Unlike the ancient stone relics in Sa Pa (Lao Cai), Nam Dan ancient stone field is still little known, but the beauty of the drawings and the mysteries surrounding the stones are no less attractive and appealing. coil. These megalithic relics are located between the Tay Dan mountain range and the Nam Dan hill range, right next to the Nam Khoong stream. Many large sedimentary rocks lie along the stream banks with diverse and unique shapes. Some rocks are like a flat chess board, some are like a counter or a chair. On the surface and at the edges of the stone slab, the natural weathering state remains. People in the area call this area Na Lai (field of many words) because on some rocks there are engraved pictures and words. The engravings are very diverse, bringing their own beauty in the visual style of ancient art. In addition to more than 80 engravings and drawings, on the surface of the rock there are also about 80 holes, carved with an average diameter of 5 - 6cm, 1 - 2cm deep, the holes are mainly distributed at the western end of the rock. Each rock is a mystery, associated with thrilling stories bearing the mark of belief, demonstrating the effectiveness of praying to the gods of the ethnic minority people in the region.

The name Dong Van is transliterated from the mandarin word "Tong Puon" meaning trading field. Historically this was the trading center of the entire large Dong Van district, the main hub for transporting opium to China. Quoc. The central area of Dong Van town in the past belonged to Dong Quan canton, Nguyen Binh district, Tuong Yen district, Ha Tuyen province. Afterwards, it merged into Bao Lac province, managed by a Tay mandarin named Nong in Bao Lac. When the French colonialists occupied, Dong Van was separated from Bao Lac. In 1887, the Dong Van area was occupied by the French colonialists and to facilitate colonial rule, they divided Dong Van into small continents, each headed by a ruling family. The land of Dong Van today It is managed by the Nguyen family, Mr. Nguyen Chan Quay. Previously, the Old Quarter was just a wild, sparsely populated valley. By the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, when the French occupied Ha Giang, with the intention of turning this area into a busy trading center, the Old Quarter was built and formed. Looking down from above, 3 rows of market houses are arranged in a U shape, roofed with yin and yang tiles. When the market was first built, it was built with bamboo leaves. Elderly people currently living in the street recounted: During the Lunar New Year in 1923, there was a big fire in the Dong Van old town area. That fire burned down almost all the houses and shops thatched with thatch and bamboo leaves. The French colonialists at that time re-planned and sent a number of Tay and Mong people to hire workers from China to design and build today's market area. The ancient market consists of 15 market halls, divided into 3 symmetrical rows forming a U-shaped architecture. The pillars are large stone pillars 3 or 4 people thick, carved meticulously by human hands. According to collected documents, there are currently 2 houses in Dong Van Old Town that are over 100 years old. In addition, in this neighborhood there are also a number of villas of other local companies such as the villas of Tay ethnic people Nguyen Dinh Cuong (1828-1865) and the Nguyen family, which have now been demolished, leaving only the old floor. . From 1923 to 1940, the houses in the Dong Van street area were built by Sichuan workers and local workers. Regarding architecture: Most of the ancient houses on Dong Van Street were designed and built by Chinese and local craftsmen, so they have very common nuances, such as: the foundations and porches are built of green stone. , the walls are made of clay mixed with lime, molasses and paper or fired bricks or rustic bricks, so they are durable. Doors and windows are designed as arched or square doors with stone or brick cladding in the door frame. House columns were built of burnt bricks or solid wood and pine. Currently, some houses in the neighborhood still retain elaborately carved stone column bases in many different shapes, mainly 4-sided or circular pillar with the appearance of a poppy flower. In the house, the floors and second floor are all paneled with precious woods. The houses are designed to be built in the style of 3 rooms and 2 roofs, with yin and yang tile roofs or square houses in the middle of the yard with paved stones (like the old People's Committee house). Ancient houses in Dong Van Old Quarter were built with the same decoration and arrangement. The middle space is an important space used to place the altar, right at the entrance and also a place to receive guests, behind the altar of the middle room and the two rooms. Next to it is the bedroom, the middle room behind the altar is the room of the elders in the family, the two sides are the rooms of the children and grandchildren. If the house is large, you can have a separate kitchen or stairs to the second floor depending on how you arrange it. each family's mindset The houses have an imposing appearance and delicate softness of wood and stone carvings, a harmonious combination of ancient Chinese architecture and Vietnamese art. Go to the rocky plateau to visit Dong Van ancient town, visit the highland market to immerse yourself in the indigenous culture. It can be said that the market is the place that most clearly shows the cultural identity of the people here. The highland market is not only a place for trade but also a meeting place for boys and girls. This is truly a festival for the people of the mountainous frontier. Every Sunday when the market The session was held, a noisy, bustling and boisterous atmosphere, boys and girls with colorful dresses came to the market. It can take them half a day to get to the market. Some people go to the market to buy and sell products. Wives and mothers go to the market to shop, husbands go to the market to socialize, drink wine and eat Thang Co, and young men and women go to the market to socialize and find partners. These are bold expressions of the market cultural identity of the rocky plateau. We can see somewhere the image of a wife standing under an umbrella waiting for her drunk husband to sleep at the corner of the market or on the sidewalk. It is a beautiful image imbued with identity that cannot be found anywhere else. With ancient and mossy features that have survived the flow of time, Dong Van Old Town was recognized as a historical, cultural, and artistic architectural relic in 2010.

