Tung Luat Wharf Relic (Wharf B)

Tung Luat wharf is one of the particularly famous historical relics, making an important contribution to our people's fight against the French. On January 6, 1950, right at the wharf, Regiment 95 and Company 354 crossed the river and defeated the French at Cua Tung station. Thereby affirming the strength, stubborn fighting will and fighting spirit for national liberation of our army and people. Under the leadership of the Party, the army and people of the eastern communes of Vinh Linh and Gio Linh joined forces to destroy the raids of the French enemy, eliminating hundreds of French soldiers and puppets from combat, destroying many military vehicles. their modernity. Tung Luat wharf has completed its historic mission, serving as a bridge between the North and South banks, contributing together with the people of the country to defeat the invasion plot of the French colonialists. On July 21, 1954, the Geneva Agreement was signed, it seemed that the country would enjoy peace and independence, however, Tung Luat wharf had to enter pages of history filled with blood and tears. The anti-American and puppet history of Tung Luat wharf began with night ferry trips, secretly bringing soldiers and military intelligence officers to the South to operate in the years 1956-1965. On those boats, there was a special guest secretly welcomed across the river, First Secretary Le Duan. Having suffered bitter defeats by the Saigon puppet government against the revolutionary movement in the South, American troops directly participated in the war. Tung Luat wharf once again became the focus of the battle between justice and brutality. With the code name "B ferry", Tung Luat ferry is a bridge connecting the north and south banks of Hien Luong river, one of the starting points of the Ho Chi Minh road on the sea, the starting point of the only traffic route. connecting the mainland with the heroic Con Co island. Tung Luat Village Militia Company was established with 110 soldiers, with the task of protecting the wharf, transporting soldiers, militiamen, firemen, and food, weapons, and ammunition. Ferry station B transports fire brigades of communes: Vinh Long, Vinh Tan, Vinh Trung, Vinh Tu, Vinh Thanh, Vinh Hoa... across the river to the South to serve the attack on hill bases 31, 28 , Quan Ngang, Cua Viet. Also during this fierce war, B Tung Luat Ferry Station was assigned the additional task of transporting and evacuating people in the southern area of ​​Ben Hai River to the North. B Tung Luat ferry station can transport nearly 1.4 million soldiers, militiamen, and civilians across the fire line. This same wharf was the starting point of Company 22, a suicide unit transporting weapons, ammunition, medicine, and food to Con Co Island, which was blockaded by the US Navy and the Saigon government. Every night, when there are storms and rough seas, each boat carries a squad of militiamen who are remembered alive before boarding the boat to the island. The militiamen, who were originally gentle fishermen, suddenly became soldiers, ready to let "The waves call our souls back to the small island". With wooden boats and bamboo boats sailing and rowing through the night at times of rough seas, from 1965 to 1972, Company 22 transported thousands of tons of ammunition, weapons, food, and supplies to Con Co Island, contributing to maintaining the Fatherland's outpost in the East Sea. Ferry station B was the most impermanent point of life and death in the country during the war against America and national salvation. Countless children of Tung Luat land and many other rural areas of the country have stayed here with blood and bones mixed with Hien Luong River water and sand and mud of this river bottom. Thanks to the great contributions in the two wars against the French and the Americans to save the country, in 1996, the Tung Luat wharf historical relic was recognized and ranked by our state as a national historical relic. To engrave the achievements of the army and people who fought and sacrificed heroically, at this wharf the monument of wharf B was built. The monument was built on an area of ​​about 100m2. However, according to historical witnesses and researchers, the scale of the monument's structure and soul are not really commensurate with the great feats of our army and people, especially the sacrifices of so many people. soldiers on this land. Therefore, the officers and people of Tung Luat village, the people of Vinh Giang, Vinh Linh and soldiers from many parts of the country who fought here, those who have children, and children who have stayed here, very much wish and recommend. Recommend local authorities and authorities of Quang Tri province to soon research, renovate and upgrade the historical relic of B Tung Luat wharf to match the heroic historical achievements of this place.

