Dai Yen communal house in Ngoc Ha ward, Ba Dinh district, Hanoi, is a relic associated with the "Thirteen camps" area west of Thang Long citadel from the Ly dynasty. The communal house worships Princess Ngoc Hoa, who is said to have been a 9-year-old girl who made achievements in the war against the Champa army in 1104.

Temple of President Ho Chi Minh
The Temple of President Ho Chi Minh is located in Vinh Hoi cluster, Long Duc ward, Vinh Long province, is a national historical and cultural relic, and is also a symbol of the love for Uncle Ho and the resilient revolutionary spirit of the Southern people. The temple was started on March 10, 1970, in the midst of years of fierce war. The project was built on a high sand dune, with an initial area of more than 1,223m². To avoid enemy detection and shelling, people had to secretly carry out construction at night. After many difficult months, the temple was inaugurated on January 26, 1971. The oath "Determined to defeat the enemy as a gift to Uncle Ho" expressed the deep feelings and determination of the Southern army and people. During the war, the temple was repeatedly raided, burned and bombarded by the enemy. However, local people still persistently protect and gradually rebuild the temple more firmly.
