Lang Fortress historical site
Located on Fort Dai Lang Street, Lang Thuong Ward, Hanoi City, Lang Fort Historical Site is the place where the first artillery shots opened the nationwide resistance war against the French colonialists on the evening of December 19, 1946. This is also the place where the first victory of the Vietnam People's Army Artillery was achieved, becoming a "red address" of special significance in the history of the struggle to protect the nation's independence. The fortress was built by the French colonialists in 1941 on the fields of Lang Trung village for the purpose of defending Hanoi. Initially, the project was equipped with four 75 mm anti-aircraft guns and a solid command post system. After the Japanese fascist's coup in France in 1945 and the victory of the August Revolution, Vietnamese military forces collected, repaired and restored cannons to serve the task of protecting the revolutionary government. On June 29, 1946, the first artillery unit of the Vietnam Army was established. Lang Fortress became one of the important artillery battlefields protecting the Capital, where artillery soldiers urgently prepared for combat missions day and night amid the increasingly tense situation in Hanoi. On the evening of December 19, 1946, after the signal to start the National Resistance War was broadcast, from Lang Fort, the first artillery rounds simultaneously fired at French army positions in Hanoi citadel. The sound of artillery not only opened the long resistance war against the French colonialists but also marked the birth and growth of the Vietnam Artillery. During the 60 days and nights of fighting to protect Hanoi, the soldiers at Lang Fortress fought resiliently with the capital's army and people, contributing to holding back the enemy, creating conditions for the Party Central Committee, Government and headquarters to withdraw to a safe base, preparing for a long-term resistance war. After the war, traces of the fortress were no longer intact due to urbanization. However, the 75 mm cannon and part of the battlefield have been preserved and restored within the relic grounds. This place also has a gallery introducing images, documents and artifacts about the history of the formation of Lang Fortress, the early days of the National Resistance and the traditions of the Vietnam People's Army Artillery. In 1986, Lang Fortress was classified as a historical relic by Hanoi city, and in 1992 it was recognized by the State as a National Historical Monument. The building continued to be restored and renovated in 1994–1995 and 2006, contributing to preserving precious historical values for future generations. Today, Lang Fort Historical Relic is a meaningful destination for history lovers, especially the younger generation. Not only does it preserve memories of the early days of the National Resistance War, this place is also a symbol of the resilient will, determined fighting spirit and heroic tradition of the Vietnam People's Army Artillery.

Memorial house of President Ho Chi Minh in Van Phuc
Located in Van Phuc ward, Hanoi city, President Ho Chi Minh Memorial House is where he lived and worked from December 3 to December 19, 1946, before issuing the National Call for Resistance. This is one of the special historical relics, marking the opening moment of the Vietnamese people's long resistance war against the French colonialists. The house was originally owned by Mr. Nguyen Van Duong's family, a family with a patriotic tradition in Van Phuc silk village. With a convenient location, both close to Hanoi and ensuring confidentiality and safety, this place was chosen by the Party Central Committee as the living and working location of President Ho Chi Minh during the days when the country's situation was extremely tense. During his time in Van Phuc, President Ho Chi Minh still went to Hanoi during the day to work with the Government, receive international delegations and direct work, and in the evening returned to this house to study the situation, meet with the Party Central Committee Standing Committee and prepare important decisions for the country's destiny. In mid-December 1946, in response to the escalating acts of invasion by the French colonialists, the Party Central Committee met many times in Van Phuc to decide on the policy of launching a nationwide resistance war. It was in the room on the second floor of the house that President Ho Chi Minh drafted and completed the National Call for Resistance, the historic document that opened the resistance war against the French colonialists with the immortal summons: "We would rather sacrifice everything, than definitely not lose our country, definitely not willing to be slaves." On the evening of December 19, 1946, the National Call for Resistance was broadcast on the Voice of Vietnam, starting a long-term nine-year resistance war and leading to victory with the Dien Bien Phu Victory in 1954. This event marked an important turning point in the nation's history, demonstrating the resilient will and desire for independence and freedom of the Vietnamese people. Mr. Nguyen Van Duong's family kept it absolutely secret, creating all conditions for President Ho Chi Minh to work safely during his stay. Before leaving Van Phuc, he thanked his family and encouraged the people to actively support the resistance war, expressing his strong belief in the nation's victory. Today, the Memorial House of President Ho Chi Minh in Van Phuc is still preserved almost intact. The second floor of the house holds a working room and many original artifacts associated with the days when President Ho Chi Minh lived and worked here; The first floor is a space to display documents and images about the National Resistance War event and local revolutionary traditions. During the journey to explore Hanoi, the Memorial House of President Ho Chi Minh in Van Phuc is a place to help each person better understand and appreciate the sacrifices and determination of the nation in the journey to win and maintain independence.

