Temple of Female Doctor Nguyen Thi Due
Temple of Female Doctor Nguyen Thi Due - A place to honor the first female doctor in the history of Vietnamese academics. The Temple of Female Doctor Nguyen Thi Due is located at the foot of Phuong Hoang Mountain, Chu Van An ward, Hai Phong city. This is a historical-cultural relic associated with the life of Nguyen Thi Due (1574–1654), who is considered the first female doctorate in the history of Vietnamese academics. Born in Kiet Dac village, she was famous for being intelligent and eager to learn from a young age. Because women in feudal times were not allowed to take the exam, she disguised herself as a man to participate in the exam in 1594 and passed the PhD. With her talent and virtue, she was highly utilized by both the Mac dynasty and the Le - Trinh dynasty, making many contributions to training talented people, encouraging learning and developing education. The temple and mausoleum are a place to commemorate and honor an outstanding woman who overcame the prejudices of her time to affirm her intelligence and bravery. Every year, on the 8th day of the 11th lunar month, the locality holds an incense offering ceremony to pay tribute to her contributions and promote the tradition of studiousness and respect for teachers.

Monument Park - Temple of Heroic Martyr Vo Thi Sau
The historical relic site of Monument Park and Temple of Heroic Martyr Vo Thi Sau is located in Dat Do district, Ba Ria - Vung Tau province, now Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as Dat Do Police Subdivision during the war. Ms. Vo Thi Sau was born in 1933 in Phuoc Tho commune. At the age of 14, she joined the Dat Do Assault Police team, bravely performed reconnaissance missions and participated in many dangerous battles, notably throwing grenades to disperse the enemy's attack at Dat Do market in 1948. In early 1950, due to a grenade falling apart in another attack, she fell into the hands of the enemy. Even though she endured many brutal tortures in prisons, she still maintained her revolutionary spirit. In April 1951, the French colonialists sentenced her to death when she was underage and secretly took her to Con Dao. At dawn on January 23, 1952, she was taken to the shooting range. She resolutely refused to be blindfolded, sang the song Tien Quan Ca and bravely sacrificed herself at the age of 19. To remember the gratitude, in the period 1980–1986, the locality built Monument Park with a 6m high bronze statue made by sculptor Tran Thanh Thanh. By 2001–2003, the 960 m² Temple continued to be completed right behind the monument to store documents and welcome visitors. Ms. Vo Thi Sau was posthumously awarded the title Hero of the People's Armed Forces in 1993. According to: Information portal of Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism

Thuong Duc Victory Memorial Area is located in Dai Lanh commune, Da Nang city, which marks the resounding Thuong Duc victory on August 7, 1974 - one of the battles of strategic significance in the resistance war against the US to save the country. In 1974, Thuong Duc was a fortified military base of the Saigon government, known as the "steel door" protecting the west of Da Nang. After 10 days of fierce fighting, our army and people took control of the base on August 7, 1974, opening up an important defense line of the enemy. The victory not only created a turning point on the Quang Nam battlefield but also made an important contribution to the Politburo and the Central Military Commission planning strategies, moving towards the 1975 Spring General Offensive and Uprising, completely liberating the South and reunifying the country. To commemorate the heroic martyrs who sacrificed their lives, the Thuong Duc Victory Memorial Area was invested and built on a spacious scale on the basis of the old Thuong Duc district capital.

Vinh Trinh massacre relic site
Vinh Trinh massacre relic site - Historical evidence of war crimes. The Vinh Trinh massacre relic site is located in Thu Bon commune, Da Nang city, which marks one of the most painful massacres in Quang Nam in the early period after the 1954 Geneva Agreement. On the night of January 21, 1955 (ie the night of the 29th and the 30th day of the At Goat Lunar New Year), the US - Diem government brutally murdered 38 officers, soldiers and patriots at Vinh Trinh Dam to suppress the revolutionary movement. The victims were tortured, tied with stones and then drowned in the lake to destroy their evidence. This crime shocked domestic and international public opinion, becoming a symbol of the brutality of the US-Diem regime as well as the indomitable spirit of patriots. After the country's reunification, Vinh Trinh Memorial was built right near the place where the massacre occurred. The work stands out with a statue of a proud soldier, a lake with 38 lotus flowers symbolizing 38 victims, in which an unopened lotus bud commemorates the pregnant woman who died. The solemn space between the pine hill and the lake is both a place to pay tribute to fallen heroes and contribute to educating patriotic traditions for today's generations. With special historical values, the Vinh Trinh Massacre Site has been ranked a National Historical Monument by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism according to Decision No. 309/QD-BVHTTDL dated January 26, 2011. Today, this place is a "red address" that attracts many groups of visitors, students and tourists to offer incense, learn about history and commemorate those who sacrificed for the nation's independence and freedom.