Memorial area of ​​the 1948 My Thuy massacre

My Thuy is a village located south of Hai An commune, Hai Lang district, Quang Tri province, about 15 km east of Hai Lang district town and National Highway 1A along Provincial Highway 8. Location in the north of the road Provincial Road 8, at the beginning of My Thuy village is the center where the My Thuy village massacre took place in 1948, which has been ranked as a national monument by the Ministry of Culture and Information according to Decision No. 38-2001/Quyet Dinh -Culture and Sports July 12, 2001. My Thuy is a coastal village located on the eastern slope of Dai Truong Sa sand dunes, formed relatively late after the 17th century. Like many other coastal villages in Quang Tri, My Thuy people have long linked their lives to the sea by struggling with waves and the worries and hardships of making a living. It was in that situation that My Thuy's person was forged the qualities of tolerance, hard work, kindness, tolerance, and a determined, persevering heart, regardless of enemies to follow the revolution. During the years 1930-1945, the revolutionary movement in My Thuy under the direction of the Trieu Lang cell had positive activities, contributing together with the whole Hai Lang region to the victory of the general uprising in August 1945. 1945. After the victory of the August Revolution, My Thuy was a village of Hai Chau commune. Since the French colonialists returned to pacify Quang Tri (January 1947), due to many strategic advantages, My Thuy was both a border area and a free area) to control and master the area but Still unable to establish a meeting. The revolutionary movement still maintains and develops. Based on the convenient location of waterway traffic and far from the political center of My Thuy, the main force and resistance officers chose this as a place to stop, consolidate forces, and conduct guerrilla warfare. The people of My Thuy wholeheartedly follow the Party and the resistance. In particular, after 1947, the Tri Thien battlefield faced many difficulties: hungry people, officers and soldiers lacked food, medicine, ammunition... Military Region IV organized campaigns in Thanh Hoa and Nghe An provinces. An and Ha Tinh provided support to help Tri Thien continue the resistance. Because there are no road transport conditions, goods must be transported by sea and gathered in coastal areas, far from the control and control of the French government and its henchmen. In My Thuy, Binh Tri Thien's communication and supply lines have many times gathered and dispersed goods and weapons smoothly. This made the French army extremely bitter and frantic in trying to destroy the revolutionary movement in My Thuy, continuously organizing raids, arson and committing barbaric crimes. Since advancing to pacify Quang Tri (January 1947 - April 8, 1948), French troops have carried out three raids and burned My Thuy village. On March 5, 1947 (February 2, Dinh Hoi year), French troops invaded My Thuy village, burned most of the houses, killing 3 people. On March 17, 18 and 19, 1948, the French colonialists mobilized forces to simultaneously sweep into villages in the Hai Lang delta with a campaign called "Hai Lang Week". During this large-scale raid, they killed more than 1,300 people, burned thousands of houses, and robbed a lot of property, including My Thuy village. On March 19, 1948, after only 1 hour of committing a crime and then withdrawing, the French army and its henchmen killed 74 innocent My Thuy people; Most of them are middle-aged men, breadwinners. Hundreds of meters of nets, fishing gear and more than 20 fishing boats were completely destroyed. This was both a massacre and an attack on the pink economy, crushing the spirit and will to resist of the My Thuy people. Less than 20 days after the massacre, when the grass on the graves of those killed on March 19 had not yet grown, on April 8, 1948, the French colonialists carried out another massacre and wild arson. more savage, more brutal in the true sense of "three cleans" on the villagers of My Thuy. After more than 3 hours of burning, raping and looting, the French army withdrew, leaving behind a desolate, mourning village of My Thuy; White sand stained with human blood, piles of flesh and bones littering burning houses. The whole village had only a few children left and less than 20 people. 452 innocent people were murdered and all the houses and fishing gear of My Thuy villagers were completely destroyed. This was a brutal massacre and had the highest number of deaths that the French colonialists inflicted on the people of Quang Tri. The My Thuy massacre in 1948 is eloquent evidence of the brutal murder of the French colonialists against the My Thuy people in particular and the people of Quang Tri in general; is the pain of loss, but also represents a tradition of heroic and resilient struggle of those who sacrificed for national independence.

