This was a long period of time when the people of the Hoc Mon region suffered from many cruel and despicable scenes from the French colonialists and their oligarchic henchmen mentioned above. With the indomitable tradition of Hoc Mon people. On June 4, 1930, around 6 a.m. in front of the District Palace, hundreds of Hoc Mon people protested demanding "abolition of poll tax, reduction of license and market taxes, and granting land to poor farmers." Tra District invited the leaders into the Palace to negotiate, but they cunningly arrested them, including Mr. Le Van Uoi (Secretary of Tan Thoi Nhi Commune), who was the leader of the protest. People were undaunted and fiercely demanded that Tea District release those detained. The protest group became more and more crowded, the fighting spirit spread somewhat, causing Tra District to give in. On the one hand, they released the detained people, on the other hand, they called the officials in Saigon for help. 2 hours later, the struggle was led by two men, Blachole and Nobbot, who opened fire on the protest group, causing many casualties. But the most impressive historical event at Hoc Mon District Palace was the Southern Uprising on November 23, 1940. Hoc Mon Fort is very solid, built of green stone like a fortress, about 15 meters high, has a gun emplacement and a defense system with battlements guarded by a platoon of green soldiers. On November 22, 1940, France reinforced one more platoon to deal with the situation. On the afternoon of November 22, 1940, Mr. Do Van Coi's army broke into the town, disguised as civilians, ambushed behind the Station waiting for orders to rob the Station.

Immediately this army was ordered to pull back to Hoc Mon. The Long Tuy Thuong army was commanded by Mr. Bui Van Hoat. The army of General Long Tuy Trung was commanded by Mr. Do Van Day and Le Binh Dang. At around 24:00 on the night of November 22, 1940, the sound of artillery fire had not yet been heard in Saigon. After consulting, the army commanders united to attack the enemy's post. Immediately the troops headed straight to Fort Hoc Mon, where District Chief Bui Ngoc Tho resided. Two insurgents named Nghe and Kinh volunteered to enter the front gate and sacrificed their lives. Insurgents from all directions rushed into the Fort like water bursting its banks. Faced with the power of the insurgents and the masses, the soldiers in the Station no longer had the spirit to resist and fled in disarray. 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. Because he was eager to capture the name of Tho District, comrade Do Van Day climbed up to the upper floor of the Station by clinging to the gutter. Halfway up, he was hit by bullets, the comrade fell and died later. The battle was at a standstill when enemy reinforcements arrived. Unable to hold out, the insurgents withdrew from the town, dispersed to the villages, the armed forces withdrew to Ben Do hamlet (Tan Phu Trung) and then moved to My Hanh hamlet (Duc Hoa). Although the attack on Hoc Mon Fort (later called Hoc Mon District Palace) failed, it left a deep impression in the hearts of all civilians admiring the courage of revolutionary soldiers in the fight against colonialism. steal the country. During the historic Ho Chi Minh campaign, at 7:00 a.m. on April 30, 1975, Hoc Mon town was completely liberated, the National flag fluttered above the District Palace, where District Chief Nguyen Nhu Sang and his gang sai has been running away since last night. Today, Hoc Mon District Palace is chosen as the District Museum, where many documents are displayed, illustrating the ups and downs of historical periods as well as the revolutionary fighting spirit of the army and people in Hoc Mon district over the past two years. resistance war against French colonialism and American imperialism.

Even though it has been forgotten over the years, it still retains its wild, ancient and strangely peaceful features. In the past, when mentioning Pho Bang, people often immediately thought of the busiest marijuana and drug trading center in Ha Giang, but after being cleared, this place retreated and had an almost closed life with others. the outside world. Due to its geographical location, hidden deep in the rock layer, the road to Pho Bang is quite difficult and dangerous. We can start from Dong Van old town and go back about 17 km.

The houses have yin-yang roofs with ancient moss-colored roofs and ivory-yellow earth walls mixed with reddish brown. The window frame is old, the wall has cracks that seem to be about to collapse, but it is extremely sturdy against the storms of Ha Giang. Hanging on it are red couplets and a lantern with engraved words of Ha Giang. The Chinese ethnic people have become discolored over the years. Things that were seemingly unusable for a long time, now under the talented hands of the ethnic people living in this land, have created a rare, ancient and wild beauty in the Northwest high mountains. Each of the four seasons has its own unique beauty, but perhaps autumn is the season when this place is the most beautiful and perfect. When autumn comes, the town takes on a desolate beauty tinged with memories, but hidden deep inside is full and intense vitality.

They are people who, despite living in poverty and darkness, are never corrupted or corrupted by money and urban luxury, but live slowly, leisurely and diligently. Day after day, no matter how the world and people change, the lifestyle of ethnic people still follows a certain trajectory. Young men still carry baskets to work in the fields, and women diligently carry their children on their backs without forgetting their work. Occasionally we see small children with dirty clothes but their eyes radiate clarity, wild innocence and full of life like buckwheat flowers growing on dry, rocky mountain slopes. With a pristine, ancient scenery that few people know about, an ethnic group with a simple and elegant lifestyle have all created the peaceful small town of Pho Bang.

The King Meo Mansion, also known as the Vuong Family Mansion, is located in Sa Phin valley, Lung Phin commune, Dong Van district, Ha Giang province, about 125km from the city center and from the Dong Stone Plateau. Famous Van is only 15km away. This ancient house is associated with the life and career of two Mong father and son, King Meo 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 conjunction 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 because it was all 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, creating excitement for everyone who comes here to check prices at least once in their life. 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 mansion 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. Existing with the unique architecture of the Cat King Mansion are surrounding stories that have been passed down from the time it was built until later. Legend has it that the original residence of King Meo Vuong Duc Chinh was in a high mountain foot next to a large canyon. With a subordinate's suggestion that the place did not conform to feng shui, the Vuong family listened and found a teacher who understood astronomy and geography to quickly find a place with both favorable terrain and good feng shui. He sent soldiers to China to invite Truong Chieu, a man who was good at reading physiognomy to build houses, to come find a location to build a mansion. After a period of careful consideration, he chose Sa Phin as the new residence for the Cat King. Truong Chieu asserted that what is surrounded by Sa Phin valley is a turtle-shaped hill, built on the turtle's back will bring wealth and prosperity, and is also the land where heroes gather. Another mysterious anecdote related to the King Cat Mansion was during the time of Vuong Chi Sinh's son. The entire Wang family was bewitched by a Han feng shui master, to the point that there was almost no one to continue the family line. Accordingly, when the Cat King was alive, he suffered from back pain and tried many miracle doctors and four-way remedies without success. A Han teacher said that his father's grave was buried on the back of a dragon, which was a sin, so his superiors reprimanded him. Believing the words, the Cat King moved the tomb to another location, suspecting that the Han people were playing a bad role and making up stories to harm him. Because of breaking the taboo, the Cat King's first wives were unable to have children. Only the fourth wife gave birth to a son, named Vuong Duy Tho.
