Nhi Phu temple, Nhi Phu Hoi Quan, also known as Ong Bon Pagoda, is located at 264 Hai Thuong Lan Ong Street, Ward 14, District 5, Ho Chi Minh City. Name the Nhi Phu because the temple was established due to the contribution of the Chinese -born Chinese in Tuyen Chau and Chuong Chau, Fujian, China. Later, Tuyen Chau established Wen Lang Quan, Chuong Chau group established Chuong Chau Quan Chau (now Ha Chuong). It is not clear what year the temple is built. Currently in the temple still holds a neck bell. On the bell only cast the words "Nhi Phu Dai Ba Cong An Dau in Thu Cat ..." so it is difficult to determine the date. In "Ancient Gia Dinh landscape", Bai Phu describes the Gia Dinh landscape from 1770 to 1815. On a sentence hanging at the Halge of Ha Chuong Association (established after the Nhi Phu temple), the restoration year is the family of Ky Ty in 1809.

Since its establishment, the temple has passed three major restorations in the years 1875, 1901 and 1990. However, the temple still retains the ancient features through the architectural style and traditional decoration of the Chinese - Fujian.

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).

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.

Surrounding the building is a 3m high wall, at both ends of the wall close to Le Duan Street, 2 high blockhouses are built, guarded day and night. The Embassy was completed in September 1967 with a defense system such as a fortress with 60 guards, a bomb shelter, and a radar screen system to control the facade. Immediately after the building was completed, on September 24, 1967, thousands of students flocked to the gate of the US Embassy to fight for "America to stop bombing the North", "America to go home" and issued a notice denouncing the US for "trampling and seriously violating the right to self-determination of the Southern people".

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.

The Hoc Mon people witnessed with their own eyes the cruelty of the French colonialists and the noble sacrifices of the communist soldiers, so their patriotic fire flared up even more fiercely. . For this third shooting range, they did not dare to build it near the center of the District anymore, but moved it to the Giong Junction area as a desolate, sparsely populated area to avoid people's resistance. Here, they built a shooting range with a solid mound of land 12m long, 2.2m high, in front of which were planted 6 shooting posts, each 1.7m high, the shooting direction facing the field (Ba Tram Lac). In 1941, here they secretly executed many times without letting the people see, hundreds of communist soldiers and patriots were killed by them. With the extremely sacred historical significance of Giong Junction, the place that marked the barbaric crimes of the French invaders, the place that demonstrated the indomitable fighting will and noble sacrifices of our comrades and compatriots later on. the Southern Uprising (November 23, 1940); After the complete liberation of the South (April 30, 1975), Hoc Mon district quickly restored and embellished the Nga Giong Junction revolutionary historical relic site to educate traditional generations of youth. This place has become a tourist attraction and a place to organize traditional festivals during major annual holidays of Hoc Mon district and the city, especially the anniversary of Southern Uprising Day (November 23). Currently, with the consent of the city, the district is renovating and building Giong Junction into "Giong Junction Martyrs' Memorial Area". Source: Hoc Mon electronic information portal

Nha Rong Wharf is one of the historical relics associated with the great President Ho Chi Minh's path to national salvation. Nha Rong Wharf or Ho Chi Minh Museum started out as a major commercial port of Saigon. This trading port is located on the Saigon River and was built in 1863, and more than 2 years later, in 1864, this Nha Rong was completed, on the area near Khanh Hoi bridge. Construction of Nha Rong began on March 4, 1863, by the "Sea Shipping Company" to build a store to serve as a residence for the General Director and a place to sell train tickets. The roof is decorated with a dragon image, in the middle instead of a pearl is a badge with the image of "Horse head and anchor". The "Horse Head" insignia refers to the time when in France, this company specialized in road transport with horses pulling carts, while the "Anchor" symbol symbolizes ships. In 1919, the company was allowed to build a wharf with reinforced cement but could not do so. It took until March 1930 to complete the new wharf, which had only one wharf but was 430m long. In 1955, after the French colonialists failed in Vietnam, Saigon Trade was transferred to the southern government of our country to manage. The government restored the roof and replaced the two old dragons with two other dragons with heads facing outward. With a construction area of nearly 1,500 square meters, the remaining area is a green garden with cool air and a romantic setting of more than 400 precious trees from all over the country gathered here to show off their beauty and fragrance, especially especially the banyan tree of the late General Secretary Nguyen Van Linh and the bodhi tree of the President of India. In 1965, Nha Rong was used by the US military as the headquarters of the US Military Aid Receiving Agency. In 1975, after the country was unified, Dragon House, the symbol of Saigon port, was managed by the Vietnam Seaway Department. Nha Rong Wharf is currently the Ho Chi Minh Museum, Ho Chi Minh City Branch, one of the museum branches and souvenirs about President Ho Chi Minh in the country. Because here, on June 5, 1911, young man Nguyen Tat Thanh (later Ho Chi Minh) boarded a train to work as a kitchen assistant to have the opportunity to go to Europe. Next was the day Uncle Ho left to find a way to save the country in Vietnam. Nha Rong Harbor is a place to preserve many priceless documents and artifacts to help future generations better understand the life and great revolutionary career of the Father of the Nation. The museum is built into 12 galleries with about 170 data, images and artifacts. Not only that, this is also an address for people to come and learn about the life and revolutionary career of Uncle Ho. Nha Rong Wharf is also a destination that attracts millions of domestic and international tourists. From the above great values and meanings, Nha Rong Harbor deserves to be a national historical relic that we need to preserve, honor as well as propagate and promote to friends in five continents. Nha Rong Wharf will forever be a great pride of the entire nation. Source: Department of Cultural Heritage