Victory at Khe Sanh - Lang Vay

In early 1968, Khe Sanh - Huong Hoa suddenly attracted the attention and attention of the whole world when the Politburo and Central Military Commission decided to open the Route 9 - Khe Sanh Campaign. Not only the US military advisory team in Saigon but also America's leading military experts were "disoriented" when they thought there would be "another Dien Bien Phu" at Khe Sanh. US President B. Johnson directed the establishment of a "Special Situation Room", created a Khe Sanh table in Washington, and requested General Westmoreland - Commander of the US Military Advisory Command in South Vietnam to sign a pledge. We promise not to lose Khe Sanh at any cost because it is America's honor. Khe Sanh Valley is located in the remote mountainous area in the west of Quang Tri, identified as one of the strategic areas in the area bordering the route. In 1966, in the area south of the 17th parallel to Route 9 - Khe Sanh, the US built an invisible defense line, named the McNamara electronic fence. In the "anchor" position of the border junction area, Khe Sanh is positioned as one of the three magic eyes of the McNamara electronic fence, where the US focuses on building a group of strong bases including the Huong Giang Military Region. Hoa, Lang Vay stronghold cluster and Ta Con airport, were fully equipped with the most modern and advanced weapons at that time with many dense fortification systems supported by B52 aircraft, along with elite army to cut off the support line on the Ho Chi Minh Trail, prevent our troops from entering from the North and from Laos and create a screen to shield their defense area east of Route 9. At the beginning of 1968 , there are many reasons why Americans believe that the liberation army will carry out the decisive strategic battle at Khe Sanh. First, from the similarities in topographic factors and strategic roles between the Dien Bien Phu and Khe Sanh basins. Next, America believes that by "abandoning" our traditional rural areas, the mountains and forests will be a springboard for us to attack the plains and urban areas. From the commander to the US ambassador, everyone judged that the liberation army did not have enough strength to attack cities and urban areas and that it was just a "diversionary attack"; The main battlefield will definitely take place at Khe Sanh. The Central Bureau of the South also intentionally dropped documents that made the US believe even more that Khe Sanh was the place where a decisive strategic battle took place. On our side, after the victories won in the dry season of 1965 - 1966, 1966 - 1967, the Politburo Conference in December 1967 commented: We have defeated the enemy in both strategy and tactics, and military force. and our politics in the South have grown stronger than at any time, we are taking the initiative across the battlefield. "The basic development of the situation is that we are in a winning position, proactive and favorable position, the enemy is in a losing position, passive and difficult position." On that basis, the Politburo advocates opening: "the attack of the main force in the direction of especially important strategic coordination, Route 9 - Khe Sanh, to attract and detain the enemy's strategic forces... ” Implementing the above strategic policy, according to the proposal of the General Staff, the Politburo decided to launch the Offensive Campaign on Route 9 - Khe Sanh in the spring and summer of 1968. The General Command mobilized a force for the campaign. strong, including 4 monks regiments (304, 320, 324 and 325), Regiment 270 and 2 local army battalions of Quang Tri province, 1 battalion and 5 special forces companies, 5 artillery regiments (45th, 84th, 164th, 204th and 675), 3 anti-aircraft artillery regiments (128, 282, 241), 1 tank battalion (4 companies), 1 battalion information battalion, 1 reconnaissance battalion, 1 chemical defense battalion, 1 regiment and 2 engineer battalions, 1 flamethrower company, 6 transport battalions and local armed forces of Gio Linh district, Cam Lo, Huong Hoa. The entire above force is under the unified command of the Campaign Command, led by Major General Tran Quy Hai - Deputy Chief of General Staff as Commander, Major General Le Quang Dao - Deputy Director of the General Political Department as Political Commissar. At the time we launched the campaign, the enemy force defending Road 9 - Khe Sanh had about 45,000 troops, including 28,000 American troops (10 battalions of the 3rd Marine Division, 9 artillery battalions, 3 battalions of group and 1 mechanized company; arranged in front line in the east: from base 31, Doc Mieu, Con Tien, Quan Ngang to Bai Son temple; Dong Ha, Cam Lo, Ai Tu and Quang Tri town; the middle line is the bases of Tan Lam, Ca Lu, 241 (west of Quang Tri town); the western area includes the bases of Huong Hoa, Lang Vai, Huoi San and the Ta Con stronghold cluster (including Dong Tri, 832, 845...). With the determination to "Turn Khe Sanh into a living hell for the American army", on On January 20, 1968, we launched the Route 9 - Khe Sanh campaign. After 170 days and nights of continuous attacks and sieges, our troops eliminated 17,000 enemies from combat, shot down and destroyed 480 aircraft and 120 soldiers. military vehicles, 65 large-caliber cannons and mortars, 55 gasoline and ammunition depots, confiscating thousands of guns of all kinds, successfully ending the Route 9 - Khe Sanh Campaign Historically, Huong Hoa district was completely liberated with more than 10,000 people. The victory of the Route 9 - Khe Sanh campaign proved our Party's correctness and creativity in fighting the enemy, not only with the US Military Command but also with the planners. "tough" strategy in the White House. The Khe Sanh victory is the result of the correct and creative leadership of our Party, headed by President Ho Chi Minh.

