The Royal Mausoleum was built in 1826, including the tomb and temple of Mr. Pham Dang Hung, the grandfather of King Tu Duc, the father of Queen Mother Tu Du, wife of King Thieu Tri. At the end of the 16th century, Mr. Pham Dang Long followed his father to the Go Cong area. When he arrived at Go Rua (Son Quy), he saw that the land was very beautiful, but in the entire Go Cong area at that time, there was no place to dig a well with fresh water. Then he discovered underground water at Go Son Quy, so he gathered the graves of three generations here and built a house on this mound. Mr. Pham Dang Hung is the third child of Mr. Pham Dang Long, born in Go Son Quy, in 1764 (now Lang Hoang Gia hamlet, Long Hung commune, Go Cong Town - Tien Giang province). He is an intelligent man, perfect in literature and martial arts. In 1784, at the age of 20, he passed the Tam Truong exam, was appointed by the royal court to be a priest in the Palace, and then was promoted to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In 1824, he was ordained Minister of Rites, and in 1825 he was entrusted with guarding the Hue citadel. In the summer of 1825, Pham Dang Hung fell ill and passed away. His coffin was brought back to his hometown and buried at Go Son Quy. In 1849, he was posthumously awarded the title Duc Quoc Cong by King Tu Duc. He had 4 children who were high-ranking mandarins in the Nguyen Dynasty. King Minh Mang married the princess to his son Pham Dang Thuat and promoted him to the rank of Lieutenant. King Minh Mang also married his daughter Pham Thi Hang (also known as Mrs. Tu Du) to Prince Mien Tong, later King Thieu Tri. The mausoleum was built by Mr. Pham Dang Ta, the eldest son of Pham Dang Hung, on a land area of 3,000 m2, right on the old house of the Pham Dang family. The most talented artisans specializing in building mausoleums and royal palaces from Hue were brought together with local artisans to build unique architectural works, imbued with royal style. In 1849, when King Tu Duc posthumously promoted Pham Dang Hung to the title of Duc National Duke, he restored and expanded the church, built three more steps, three gates, and conferred deities according to royal rituals. Entering from the street, we see the main place where the National Duke Pham Dang Hung is worshiped; The left side worships Phuoc An Marquis Pham Dang Long, the father of Pham Dang Hung; On the right, Binh Thanh worships Pham Dang Dinh; The last one on the left worships My Khanh son Pham Dang Tien, the late grandfather Pham Dang Hung and the right one worships Thiem Su Phu Pham Dang Khoa, the nun Pham Dang Hung. Pham Dang Hung's grave is buried on a high mound shaped like a turtle shell. The tomb was built in the shape of an octagonal pillar top, looking both like a conical hat and a lotus bud. On the back of the tomb, a semicircular screen is built, with 4 dragons carved above and 5 unicorns below. Five great elements become bones - Unicorn walls appear, (Five generations of honor and good things - Auspicious omen of unicorns appear). Around his tomb there are a number of decorative reliefs such as lotus buds, dragon fish... In 1888, King Thanh Thai ascended the throne and prepared to visit the mausoleum so he had it restored. In the year of Khai Dinh 1921, the mausoleum was restored again and in 1998 the church was greatly restored, partly returning the special architectural features for the Royal Family in the famous Go land. On December 2, 1992, the Ministry of Culture and Information recognized the Royal Tombs as a national historical-cultural relic.

