BLACK ROCK MILL

Go Da Den is a training and discharge location for Tay Son insurgents, formerly located in Kien My village, Kien Thanh hamlet, Quy Nhon district, now located in block 1 of Phu Phong town, Tay Son district, Binh Dinh province. On November 16, 1988, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism issued a decision to recognize Go Da Den as a historical-cultural relic. Kien My is not only a place where Tay Son leaders were attached from childhood to adulthood but also one of the early bases of the Tay Son movement. In 1771, after a period of preparing forces, Nguyen Nhac, along with Nguyen Hue and Nguyen Lu, raised an uprising flag in Tay Son Thuong Dao. In 1773, from the Upper Dao insurgents marched down to liberate the lower Tay Son region and stationed their headquarters in Kien Thanh hamlet, the center of which was Kien My hamlet. This was a wise decision, especially in the early days when the uprising was launched and the force was not yet strong. On the one hand, because this is the homeland of the insurgent leaders, but on the other hand, also very important, is the favorable location of Kien My. Located at the foot of An Khe Pass on the left bank of the Kon River, Kien My is a convenient waterway transportation hub. From Kien My, you can take the road through An Khe, follow the waterway up the river to the Thuong people area, or down to the delta, to the coast. After a short period of consolidating their forces, the insurgent army moved down from Kien Thanh hamlet to capture Quy Nhon citadel, creating a turning point in the entire development process of the uprising. Kien My village - Kien Thanh hamlet, as the headquarters and starting point of the insurgent army moving to liberate the delta, has a very important position. On Kien My land, there are still many historical relics associated with the Tay Son leaders as well as the entire Tay Son movement. In addition to the ancient tamarind tree and ancient well, Truong Trau Wharf also has Palace Garden, Tap Binh Palace, Cam Co Palace, Da Den Hill, and Cut Cu Hill, which are places that reflect the headquarters and barracks of the insurgent army. Go Da Den is a high and wide land. This is originally a wild forest with an estimated area of ​​about 5 hectares stretching from Phu Lac to Bau Dao. In the middle of the mound emerges a very large black rock, that's why people call this mound Black Stone Mound. Time, war, and the revenge of the Nguyen Dynasty, partly because the insurgents stopped here not long ago, so now there are traces associated with the activities of the insurgents, in addition to the places preserved in folk memory. , there is almost nothing left. The area of ​​Da Den mound was reduced to only 2 hectares, because people dug up the soil to make bricks and used stones to build houses. The large black rock has also been chipped into pieces.
