool, the sun is not too harsh, so it is easy to move around and visit.
