Ho Lang Base historical site
Ho Lang Base historical site. Ho Lang Base historical site is located in Tan Dong Hiep ward, Ho Chi Minh City. This was an important revolutionary base in the two resistance wars against the French colonialists and the American imperialists, associated with the heroic fighting tradition of the army and people of Di An region. Ho Lang has hilly terrain, surrounded by streams and dense forests, creating a strategic location favorable for building revolutionary bases. From here you can observe a large area, especially the Bien Hoa military airport area and important traffic routes. Thanks to that advantage, Ho Lang became the place to stand, command and organize many activities of revolutionary forces during the resistance period. During the resistance war against the US, Ho Lang was the place where many typical battles of local guerrilla forces took place. In 1966, Tan Hiep's army and people repeatedly repelled raids by American troops, destroying many enemy forces and confiscating many weapons. By 1971, the Di An District Party Committee continued to base itself in Ho Lang to lead the revolutionary movement. The protection and support of local people and the secret signal system have contributed to the safety of cadres and revolutionary forces operating. Currently, the relic still retains some vestiges such as bunkers, fighting pits and the natural terrain of the base. This is a vivid testament to the art of people's war, the spirit of solidarity and the resilient will of the army and local people in the struggle for national liberation.

This is a valuable historical and cultural relic, as well as a special communal house in the South dedicated to Phan Thanh Gian - the first doctor of Cochinchina and a typical cultural celebrity, poet, and historian of Vietnam. Phan Thanh Gian was born in 1796 and worked as a mandarin under three dynasties of Kings Minh Mang, Thieu Tri and Tu Duc. He held many important positions in the royal court and was sent many times as ambassador to China, Indonesia, Singapore, France and Spain. He was also a participant in diplomatic activities to protect the country's sovereignty and interests in the turbulent historical context of the 19th century. After three provinces in the Western region of Cochinchina fell into the hands of the French colonialists in 1867, Phan Thanh Gian chose to commit suicide to express his loyalty, patriotism and sense of responsibility before the country's destiny. In 1924, King Khai Dinh granted him the title of deity and allowed local people to worship at Tuong Binh Hiep communal house. Today, Tuong Binh Hiep communal house is not only a place for people's religious activities but also a place to preserve and commemorate the merits of Phan Thanh Gian.