On National Highway 1A through Quang Binh province, from Cam Lien intersection, go southwest about 7km to Le Thuy district center. From there, go across Treo market bridge to Xuan Bo village - Xuan Thuy commune - Le Thuy district. More than 55 years ago, in this land rich in cultural and revolutionary traditions, a fierce battle took place between us and the French army, which was the Xuan Bo victory (May 20, 1950). To deal with the enemy's tricks, the Party Committee and the Binh Tri Thien Command decided to open the Le Lai campaign and the 1949 Fall-Winter campaign. The purpose of these campaigns was to expand and consolidate the regions. Based on the delta, the key points are the two districts of Quang Ninh and Le Thuy, determined to protect crops. To carry out the campaign, the Command also reinforced the two districts of Quang Ninh and Le Thuy, Regiment 18 and Regiment 95, belonging to Division 325. Regiment 18 was stationed in Xuan Thuy commune, Battalion 436 of the 18th Regiment stationed in Xuan Bo village, Xuan Thuy commune. On the morning of May 19, 1950, units of the 18th Regiment along with the people of Xuan Bo held a rally to celebrate Uncle Ho's birthday and celebrate the victory of the Le Lai campaign. Receiving this news, French General Le-Brit flew from Thua Thien-Hue to Dong Hoi, decided to suddenly launch an attack, plotting to destroy the 18th Regiment. The 6th Sphahy Battalion was notorious for its wickedness, The French press always boasted that they were "very good at fighting" and "had not yet met their opponents" and were also dispatched from the Northern Delta earlier. Understanding the enemy's plots and plans, the leaders of the 18th Regiment immediately dispersed the rally to prepare to fight the raid. At 8:00 a.m. on May 20, 1950, the 6th Sphahy Battalion from My Trach station and the Quang Binh Combat Response Battalion from Thuong Phong station both crossed the river and coordinated to attack Xuan Bo village. At the same time, artillery from Hoa Luat Nam station also fired heavily. Judging from the unequal battle between us and the enemy, regiment commander Phung Duy Phien arranged Battalion 436 to stay on the spot to coordinate with the army and people to fight back the enemy, and at the same time decided to dispatch Battalion 724 (at that time). This group is stationed in Uan Ao village, opposite Xuan Bo village) and crossed the river to provide additional reinforcements. Due to the reasonable arrangement of forces, when the enemy attacked Xuan Bo, they immediately encountered fierce resistance from us. Our troops, with their cunning and courageous fighting style, sometimes tricked the enemy into entering the battlefield and then organized a counterattack; When we knocked them out into the field and then used lethal firepower, we continuously broke up many enemy attacks. The battle took place very fiercely. After half a day, we switched from defensive to offensive. Our soldiers rushed in and fought hand-to-hand with the enemy using bayonets and rifle butts. The fighting lasted until dusk and gradually moved from Xuan Bo village to the fields. Faced with the fierce attack of our forces, the enemy had to gradually retreat. On the verge of victory, our army chased and fought the enemy to the end. As a result, after 13 hours, with cunning, courage and the spirit of determination to win, the 18th Regiment along with local soldiers completely broke up the attack with an extremely sinister plot. of the French colonialists, causing their plans to fail miserably. From the fierce confrontation with the enemy, many examples of heroic fighting and sacrifice emerged. Comrade Lam Uy, Platoon Leader of Company 2, struggled fiercely with the enemy. After his gun broke, he used a bayonet to stab and kill dozens of French soldiers. With his heart broken, he continued to grapple with the French officer, knocking him down into the river. He sacrificed himself on the Kien Giang river. Father and son, old soldier Duong Ne, rowed a boat like a shuttle carrying soldiers across the river amid a hail of enemy bullets. Soldiers' mothers and women braved dangers, providing meals for soldiers and taking care of wounded soldiers. All contributed to a glorious victory: the victory of Xuan Bo. After the Xuan Bo victory, the collective officers and soldiers of Division 325 were awarded the title of Hero of the People's Armed Forces by the National Assembly and the Government. The 18th Regiment was awarded the Second Class Military Merit Medal. And, to recognize the great merits and heroic sacrifice of comrade Lam Uy, the State posthumously awarded him the title of Hero of the People's Armed Forces. In 1992, the Ministry of Culture and Information signed a Decision to classify Xuan Bo Victory as a historical relic.

