Phu Dung Pagoda also has another name, Phu Cu Pagoda, located at the foot of Binh San Mountain, Binh San Ward, Ha Tien City, Kien Giang. As one of the ancient landscapes of the peaceful and poetic land of Ha Tien, Phu Dung Pagoda not only adorns the borderland with the quiet majesty of a temple but also captivates visitors by its discovery. tells the beautiful love story of the Governor and "Miss Ai in the upside-down pot". Phu Dung Pagoda is associated with the story of the person lying in the ancient tomb, Ms. Phu Dung, who later people also gave another name, Ms. Di Tu, the first nun to live at the pagoda. Actually, the above anecdote is told by folk based on the historical novel Ai Co in an upside-down pot by Mrs. Mong Tuyet. The story is summarized as follows: Cong Mac Linh, General of the Army, Grand Admiral Mac Thien Tich, has a second wife named Aunt Tu, who is "beautiful and fragrant and has good writing". Mac Linh Cong, because of his love for beauty and poetic talent, turned from favor to natural love. As a result, Mrs. Nguyen became jealous and plotted to harm the second wife. One day, while Cong Mac Linh was busy reviewing troops, at home, Lady Nguyen locked her concubine in a pot and covered it until she suffocated and died. Suddenly, it started to rain heavily and Cong Mac Linh just arrived. Seeing that it was raining but the big pot was not tilted up to catch the water, he ordered the pot to be opened and discovered that Aunt Tu was barely alive, but luckily she was still able to save her. Although she escaped death, Aunt Tu became bored with the situation and asked Duke Mac Linh for permission to become a monk. Faced with that unruly situation, the General had no other choice but to comply and build a temple for his "Ai Co" to practice. Next to the temple, he dug a pond and planted white lotus flowers to commemorate his old love. When she passed away, Cong Mac Linh built a solid tomb, structured in the shape of a pot, to pay tribute to the beautiful woman who had to endure injustice and hardship because of him... That tomb later became Phu Dung Tu. Although there are different opinions, there is even an opinion that the love story of Mac Doge and Ai Co Phu Cu is just a fiction of writers, but most Ha Tien people know it by heart and believe that it is a beautiful, true love story, associated with the work of opening up Ha Tien land. The historical love story soaked in literature and tears between Governor Mac and Ai Co Phu Cu has since then been the inspiration for many works of stories, operas and poems. In 1959, Kien Giang writer and poet Ha Huy Ha wrote the opera "Wedding dress in front of the temple gate" based on the work "Miss Ai Co in an upside-down pot" by female artist Mong Tuyet. The opera attracted countless hearts of audiences at that time. In front of the pagoda yard is a high platform with a statue of Avalokiteshvara about 4 meters high made of cement and painted white. Next is the solemnly decorated main hall: in the middle is the statue of Sakyamuni, on both sides are the two great disciples Anan and Ca Lett. There are also 4 large reliefs (each 1.3 m high, 2.3 m wide) illustrating 4 scenes of Buddha's birth, renunciation, sermon and nirvana. Behind the main hall, through a small yard, visitors will see a two-story high attic called "Ngoc Hoang Buu Dien", which worships the Jade Emperor and the two kings Nam Tao and Bac Dau. To the left of Phu Dung Pagoda, there is a small path along the mountainside. Walk about 20 meters and you will see an ancient tomb leaning against a cliff in the middle of a forest of towering, cool, secluded trees. On the tombstone there are many lines of Chinese characters. Next to the grave, there is a stone stele engraved with Vietnamese writing: Mausoleum of Mrs. Phu Dung - Tu Thanh Thuc Nhon - Nguyen Thi Xuan (1720-1761) - passed away on the full moon day of the second lunar month - Phu Cu brand.

Perhaps the most impressive on the campus is the bronze statue of three tall iron and steel soldiers, weighing 18 tons: one holding a gun, the other holding a gun standing proudly on an enemy tank, their majestic image as if carrying them away. We return to the scene of guns exploding and bombs rumbling more than 50 years ago. The Ap Bac victory is a brilliant milestone in the history of the struggle against foreign invaders of Tien Giang people and our nation. It spoke of the indomitable will of the Vietnamese people, the invincible strength of the people's war. On January 7, 1993, Ap Bac historical relic was ranked as a national relic by the Ministry of Culture and Information (now the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism).

