By 2019, Ca Mau province implemented a project to renovate, embellish and upgrade the entire relic site with 13 items, including the main temple, green campus, guest house, kitchen, warehouse and temple gate. The project will be completed and put into use in 2022, becoming an important cultural and religious activity spot for local people. Every year, on the 10th day of the third lunar month, the Hung King's death anniversary is solemnly held at the temple with the participation of authorities, organizations and a large number of people inside and outside the province.

E1 Hill
E1 Hill – Fierce evidence of the Dien Bien Phu Campaign Hill E1 is located in the northeast of Muong Thanh center, Dien Bien Phu city, Dien Bien province. During the Dien Bien Phu Campaign in 1954, this was an important base in the Dominique base cluster of the French army, with the task of protecting Muong Thanh center and Dien Bien airport. After our troops captured E1, this high point was used as an artillery observation post, mountain artillery battlefield and command post to control enemy targets. Due to its strategic location, E1 suffered thousands of artillery, bombs and tank fire from the French army for 36 days and nights. The terrain was plowed and the trees were completely destroyed, causing this place to be called "death hill" by the soldiers. Despite fighting in extremely fierce conditions, our units still stubbornly held the position, maintained the battlefield, contributed to destroying enemy firepower and supported the attacks into the center of the Muong Thanh stronghold group. E1 Hill is a testament to the brave fighting spirit of the Vietnamese army, contributing to the historic victory of the Dien Bien Phu Campaign on May 7, 1954. Today, E1 hill is one of the attractions in the Dien Bien Phu Battlefield Relics Complex, helping tourists and today's generations better understand the fierceness of the battlefield as well as the resilient fighting spirit of the Vietnamese army and people in the "illustrious victory on five continents, shaking the earth".

Vi Xuyen Front
Vi Xuyen Front - An immortal epic at the forefront of the Fatherland After the war to protect the northern border in 1979, the Vi Xuyen area continued to be a hot spot with hundreds of fierce battles lasting nearly a decade. From 1984 to 1989, the Vietnamese army and people stubbornly held on to strategic high points such as 468, 685, 772, 1100, 1509, Doi Dai, Co Ich... determined to maintain every inch of the sacred land of the Fatherland. The mountains in Vi Xuyen have suffered millions of artillery shells, many high points were flattened, and the terrain deformed after intense battles. That fierceness caused this place to be called by veterans with the haunting name: "Lime Kiln of the Century". More than 4,000 officers and soldiers have heroically sacrificed their lives, thousands of others were injured or forever lying in the heart of the rocky mountain, whose remains have not yet been found. The blood of the soldiers has mixed with the motherland, writing an immortal epic about patriotism and the will to protect border sovereignty. High score 468 – Symbol of the will to keep the land In the system of relics of the Vi Xuyen Front, High Point 468 is one of the most sacred places. This was once a strategic location, where many fierce battles took place between our troops and the enemy. Today, on top of 468, the Temple of Martyrs of the Vi Xuyen Front and the Memorial House of Gratitude to the Martyrs have been built, becoming a place for comrades, relatives and tourists to offer incense to commemorate those who have fallen. Standing on high point 468, looking out over the rolling mountains, it is hard for anyone to imagine that this place was once the fiercest battlefield of the war to protect the northern border. Each incense stick lit is not only a tribute to those who have sacrificed but also reminds today's generations of the value of peace that is exchanged for blood and bones. Vi Xuyen National Martyrs Cemetery - The resting place of immortal soldiers About 18 km from Ha Giang city, Vi Xuyen National Martyrs Cemetery is the resting place of 1,863 martyrs and a mass grave, including more than 1,600 martyrs who died in the war to protect the Northern border.

Thousands of white tombstones are lined up in neat rows like comrades still standing side by side guarding the border. Every year, on July 12 - the death anniversary of Division 356, the War Invalids and Martyrs Day on July 27, the Vietnam People's Army's Founding Day on December 22 and other major holidays of the country, tens of thousands of veterans, relatives of martyrs and tourists from all over the country return here to offer incense and commemorate those who are forever in their twenties.