Thay's rampart (Dao Duy Tu rampart)

Thay accumulation site, also known as Dao Duy Tu ramparts, is a system of ramparts formed during the Trinh-Nguyen war (1627-1672) in Quang Binh with Truong Duc ramparts in Hien Ninh, Quang district. Ninh, Dau Mau ramparts, Nhat Le ramparts in Dong Hoi city, are ranked as National according to Decision No. 97/Decision dated January 21, 1992 of the Ministry of Culture and Information. (now the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism). Luy Thay also has many other names such as Nhat Le, Dong Hoi, Truong Duc... in Quang Binh province today. King Thieu Tri later called the rampart system the place 'Dinh Bac great wall' to remember his ancestors for maintaining the South. Luy Thay is the name given by the people of Dang Trong to pay tribute to the famous man Dao Duy Tu as a military and political master. This project was started in 1630 after winning the battle with the Trinh army on the banks of the Nhat Le River in 1627. The project aimed to protect and strengthen Dang Trong from the attacks of Lord Trinh in Dang Outside. Next, in 1631, Lord Nguyen continued to send Dao Duy Tu and Nguyen Huu Dat to build Dau Mau ramparts and Nhat Le ramparts (both of these ramparts are collectively called Tran Ninh ramparts). In 1634, Lord Nguyen again built a 7km long Truong Sa rampart to close the Bao Ninh sand cave area. Thus, in more than 3 years, Lord Nguyen completed a system of fortifications nearly 34 km long. This is a continuous rampart system consisting of many floors, layers, and lines and is collectively called Thay rampart. Dai Nam Thuc Luc Tien Bien records: Truong Duc Citadel was built in the style of Hui, so it is also called Luy Hoi Van. Accordingly, the outside is surrounded by a wall, inside are barracks, battle fortifications, and treasures arranged in a Di-shaped pattern closely connected with the outer ramparts. The rampart is 2,500 meters long, one and a half meters wide, and 1 meter high (about 4 meters). Luy Truong Duc is an architectural work that demonstrates the military talent of Dao Duy Tu. In 1648, after failing to attack the Truong Duc ramparts, the Trinh army turned to attack the Vo Xa area and achieved victory. However, when they gained a foothold, they were blocked and attacked by Luu Don's army at Thap Dinh (now still Dinh Muoi commune, Quang Ninh district) and pushed into the Vo Xa swamp, which was a natural swamp along the road. Thien Ly from Quang Binh to Thuan Hoa. Trinh's army got bogged down here. And in the dilemma of not having support from the waterway, they were then forced to withdraw their troops to the North. Because of this event, to this day, people continue to sing the song: "The first is afraid of Luy Thay, the second is afraid of Vo Xa swamp". Two hundred years later, when King Thieu Tri made a pilgrimage through the rampart system, Thay was moved by this majestic rampart system and gave it the name "Dinh Bac Truong Thanh" to remember his ancestors for maintaining the South. Through time and war bombs, the Thay citadel was almost completely damaged. By 1994, the citadel was restored to its original state and recognized by the State as a national monument. Today, Luy Thay still has clear traces on Quach Xuan Ky street and the west of Phu Hai ward, in Dong Hoi city, Quang Binh province and has become a hundred-year mark reminding generations of the time of the Trinh dynasty - Nguyen divided the conflict in Vietnamese history.