Northern Palace historical site
Northern Palace historical site Located at 2 Le Thach Street, Hoan Kiem Ward, Hanoi City, Bac Bo Phu is one of the special historical relics associated with the early days of the founding of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. This is where President Ho Chi Minh and the Provisional Government worked after the August Revolution in 1945, and witnessed many important events in the process of building and protecting the young revolutionary government. The project was built by the French in 1918 in the style of ancient French architecture, initially as the Tonkin Governor's Office - the highest administrative agency of the colonial government in Tonkin. After the Japanese fascist's French coup in March 1945, the project was renamed Phu Kham Sai Tonkin. On August 19, 1945, in the boiling atmosphere of the August Revolution, tens of thousands of people from the rally at the Opera House Square marched to occupy the Kham Sai Palace. The event of seizing power here became one of the typical milestones of the General Uprising in Hanoi, contributing to bringing the August Revolution to victory and paving the way for the birth of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. After the victory of the August Revolution, the project was renamed Bac Bo Phu. From the end of August 1945 to the day before the National Resistance, President Ho Chi Minh and the Provisional Government worked here, making many important decisions on building the state apparatus, domestic and foreign affairs, and preparing for the defense of newly won independence. In particular, on December 20, 1946, Bac Bo Phu became one of the fiercest fighting points in the early days of the resistance war against the French colonialists. The National Guard soldiers heroically fought to protect the Government's headquarters, contributing to the beginning of the nation's long resistance war. After the capital was liberated in 1954, the building was renovated and became the Government Guest House, continuing to serve the State's domestic and foreign affairs activities. In 2005, Bac Bo Phu was labeled a Revolutionary Historical Relic, recognizing its special historical and architectural values. Not only has historical value, Bac Bo Phu is also a typical French architectural work with elegant design, in harmony with the space of Hoan Kiem Lake and August Revolution Square. After more than a century, the building still retains many traces of the nation's early founding period and is a witness to important events in the nation's history. Today, Bac Bo Phu is one of the typical "red addresses" of Hanoi Capital. Preserving, embellishing and promoting the value of monuments not only contributes to preserving historical memories but also helps educate patriotic traditions and revolutionary spirit for present and future generations. For tourists who love history, Bac Bo Phu is a meaningful destination to learn about the early days of the formation of the modern Vietnamese State and the journey to protect the nation's independence.

Not only is it a place to worship the ancestors who pioneered the bird's nest profession, the monument also reflects the strong bond between island residents and the natural resources and sovereignty of Vietnam's islands and islands. The temple was built on a large scale in 1848 (the first year of Tu Duc) by Mr. Ho Van Hoa and Thanh Chau village officials to worship the ancestors of the bird's nest exploitation profession and the gods protecting the profession. According to many historical documents, from Gia Long's reign, Mr. Ho Van Hoa was assigned to manage the exploitation of bird's nests on Cu Lao Cham and was honored by later generations as the Patriarch of the bird's nest profession. The monument was built on a sand mound about 150 meters from Bai Huong beach, with the front facing the sea. The architecture has a traditional style with three-entrance gates, scroll-style screens, two consecutive houses with yin-yang tiles and a system of exquisitely carved wooden rafters. The worship space holds many precious artifacts such as horizontal panels, gilded altars, tablets of ancestors and stone stele of the Tu Duc period, reflecting the historical, artistic and religious values of the coastal community.

This is not only a valuable source of fresh water but also a vivid testament to the cultural interference between the Cham and Vietnamese people on the Hoi An international trade port route. Archaeological results show that Cu Lao Cham was inhabited more than 3,000 years ago. By the 7th - 10th centuries, this place became the residence of the Cham people, as well as an important stop on the international maritime route, where vibrant trade activities took place with traders from China, the Middle East and many other countries. After the 17th century, the Vietnamese community came to live and continued to inherit, preserve and use the works built by the Cham people, including the ancient well system. Xom Cam Well has a bold Cham architectural style with a well mouth of about 1.18 m in diameter, 4.5 m deep, the well's bottom is built of bricks in the form of a "collar", bonded with traditional lime mortar. In particular, at the bottom of the well is a system of four ironwood bars assembled into a square shape, contributing to reinforcing the foundation and ensuring the sustainability of the project over hundreds of years. According to many ancient documents, during the prosperous period of Hoi An trading port, international merchant ships often visited Cu Lao Cham to replenish food and get fresh water from ancient wells on the island before continuing their journey. To this day, the Forbidden Hamlet Well is still full of water, clear and cool all year round, continuing to serve the daily life of local people, becoming a symbol of longevity and enduring vitality in the middle of the sea.

Hoa Tien cave relic
Fire Cave is a national historical site located in Hoang Mai ward, Nghe An province, marking the heroic sacrifice of 33 young volunteers from Group 4, unit C271, Team 27 in the resistance war against the US to save the country. This is a sacred "red address", reminding of the brave spirit and dedication of young people who died for the independence and freedom of the Fatherland. On April 28, 1966, while on duty to quarry, level and protect the North-South railway at Hoang Mai station area, soldiers suddenly encountered a fierce air attack by American aircraft. While taking shelter in a cave, two rockets hit the cave entrance, causing a large amount of rock to collapse, burying the soldiers inside. After many hours of rescue, 33 young volunteers heroically sacrificed their lives, most of them when they were only sixteen, seventeen, or twenty years old. From that tragic event, the cave was called by the people by the emotional name Fire Cave. During the war years, the Hoang Mai area was a strategic transportation gateway to the North with an important road, rail and waterway system serving support for the Southern battlefield. Places such as Hoang Mai station, Hoang Mai bridge, Ri bridge or Hoang Mai quarry often become targets of fierce attacks by the US air force. Despite facing bombs, deprivation and danger, the young volunteers still stubbornly held on with the spirit of "Live by the bridge, stick by the road; die with resilience and courage", determined to maintain the lifeline of traffic. The sacrifice of 33 young volunteers has become a shining symbol of revolutionary heroism and the spirit of dedication of Vietnamese youth. In 2003, they were posthumously awarded the title of Martyrs and awarded the Fatherland Certificate by the State. By 2011, the Rocket Cave and Railway Martyrs Cemetery relics were ranked as national historical relics, becoming a place to pay tribute to fallen heroes and educate patriotic traditions for today's generations. Today, Rocket Cave is a destination with profound historical and humanistic significance. Coming here, visitors will not only learn about a heroic period of the nation but also better feel the value of peace, independence and the great sacrifices of previous generations for the future of the country.

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.

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.

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.

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.
