Victory Relic of Deo Nong - Duong Lieu Pass
The Victory Relic of Deo Nong - Duong Lieu is a typical red address of Gia Lai province, marking one of the resounding victories of the army and people of Zone 5 in the resistance war against the US to save the country. The battle took place on the night of February 6 and 7, 1965 (January 5, At Ty year) in the area now belonging to Binh Duong commune, Gia Lai province, becoming a brilliant milestone in the history of the revolutionary struggle of the army and people of the Central region. At that time, the US army and the Saigon government built a solid defense system at Duong Lieu and Deo Nong, with many posts, M-113 armored vehicles, artillery and support aircraft to control strategic traffic routes and prevent the revolutionary movement. Faced with that situation, under the direction of the Regional Party Committee of Region 5, the Command of Military Region 5 and the Provincial Party Committee, Regiment 2, Division 3 of the Golden Star coordinated closely with the local armed forces and people to organize a surprise attack on Duong Lieu station, then ambushed on the Deo Nong line, defeating the enemy forces that came to the rescue. The victory achieved great results when eliminating more than 700 enemies from combat, shooting down and destroying 4 aircraft, destroying 10 M-113 armored vehicles, seizing 2 M-113 vehicles and many weapons and military equipment. This is one of the typical battles demonstrating the art of coordinated combat, the ability to ambush and destroy modern mechanized forces of the liberation army. The victory of Deo Nong - Duong Lieu dealt a heavy blow to the US "Special War" strategy on the battlefield of Zone 5, contributing to creating new momentum for the revolutionary struggle movement in the Central region. At the same time, the victory affirmed the outstanding maturity of the main force and the strength of solidarity between the army and the people in the resistance war for national independence. Today, the Deo Nong - Duong Lieu Victory relic is not only a place to commemorate heroic martyrs who sacrificed for the Fatherland, but also a destination for educating revolutionary traditions, contributing to fostering patriotism, national pride and the will to protect the homeland for today and future generations.

Ong Ich Duong memorial relic
The Ong Ich Duong memorial relic is associated with the life and sacrifice of Ong Ich Duong (1890–1908), a son of Phong Le village, now in Hoa Tho Tay ward, Da Nang city. He is the grandson of Mr. Ich Khiem and was born into a family with a patriotic tradition. He was soon famous for being chivalrous, good at literature and martial arts, and always on the side of the poor people. In 1908, responding to the anti-tax collection movement in Central Vietnam, Mr. Ich Duong led the people of Hoa Vang to participate in the fight against oppression. After the uprising failed, he was captured by the French colonialists and beheaded at Tuy Loan market when he was only 18 years old. Before his death, his courageous spirit and indomitable spirit became a symbol of patriotism and the will to fight for national independence. Mr. Ich Duong's sacrifice deeply moved the local people. People built a shrine right at the place where he died to commemorate the merits and spirit of this patriotic scholar. Over time, the relic area continues to be preserved and embellished with a memorial stele next to the historic banyan tree - a witness associated with the 1908 event. Today, Ong Ich Duong Memorial Monument is a red address that educates patriotic traditions and the spirit of revolutionary struggle for generations, and is also a destination to help tourists learn about the anti-tax collection movement in Central Vietnam and the history of the struggle of Da Nang people in the early twentieth century.

Revolutionary base area of Hoa Vang District Party Committee
Hoa Vang District Party Committee's revolutionary base is located in the triangle area of Phu Tuc - O Ray - Tong Coi mountains, in Hoa Vang ward. With rugged mountainous terrain, this place was once an important base for revolutionary forces in the two resistance wars against the French colonialists and the American imperialists. From the years 1947–1949, the Dong Xanh - Dong Nghe area was chosen as the location for the leadership of the Hoa Vang District Party Committee. By 1955, the Quang Da Provincial Party Committee built the Hoa Vang West wing revolutionary base (codename B1), turning this place into the center for directing the revolutionary movement of the western and northwestern regions. During this time, Da Nang Stone and Non Nuoc Stone became sacred symbols of patriotism and the will to fight resiliently. Since 1960, the triangle area of Phu Tuc - O Ray - Tong Coi continued to be chosen as the resistance base of the Hoa Vang District Party Committee. This is the workplace, direction and activity of many district leaders, and is also the venue for conferences, Party congresses, military and political training for revolutionary forces during the years of resistance against the US. The rugged mountainous terrain has contributed to shielding and protecting the headquarters against many enemy raids. During the two resistance wars, Hoa Vang District Party Committee Revolutionary Base played the role of an important leadership, command and rear base of the local revolutionary movement, associated with many historical events and activities of leading officials at the provincial, regional and district levels. To preserve those historical values, the relic site has been invested in building exhibition houses, memorial stele and other items for sightseeing. Today, this place has become a red address for educating patriotic traditions, commemorating previous generations of revolutionaries and a destination to help tourists learn about the history of the heroic struggle of Hoa Vang's army and people in the cause of national liberation.

Hai Van Quan
Hai Van Quan is a defensive military project built in 1826, during the reign of King Minh Mang. The relic is located on top of Hai Van Pass at an altitude of about 496 m above sea level, at the border between Hue city and Da Nang city. This is a strategic location on the North - South traffic route, and is also the gateway to protect the capital Hue from the south. Since the time of the Nguyen Lords, Hai Van Pass has been considered a dangerous land, playing an important military and defensive role. When the Nguyen Dynasty chose Hue as its capital, this place was considered the "throat" of the country. Therefore, King Minh Mang built Hai Van Quan to control the Thien Ly road and strengthen the protection of the capital. The project includes two large city gates built of brick and stone in a rolling arch architecture. The gate facing Da Nang is engraved with three words "Hai Van Pass", while the gate facing Hue is engraved with six words "The most majestic pass in the world" - a praise for the majestic beauty and critical position of Hai Van Pass. Surrounding the gate is a solid wall system with military items such as garrisons, weapons warehouses and observation positions. Through many historical upheavals, especially during the French colonial period and the war, Hai Van Quan was converted into a military base, many original architectural items were destroyed or degraded. By 2017, the monument was ranked as a National Monument, and from 2021, Hue and Da Nang have coordinated to implement a restoration project, restoring important items, contributing to restoring the original appearance of the building. Today, Hai Van Quan is not only a historical relic of special value but also a famous stop on the Hai Van pass road. From here, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of the mountains, the sea and one of the most beautiful coastal roads in Vietnam. With unique historical, architectural and landscape values, Hai Van Quan is a destination not to be missed in the journey to explore the Central region. According to: Vietnam News Agency