Her mother's name is associated with historical events in the early days of fighting against the Americans of the army and people of Quang Binh in particular and the whole country in general. It is a vivid and heroic symbol of our nation's determination to defeat the American enemy, to protect national sovereignty. Mother Suot is a typical woman of the land of "two good people", as beloved Uncle Ho praised, "Quang Binh is good at fighting and good at production". Through long years of fighting against the French colonialists and coming to victory. In 1954, not long after peace was restored, the empire started a destructive war. Setting up the Gulf of Tonkin incident, in 1964, the US imperialists began to raid the North, and the Dong Hoi - Quang Binh area was considered by them to be a hotbed, the front line of a large rear, so they focused on raiding. with the most fierce and intense level with the intention of destroying and leveling, turning this place back to the Stone Age. Mother Nguyen Thi Suot was born in Van Chai hamlet, Phu My village (now My Canh hamlet, Bao Ninh commune, Dong Hoi town). Since childhood, I had to go live to take care of myself. My mother's life has been from one rich house to another, working as a hired laborer all year long, all month long, but still miserable. The August Revolution successfully cut off the chains of slavery, liberated the homeland, the nation and liberated her own life. But before we could rejoice, the French colonialists invaded our country again and like the rest of the country, my mother had to continue her miserable and bitter life. When the American invaders waged war to destroy the North, her mother was now 60 years old, but following the call of the revolution, Uncle Ho and the local Party Committee, she understood the miserable life of slavery and the loss of her country. melted as well as imbued with love for the homeland and hatred for the American invaders who destroyed the villages. Mother Suot volunteered to take on a seemingly normal, simple but extremely dangerous job: Carrying a ferry across the Nhat Le River at that time was one of the three important tasks of the 3-room team: prevention and treatment. fire, first aid, transport of wounded soldiers and transportation. Go back in time to the early days of anti-Americanism. That day was Sunday, February 7, 1965 (ie the 6th day of the Lunar New Year), the US Air Force massively attacked and bombarded Dong Hoi town and surrounding areas (they mobilized 160 aircraft). modern jet). Dong Hoi town seemed to be shaking in the smoke and fire of enemy bombs. On the Nhat Le River, black columns of water were thrown up violently by bombs and bullets. Mother Nguyen Thi Suot still proudly held the oar to carry soldiers across the river, transporting ammunition from the shore to our warships to fight back against the enemy. Mother's ferry trips are also a communication line between Dong Hoi town and Bao Ninh. Under the rain of bombs and bullets from the enemy, my mother and the ferry ferried officers, soldiers, and people back and forth between shores. There is no more beautiful image than a mother who is over 60 years old and still defies danger, proudly holding her head high in the face of a series of bombs and bombs that the US always controls and prevents. Those who passed by her mother's boat during those heated hours could not help but admire the courage and courage of a mother who turned hatred into extraordinary actions. And until now, those who directly fought and witnessed the morning of February 7, 1965 still cannot explain and understand why in the midst of Nhat Le river, boiling water and burning bullets, Mother Suot still heroically rushed forward and fought. Completed the mission so excellently: supplying ammunition to our navy to fight back American planes, bringing wounded soldiers to shore, transporting soldiers to the river. Mother Suot's victory and many other silent victories of Dong Hoi's army and people created a resounding miracle in just two days, February 7 and 8, 1965, Dong Hoi's army and people shot down 14 American planes. ; From February 14 to April 28, 1965 - 5 American warships were sunk and set on fire in Nhat Le Sea - opening the brilliant victory of our army and people. After that fierce battle, Suot's mother boat continued to transport officers and soldiers across the river during the days of fighting against the Americans. With her mother's achievements, on January 1, 1967, mother Nguyen Thi Suot was awarded the title of Labor Hero in the resistance war against the US and to save the country by our Party and State. The war became more and more fierce, with painful losses in the South, the US imperialists increased their attacks on the North and Dong Hoi continued to suffer from bombs and bullets. On October 11, 1968, while on duty, Suot's mother heroically died in an enemy bomb attack. Such a vivid picture of revolutionary heroism. That image has been known by the people of Quang Binh and the whole country as a typical example of a heroic Vietnamese mother. The old Mother Cheo wharf became a typical historical relic in Quang Binh during the anti-American period with a loving and respectful name: Mother Suot wharf. Mother Suot wharf relic is located in Trung Binh village, Bao Ninh commune (right bank) and near Dong Hoi fish market (left bank of Nhat Le river).

Than Dinh Mountain.