The Steel Wire Bot relic includes 3 separate houses, Western-style architecture, brick walls, tile roofs, located on high land in Tang Nhon Phu A ward, district 9, Thu Duc city. Steel Wire House was built a long time ago. According to elders over 80 years old, they saw the Steel Wire house when they were young. Before 1945, the Steel Wire House was formerly known as the Steel Wire House because it was built to serve as a news transmitting and receiving station for the French. The station is designed to consist of three separate houses with 'western' style architecture with three antenna columns, the tallest of which is over 70 m. The project was designed by two Frenchmen, Hermall and Stéru, to serve the invasion of the French colonialists before 1945. The steel wire is a house with one ground floor and one floor, with many windows facing out in four directions. On the left side of the house there are two stairs leading to the first floor. The strangest thing is that in Steel Wire Bunch there is a secret cellar used to lock up and torture people they consider 'rebellious'. The tunnel has only one vent at the top. The mouth of the tunnel is small (0.4 m2) just large enough for a person to stand upright and enter the tunnel. In 1945, when Japan staged a coup to oust France in Indochina, the Steel Wire House was occupied by Japanese fascists. Not long after, the Japanese fascists were defeated, the French colonialists returned and the Steel Wire House belonged to the French again. When retaking the Steel Wire House, the French colonialists took down the antenna column (leaving only one column) and built two more brick houses with high floors, one for the commander named Pi-rolet and the other. The remaining room is reserved for French soldiers to guard. Since the day they took over Steel Wire, the French army has turned this place into a prison, arresting, besieging, torturing, and interrogating the people of the heroic Tang Nhon Phu village and those they suspect of being involved. , providing supplies to revolutionary soldiers. Here, during the nine-year resistance war against the French colonialists, French soldiers interrogated and tortured countless people as well as resilient revolutionary soldiers. They arrested and brutally used all methods of interrogation. There are prisoners who suffocated to death because the cellar was overcrowded and there was no oxygen. Many other people, regardless of age, young or old, male or female, whenever they were suspected by them, they had to stand in line so they could shoot them and throw their bodies into the Cau Ben Noc River. More brutally, they also used machetes to decapitate, threw the body into the river, the head was impaled on a stake, and formed a long line in front of the steel wire fence to 'expose the crime', preventing patriots from standing up. Being surrounded by steel wire during nine years of resistance against the French colonialists was a living hell for many innocent people. The Steel Wire Basket Relic was recognized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism as a national historical and cultural relic on January 18, 1993. Source: Tang Nhon Phu A Ward Youth Union

Even though her defense lawyers argued that she was under 18 years old, the French colonialists still stubbornly imposed the death penalty. Before being sentenced, she was exiled to Chi Hoa, Ba Ria and Con Dao prisons. Because the French army did not dare to publicly execute the sentence against her, they secretly murdered her. The story is still told that, when the group of executioners told her to kneel, she shouted back at them with a legendary sentence, I only know how to stand, not how to kneel. She was executed by firing squad in 1952 in Con Dao when she was under 18 years old. About 100 meters away is the monument park and the temple of hero Vo Thi Sau. Her statue is placed there, in a cool, four-season place fragrant with porcelain flowers, magnolia flowers, and lekima flowers. A beautiful, peaceful and quiet place. The statue is cast in bronze, 7m high, in the manner of Ms. Sau leisurely walking to the execution ground, her shirt still fluttering in the wind. A person who is brave, indomitable, resilient, and never gives up in the face of hardship and danger. The temple is a place for people to pay their respects, commemorate heroes and is a place to display artifacts, introducing images of the life and activities of heroic martyr Vo Thi Sau and some images of his homeland Dat Do. .