Monument to Youth Volunteers - Happiness Road
Monument to Youth Volunteers - An eternal symbol on the Path to Happiness The Youth Volunteer Monument is located on the Happiness Road, in the Dong Van Stone Plateau area, Tuyen Quang province (formerly in Ha Giang province). This is a memorial to the young volunteers and people of all ethnic groups who devoted their youth, sweat and blood to open the legendary route through the northernmost rocky mountains of the Fatherland. The Road of Happiness was started on September 10, 1959 and completed in 1965, with a length of about 185 km, connecting Ha Giang city with Quan Ba, Yen Minh, Dong Van and Meo Vac. To complete the project, nearly 1,000 local workers and more than 1,000 young volunteers from 16 ethnic groups in 8 provinces worked continuously for more than 5 years in extremely arduous conditions. With only rudimentary tools such as hoes, shovels, crowbars and sledgehammers, they excavated and transported more than 3 million cubic meters of soil and rock, creating the first route connecting the rocky plateau with the lowlands. Particularly when crossing Ma Pi Leng pass, the force paving the way had to hang on a steep cliff for 11 months to drill rocks and open every meter of the road. During the construction process, 14 young volunteers heroically sacrificed their lives, leaving an indelible mark in the history of building the country. In that pioneering epic, there was an important contribution from more than 200 young volunteers in Cao Bang province. They participated in the construction of many important roads such as Pac Sum, Trang Kim, Pho Bang, Lung Cam, Xa Phin and many other roads on the rocky plateau. One of Cao Bang's outstanding children who sacrificed on the construction site was martyr Trieu Van Thoong, contributing to enhancing the tradition of fighting and dedication of the homeland's youth. To remember the contributions of those who paved the way, in 2017, the Youth Volunteer Monument Cluster was built right next to the Happiness Road. The work is made of natural stone, 16 m high including the statue's pedestal. The main cluster of statues includes five images of young volunteers with a proud and strong posture, demonstrating their resilient will and spirit of solidarity to overcome all difficulties. Behind are three bas-reliefs recreating the journey from the first days to the rocky area, the process of breaking the mountain to open the way to the moment the historic route was completed. Today, the Youth Volunteer Monument is not only a stop on the journey to explore the Dong Van Karst Plateau UNESCO Global Geopark but also a "red address" to educate generations about revolutionary traditions. Amidst the majestic scenery of the mountains and forests, the monument reminds each visitor of the noble sacrifices of the young volunteers who turned the seemingly impossible into reality. This is a symbol of patriotism, the will to overcome difficulties and the desire to contribute, contributing to creating the Road to Happiness - the pride of the northernmost region of Vietnam.

Complete liberation of the People of 18 Betel Garden Villages. After defeating Chi Hoa Fort, the French colonialists built a 3-storey wooden house here to use as a military post. When Tran Tu Ca took office as Governor of the Palace, he used the Station as the Palace of Binh Long district. Originally a cunning drunkard of the French colonialists, Tran Tu Ca was led by a group led by Mr. Phan Van Hon (Quan Hon) and Nguyen Van Qua (Chanh Lanh Binh) of nearly 1,000 insurgents who came to burn the District Palace, captured and head cut off in the middle of the market. That was February 8, 1885, At Dau Tet. Afterwards, Hoc Mon District Palace was rebuilt with a blue stone foundation, brick walls, and a defense system from the upper floors to the fence. The architecture is similar to the Military Fort, so the locals call it Hoc Mon Fort. Tran took over from Tran Tu Ca as Governor of Ngon district, moving to Tra District and then Tho District. This was a long period of time when the people of the Hoc Mon region suffered from many cruel and despicable scenes from the French colonialists and their oligarchic henchmen mentioned above. With the indomitable tradition of Hoc Mon people. On June 4, 1930, around 6 a.m. in front of the District Palace, hundreds of Hoc Mon people protested demanding "abolition of poll tax, reduction of license and market taxes, and granting land to poor farmers." Tra District invited the leaders into the Palace to negotiate, but they cunningly arrested them, including Mr. Le Van Uoi (Secretary of Tan Thoi Nhi Commune), who was the leader of the protest. People were undaunted and fiercely demanded that Tea District release those detained. The protest group became more and more crowded, the fighting spirit spread somewhat, causing Tra District to give in. On the one hand, they released the detained people, on the other hand, they called the officials in Saigon for help. 2 hours later, the struggle was led by two men, Blachole and Nobbot, who opened fire on the protest group, causing many casualties. But the most impressive historical event at Hoc Mon District Palace was the Southern Uprising on November 23, 1940. Hoc Mon Fort is very solid, built of green stone like a fortress, about 15 meters high, has a gun emplacement and a defense system with battlements guarded by a platoon of green soldiers. On November 22, 1940, France reinforced one more platoon to deal with the situation.

Immediately this army was ordered to pull back to Hoc Mon. The Long Tuy Thuong army was commanded by Mr. Bui Van Hoat. The army of General Long Tuy Trung was commanded by Mr. Do Van Day and Le Binh Dang. At around 24:00 on the night of November 22, 1940, the sound of artillery fire had not yet been heard in Saigon. After consulting, the army commanders united to attack the enemy's post. Immediately the troops headed straight to Fort Hoc Mon, where District Chief Bui Ngoc Tho resided. 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). Although the attack on Hoc Mon Fort (later called Hoc Mon District Palace) failed, it left a deep impression in the hearts of all civilians admiring the courage of revolutionary soldiers in the fight against colonialism. steal the country. During the historic Ho Chi Minh campaign, at 7:00 a.m. on April 30, 1975, Hoc Mon town was completely liberated, the National flag fluttered above the District Palace, where District Chief Nguyen Nhu Sang and his gang sai has been running away since last night. Today, Hoc Mon District Palace is chosen as the District Museum, where many documents are displayed, illustrating the ups and downs of historical periods as well as the revolutionary fighting spirit of the army and people in Hoc Mon district over the past two years. resistance war against French colonialism and American imperialism.

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. Faced with the rapid attack of the Vietnamese army and people in the historic Ho Chi Minh campaign, over 1,000 Americans and more than 5,000 pro-American Vietnamese jostled, pushed, and kicked each other to compete for a place on the terrace of the building. building to be rescued by helicopter. This relic was granted a certificate of recognition by the Ministry of Culture on June 25, 1976.