Than Dinh Mountain is in Rao Da village, Truong Xuan commune, Quang Ninh district, Quang Binh province. This mountain is also called Bat Nghia Son. About 25km southwest of Dong Hoi City and 3km east of the Ho Chi Minh Highway, this mountain holds many legends about a spiritual realm, once considered a "place of many Buddhas" by ancient people. On the mountain there are many relics of a famous pagoda, related to the story of King Qianlong's bronze bell brought to the pagoda for his past life... From a distance, the mountain looks like a saddle. The mountain is located at an altitude of 405m above sea level and it takes about 40 minutes to climb through 1260 stone steps to reach Non Pagoda (also known as Kim Phong). The pagoda was built in 1701. There exists a stone stele established during the 11th Minh Mang Dynasty (1830) recording about the pagoda. In front of the pagoda there is a well of clear, cool, never-drying water called Fairy well. The well is located right in the middle of four dry rocks, yet it is unknown where the water comes from to keep the well full even in the hottest and driest years. Nowadays, many people from all over the world come to visit the scene of Than Dinh. They do not forget to bring water bottles to take some water from the Fairy well to use, considering it as the quintessential water source from a fairyland with many wishes. Standing on the top of Than Dinh mountain, listening to the howling wind, heard the legend that: Master An Kha practiced at this pagoda (Kim Phong pagoda) since 1694 (Le Huy Tong's reign, Chinh Hoa era, corresponding to the Khang Hy dynasty next door). China), he is a virtuous and talented person, loved by Buddhist monks and nuns in the area. Before passing away, he cut off a little finger and put it in a box to leave for the temple. Strangely enough, the fresh finger never rots. Later, he was reincarnated into a family in China and reincarnated as King Qianlong (1736-1796) (legend has it that King Qianlong was also missing a little finger). King Qianlong had a premonition that in his past life he had a relationship with the pagoda on Than Dinh mountain in Dai Viet, so he sent a bell as a gift, with the words "Thanh Dinh chung" engraved on it. The boat carrying the bell reached the mouth of the Nhat Le River and was unfortunately submerged by a storm. Later, a fisherman from Bo Trach district named Dang Van Tien, while casting his net, caught a bell and brought it to Non pagoda on Than Dinh mountain. I don't know if the legend about the bronze bell given by King Qianlong is true or not. Some people believe that currently the bell of Non Pagoda on Than Dinh Mountain is hanging at Pho Minh Pagoda (in Dong Hoi City). The bell of Pho Minh Pagoda is now real, but no one has confirmed whether it is related to the above legend or not. The entire top of Than Dinh mountain is made up of low, dark gray limestone ranges, bulging like small mountain ranges rising from a large mountain peak, looking very strange. Is that why ancient people used to call Than Dinh Pagoda by another name, Non Pagoda? Than Dinh Mountain has three peaks. Stacked stones remind us that this is an official wearing a dragon-winged hat reading literature. That's an eagle spreading its wings, that's a tiger baring its fangs. The ancient Than Dinh Pagoda now has only mossy, crumbling stone walls left, filled with trees, in the middle of a flat land full of ancient trees. A few small temples located alone on the northern edge of the trees are still quite intact. The scenery of Than Dinh reminds us so much of our ancestors. Than Dinh Mountain has now become an attractive ecological and spiritual tourist destination for tourists. Those who sincerely come to offer incense and drink water from the magic well will have good luck, avoid illness, and have prosperous business all year long.