It is not a scenic spot, but the place where a resounding battle took place. The battle in which the US and puppet forces concentrated maximum force, using modern warfare equipment and innovative tactics, with American advisors and their henchmen determined to sabotage the revolution, in order to crush Ap Bac and destroy main force of the Southern revolution. On January 2, 1963, with 200 gunmen, the army and people of Ap Bac defeated more than 2,000 enemy troops with aircraft, tanks, warships supporting and American advisors commanding, breaking two new tactics. The period that the US applied in special warfare was "helicopter transport" and "armored transport" signaling the collapse of Ngo Dinh Diem's regime and the special war strategy of the US empire. Early in the morning of January 2, 1963, the enemy launched a sweep by the 7th Division Command and the Security Task Force in Dinh Tuong sub-region. The sweep took place within Tan Phu commune to encircle and destroy our local platoon that they discovered; Our forces only had company 1 of battalion 514 and company 1 of battalion 261. At 5:00 a.m. on January 2, 1963, the enemy divided into two wings to enter Ap Bac, but we blocked and attacked them, forcing them to call in reinforcements. institute. At the same time, our engineering field used mines to sink a ship at Kinh 3 and damaged two others. At 9:30 a.m., they landed a helicopter at Ap Bac; Under the command of company commander Bay Den, we broke up many enemy attacks supported by both helicopters and M113 vehicles. By evening, after many failed attacks, the enemy withdrew from the battlefield. As a result, they failed miserably, with: 450 dead and wounded, including 10 American advisors; 3 M 113 amphibious vehicles were destroyed; 8 helicopters were shot down; 1 ship sank and 2 other ships were damaged. Currently, the relic site is an architectural complex located on an area of nearly 3 hectares including: exhibition house, area recreating the activities of Ap Bac soldiers and people in battle, bronze statues of 3 iron and steel soldiers, area display of trophies after the battle: armored vehicles, helicopters, 105mm artillery; the grave site of 3 iron and steel soldiers: Nguyen Van Dung, Do Van Trach and Hung (don't know their last names); The manor house is interspersed with a flower garden that is always blooming and fragrant. 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).

The mausoleum is located on April 30 Street, Cai Lay Town, Cai Lay District, Tien Giang. After the Four Men sacrificed, people built a tomb and temple in Cai Lay Town and to show respect for the people called Tomb of Tu Kiet. According to folk tradition, the four men were all famous for their courage, strategy, and superior martial arts. Having a passionate patriotism, when the French invaded Dinh Tuong province (1861), the four men joined the insurgent force led by Thien Ho Duong. Along with other insurgents, the four of them participated in many fierce battles in the areas of Ba Giong, Cho Gao, My Tho... during the fighting, the four of them achieved many resounding victories. In 1868, when Thien Ho Duong's uprising failed, the four men returned to Cai Lay to gather soldiers, choosing the Cai Be - Cai Lay area as the area to continue fighting against the French. The most glorious victory of Tu Kiet's army was the attack on My Tho citadel and the destruction of Cai Lay garrison. After two years of operations causing a lot of damage to the enemy, Tu Kiet's uprising had to fail under the siege and total suppression of the French expeditionary force. The four men were arrested. They lured them with glory and wealth for many days but failed. On February 14, 1871 (December 25, Canh Ngo year), the enemy took the Four men to the execution ground to be beheaded. More brutally, they also beheaded the four men at Cai Lay market, in order to threaten the spirit of the people. Then punch it at the river wharf next to the market. Admired by the lives and heroic and indomitable fighting example of the four men, the people of Cai Lay built an earthen tomb, surrounded by a wooden fence and solemn incense smoke. In nearby My Trang village, Mr. Nhieu, a student of Dang Van Nguu, built a shrine in front of his house right in the area where the four men were beheaded. The temple was roofed with yin and yang tiles and to blind the colonial government, people called it Ong Pagoda (because in front there was an altar to Quan Cong symbolizing loyalty), and at the back was a tablet engraved with the four words Four Gods. The soul, painted with bright red and gold, worships the Four Noble Phantasms. The storm in the year of the Dragon (1904) caused the temple to collapse. Mr. Nhieu moved the temple to Thanh Son village (formerly in Thanh Hoa commune, now Cai Lay town). Currently, the temple is located in Quarter 1, Cai Lay town, more than a hundred meters from Tu Kiet's Tomb. In 1967, Cai Lay people restored the temple and the Four Ong's tomb on a larger scale, with a shrine inside and a guest house outside. In 1999, the mausoleum of the four men was restored on a large scale by Tien Giang province, looking very spacious and ancient as it is today. Every year on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, Cai Lay people gather here in large numbers to sweep the graves and hold a very solemn death anniversary, respectfully remembering the Four Men who sacrificed themselves for the country and killed the enemy, setting a shining example. for posterity.