Phan Thiet water tower located on the Ca Ty river was built nearly 90 years ago, designed by Prince Xuphanuvong (Laos), and is currently a symbol of Binh Thuan province. Phan Thiet Water Tower (also known as "Water Tower") was built by the French from 1928-1934 according to the urban planning policy of the contemporary government, serving to provide domestic water for the French Legation (now the headquarters of Binh Thuan People's Committee) and people in Phan Thiet city. The location for the water tower is located on the land of Long Khe village, on the left bank of the Ca Ty river, high and airy, about 350 meters from the Legation Palace. The design of the water tower was drawn by Prince Xuphanuvong (Laos, who was then an international student at Albert Sarraut School in Vietnam), approved by the Hanoi Department of Public Works and the project was put out for bidding. Among two French contractors and two Vietnamese contractors, contractor Ung Du (originally from Hue, working in Binh Thuan) won the bid. The water tower is built in a regular octagonal cylinder. The height from the base to the top of the tower is 32 m. The whole is divided into 3 parts, including: the tower body, the platform and the roof. The tower's body has an octagonal cylindrical shape, each side is 3.9 m wide, the higher it goes, the smaller it becomes. The diameter of the tower's base is 9 m long, the circumference is 31.2 m, and the floor area is 73.4 m2. Along the edges of the tower's body, from top to bottom, there are 5 ventilation boxes decorated with seal patterns corresponding to the 5 words: "Happiness", "Phuc", "Tho", "Kiet", "Loc" . The meaning is to wish all people joy, happiness, longevity, prosperity and prosperity. Particularly, the west side of the ventilation box with the word "Loc" is replaced by an iron door entering and exiting the tower. The platform, that is, the water tank, is also designed in an octagonal shape, 5 m high, 9 m in diameter, containing 350 m3 of water. Around the platform, there are 8 circles embossed with pieces of porcelain stylized with the four letters U.E.P.T, which stands for the French phrase "Usine des Eaux de Phan Thiet" (meaning Phan Thiet Water Plant). With its high architectural features, the building is also used as a flagpole. Master Nguyen Chi Phu, Deputy Director of Binh Thuan Provincial Museum, said that during the construction process, experts and workers strictly followed the technical design. Gravel must be washed 5 times to remove sand and dust. Foundry sand must also be washed 3 times to remove dirt. Cast iron must be rubbed with sandpaper to remove rust. Boards used for formwork must be planed smooth so that when removed, there is no need to add any additional plaster. Thanks to that, the project is sturdy and durable until today. After nearly 90 years of existence, even in the face of war bombs and harsh environments, especially through two historic floods in the years of Nham Thin (1952) and Quy Dau (1993), the water tower still stands majestically in the heart of the city. The city, becoming a sacred symbol, entered the poetry and music of the coastal land of Phan Thiet. On October 19, 2018, Phan Thiet water tower was decided to rank as a provincial monument by the Binh Thuan People's Committee. Source: Phan Thiet Tourism

Complete liberation of the People of 18 Betel Garden Villages. After defeating Chi Hoa Fort, the French colonialists built a 3-storey wooden house here to use as a military post. When Tran Tu Ca took office as Governor of the Palace, he used the Station as the Palace of Binh Long district. Originally a cunning drunkard of the French colonialists, Tran Tu Ca was led by a group led by Mr. Phan Van Hon (Quan Hon) and Nguyen Van Qua (Chanh Lanh Binh) of nearly 1,000 insurgents who came to burn the District Palace, captured and head cut off in the middle of the market. That was February 8, 1885, At Dau Tet. Afterwards, Hoc Mon District Palace was rebuilt with a blue stone foundation, brick walls, and a defense system from the upper floors to the fence. The architecture is similar to the Military Fort, so the locals call it Hoc Mon Fort. Tran took over from Tran Tu Ca as Governor of Ngon district, moving to Tra District and then Tho District. 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.

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.

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.