Tuong Son communal house

Tuong Son Communal House is located right in the center of Quang Long commune, on a relatively high ground, in front of the Mai River (Kenh Kia River) flowing through, then leaning against the sand slope as if embracing Tuong Son village. The history of village communal house construction is associated with the history of construction and development along with the political and social changes that took place in the lands of Quang Long and Quang Trach (feudal time in Dai Dan commune, Thuan Bai district). The communal house was built in the year of Canh Ngo (1750), more than 250 years ago during the reign of King Canh Hung XI. Tuong Son Communal House was initially built to worship and recognize the ancestors who publicly founded Dai Dan village and those who were assigned by the king to "protect the nation and protect the people", later worshiping loyal and patriotic gods. Through the memories of many generations of villagers, Tuong Son communal house was one of the largest communal houses in Quang Binh at that time. The communal house was built and decorated quite elaborately. The communal house includes the courtyard, vestibule and back porch. The communal house yard and vestibule are places where festivals take place and where entertainment, meetings, ceremonies, meetings, and processions of the village take place. The rear communal house is a place to worship the Thanh Hoang and gods who have contributed to the homeland. Tuong Son communal house is a combination of government and theocracy. After the failed suppression of the Can Vuong movement in Quang Trach district (1888), the French colonialists frantically sought revenge. They took advantage of the enmity between pagans and incited Vietnamese traitors masquerading as religion to burn down the village communal house. Although at this time there are only vestiges of the communal house left, the image of the village communal house is still imprinted in the memories of every citizen. With that enthusiasm, in the spring of Nham Ty (1912), the village communal house was started to rebuild on the old communal house foundation according to the architecture of the Nguyen Dynasty. After a year of working together and contributing to the village community, in the spring of the year Quy Suu (1913), the village communal house was completed. In terms of structure, the second rebuilt communal house is basically the same but more massive and perfect. In particular, the exterior perspective decoration as well as the detailed lines and patterns, engraved images of battle elephants engraved on the screen all clearly demonstrate the martial spirit of Tuong Son land. As for the rear communal house, in addition to worshiping the village's Thanh Hoang, it also worships King Quang Trung and famous general Nguyen Dung in the main area, in accordance with the wishes of the people. In 1968, due to the nature of the increasingly fierce war of sabotage by the US imperialists, the communal house was again destroyed by a bomb. It was not until 1993 that the Party Committee and people of Quang Long restored the 3-room back communal house, built of stone, brick, cement, and tiled roof to its current state. However, that work only stopped at restoring the place of worship, not recreating the artistic architecture of the old communal house. Tuong Son Communal House is a historical-cultural work, a convergence of fine traditional cultural activities of the land of Quang Long and a place for transmitting cultural values ​​between generations. The village customs and festivals taking place at the Communal House all focus on reflecting the concepts of worship and expressing the ideology of village farmers in honoring the gods. During the years of campaigning to establish local Party cells, Tuong Son Communal House was the place where communist soldiers traveled and held secret meetings to exchange and propagate the Party's policies and guidelines. During the period leading up to the August Revolution, the village communal house was also the place where rallies of the Viet Minh front took place calling on the masses to rise up to respond to the revolutionary cause of national liberation. On the night of August 19, 1945, at the village communal house, the Commune Uprising Campaign and Steering Committee was established. Here on August 23, 1945, the chief of staff handed over seals and books to the Viet Minh. Peace was restored (1954), Tuong Son Communal House was the administrative headquarters for a long time of the Quang Long Commune Committee. During the resistance war against America to save the country, to ensure the support of human and material resources for the southern front line. Tuong Son Communal House became a gathering place and stopping place for army units, a center for receiving goods and weapons. In addition, the communal house is also a place to store military equipment of company 365, artillery 37, and Quang Trach Hospital is also stationed here. When they discovered the hiding places, the US imperialists focused on fiercely raiding the land of Quang Long, at which time the communal house was destroyed. But with the spirit of all for the front line, all for victory, the Party Committee and people of Quang Long used the remaining wood to make air defense tunnels, ambulance tunnels and most of it was used to build Kenh Kia bridge for vehicles to pass through. . It can be said that during the years full of difficulties, hardships, and sacrifices against the destructive war of American imperialism, Tuong Son communal house contributed to accelerating the cause of national unification. With its historical values, in 2003, Tuong Son communal house was recognized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism as a national historical relic.

At the end of the 19th century, Vietnam's feudal society became more and more chaotic, with internal conflicts in Cochinchina and internal jealousy, and French colonialism trying to encroach on Cochinchina. Faced with the power of colonialism with capitalist production methods, the Nguyen feudal court continuously had to sign surrender treaties with France. After the Nguyen feudal court signed treaties to sell the country, all over our country from Tonkin, Central and Cochinchina, the resistance movement against the French emerged strongly, especially when King Ham Nghi issued a decree.

However, he still refused to accept the new reign name of King Dong Khanh, but only took the reign name of King Ham Nghi. In early 1891, Mr. Le Truc had to reconcile with France to protect the lives of innocent people. The Can Vuong Quang Binh movement ended.

Thousands of soldiers sacrificed their lives here, but their remains have not yet been retrieved because there was too much smoke, fire, and bombs. Their blood and bones have mixed into the rubble and rubble. That's why today at the center of the monument, people built a memorial to form a common grave for thousands of soldiers who fell during these fierce days and nights.