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 combination 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, all were 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. 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 Villa 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. Source: Ha Giang Tourism Newspaper

An Lu Temple, located in An Lu commune, Thuy Nguyen district, Hai Phong city, worships famous physician Tue Tinh. The temple is located on the alluvial strip of the Cam River system, flowing through the ancient land of Thuy Nguyen, where land exploration and the creation of villages of people engaged in wet rice agriculture and fishing very early on. Old historical data collected in the locality shows that: during the reign of Tran Due Tong (1370-1377), the great-grandfather of the Pham family named Viet Trinh, who was a merchant, led 5 people from the last names: Bui, Nguyen, Vu, Hoang. Through the eastern land of Thuy Duong district (the old name of today's Thuy Nguyen), we found that the land here is spacious but the population is still very sparse. They immediately discussed and agreed to establish a new area to live in. After that, from their old hometown in Cam Giang, many people continued to come and explore the land, establish hamlets, and the village became more and more crowded. The genealogies of these migrating families have been passed down by generations of descendants, honoring the great-grandfather Pham Viet Trinh as the person who made the first contributions in exploring and organizing land exploration to establish the An Lu village today. After 7 years of moving the population to the land along the Cam River, many villagers continuously suffered from epidemics, were constantly sick, were confused, and intended to return to the old place to do business and live. When you calm down and remember your hometown, there is a medicine made from herbs that are ground yellow, ground, then boiled and drunk. The good medicine was passed down by the great physician Tue Tinh. Everyone told each other to follow the instructions. Indeed, the epidemic was repelled and the population was at peace. That year, in the Dong Sim area, the villagers built a small temple to worship the famous doctor, and named the village An Lu, meaning peaceful village, and the common name was Xua. Rebuild the Xua market, build a 7-span bridge made of ironwood for people to travel across the stream flowing to the Cam River to remind the image of the old homeland. In the past, in An Lu land, there were many other relics such as Tiger Temple, But wharf, and Chung communal house where villagers many times held ceremonies related to propagandizing and disseminating healing methods using plants. , herbs, passed down the good remedies of the great physician Tue Tinh. Over time, war, and harsh nature have completely destroyed the original relics of the village worshiping the famous physician Tue Tinh. In early 1948, An Lu villagers welcomed the famous tutelary physician Tue Tinh to worship at An Bach temple, where villagers worshiped national hero Tran Quoc Tuan and his sons at the current relic site. now. The statue of the great physician Tue Tinh was created by folk artists with skillful hands, rich in traditional Vietnamese art. The statue is made to resemble a real person in the style of a round, solemn statue in official uniform of the late 19th century. The annual An Lu village festival takes place from the 11th day of the 11th lunar month. Depending on conditions, the festival can last from 3 to 5 days. What is special for both Thuy Nguyen district and An Lu village in particular is that in addition to the festival commemorating the great physician taking place at his temple, cultural traditions imbued with local identity are also preserved such as: holding the Xua market in the morning. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there are many local products and many other rich countryside. Here, people meet each other in the new spring, wish each other good things, and hope for a new year with lots of luck and prosperity throughout the year.

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.

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.
