Temple of King Le Thai Tong (Gui Lam Linh Tu)
The temple of King Le Thai Tong (also known as Que Lam Linh Tu) is located in group 3, Chieng Le ward, Son La city. This is a solemn spiritual work inaugurated in 2003 to pay tribute to the talented young king of the Early Le Dynasty. In history, he twice personally led troops to quell rebellions, maintain peace and assert sovereignty over the Northwest border region. The temple is 800m² wide, built harmoniously according to the traditional feng shui "Tien Giang, Hau Cham": its back leans firmly against the majestic Chin Mountain, facing the peaceful Nam La stream. The architecture of the temple is imbued with the identity of ancient Vietnamese temples with three-entrance gates, green stone courtyards, left-right houses, gilded lacquered grand pavilion and a solemn harem with bronze statues of great men. Not only is it a beautiful architectural work, Que Lam Linh Tu today has become a "red address" educating patriotism for the young generation, as well as an indispensable spiritual cultural fulcrum of Son La ethnic people every Tet and spring.

Mach Mang Stream
Mach Mang Stream (also known as Suoi So) in Tan Binh ward, Di An city, Binh Duong province, now Ho Chi Minh City, is a historical relic associated with the fierce anti-dumping battle on May 4, 1968 during the resistance war against the US. Here, the main force, militia and local guerrillas fought tenaciously against a large-scale attack by American and puppet troops with the support of aircraft, tanks and artillery. After more than a day and night of fighting, our army and people repelled many attacks, destroyed many enemy soldiers and burned 4 tanks. However, hundreds of officers, soldiers and people heroically sacrificed their lives. Since then, the stream has also been called Skull Stream by people to remember the great loss and pay tribute to those who died for national independence. Today, the Suoi Mach Mang memorial stele is a red address to educate patriotic traditions, reminding generations of the indomitable spirit and sacrifice of our ancestors.

Phoenix Trung Do
Phuong Hoang Trung Do is the capital chosen by King Quang Trung to build on Dung Quyet mountain, Vinh city, Nghe An province after the victory against the Qing army in 1789. The king wanted to move the capital from Phu Xuan to Nghe An because this was a land with a central location, convenient to manage both North and South, and at the same time a large land rich in military and economic potential. Quang Trung repeatedly assigned La Son Phu Nguyen Thiep to survey, select land and go directly to Nghe An to urge construction. However, while the project was still unfinished, King Quang Trung suddenly died in 1792. After that, the Tay Son dynasty weakened, so the plan to build a new capital was abandoned. Today, the Phuong Hoang Trung Do area and King Quang Trung Temple on Dung Quyet Mountain are typical historical and cultural destinations, associated with the national hero's desire to build a new capital and the strategic vision.

Trung Do Ancient Citadel
Trung Do Ancient Citadel - Border Shield Where the River Flows upstream. Besides the sacred ancient temple, Bao Nhai valley, Bac Ha also holds a majestic historical witness. That is Trung Do Citadel - a military fortress, a "shield" protecting the northern border of the country in the 16th century. Built by Gia Quoc Cong Vu Van Mat during Lord Bau's reign, the citadel possesses a peak geographical position: in front of the river, behind the mountains. The west side of the citadel leans on the Chay River like a deep natural moat to prevent the enemy; The east is protected by rolling limestone mountains forming an impregnable wall. After more than 400 years of collapse, although the ancient wall of earth and pebbles has now merged with the corn fields and tea hills of the Tay people, archaeological traces such as large bricks and funny-nosed tiles still prove a solid and bustling "resistance capital" of the past. Trung Do Ancient Citadel today is not only a National Historical Site, but also a living lesson about the military strategy of our ancestors. Standing here, listening to the sound of the waves of the Chay River, we can still hear the thousand-year-old spirit of a time when we protected the land.
