On the north side of the lake, a mound of land emerges about three or four meters wide, which is said to be the place of the fishing station in the late Le Dynasty. Previously, Mr. Tin Trai of Nhi Khe village had a Quan De temple there, so he expanded and renovated it Ngoc Son pagoda...". A few years later, the pagoda was given over to a charity association and converted into a temple to worship the Three Saints. This association removed the bell tower, rebuilt the main hall, the rows of rooms on both sides, placed the statue of Van Xuong De Quan to worship and changed the name to Ngoc Son temple. According to the article "Repairing Van Xuong Temple", "...Currently the new temple has been completed, in front of it is next to the water, Tran Ba communal house, meaning it is a pillar standing firmly amidst the wave of culture. left, east of The Huc bridge, built Dai Nghien.

At the relic, there is a stone stele with the title "The Merciful God of Cao Son" composed by historian Le Tung in 1510, talking about the merits of God Cao Son. The content said: When King Le Tuong Duc led the army to suppress the rebellion and restore King Le Thai To's fortune, there were three great ministers, Nguyen Ba Lan, Nguyen Hoang Du and Nguyen Van Lu, who together led troops to conquer. Coming to Phung Hoa district (now Lao Temple relic, Van Phuong commune, Nho Quan, Ninh Binh province), you will see a dense mountain and forest scene with an ancient temple inscribed with the four words "Cao Son Dai Vuong". Very surprised, the king and mandarins asked the gods for help. Sure enough, after ten days it was successful. Therefore, King Le Tuong Duc built a temple to worship Cao Son in Phung Hoa. After being grateful to the god for secretly helping to quell the rebellion in Dong Do, in 1509, the king rebuilt a bigger and more beautiful temple in Kim Hoa ward near Thang Long at that time (now Kim Lien). Later, Kim Lien villagers built a three-entrance gate in front of the temple gate, right next to Kim Lien lagoon and added some new architecture, creating Kim Lien communal house. In addition to Cao Son Dai Vuong, Kim Lien temple and communal house also worship Tam Phu, worship the Mother Goddess, and worship President Ho Chi Minh. The communal house was built on a high mound in the east of Kim Lien lagoon. The communal house gate and main hall door both face west, overlooking Kim Lien lagoon (this lagoon no longer exists because it was filled in to make ring road 1). The architecture of the communal house consists of two parts: the front part of the mound has a pillar gate, two rows of ceilings on both sides of a large brick yard, and the main architectural part of the monument is located on a high mound. Going to the end of the upper yard, you will pass through nine high brick steps built with large-sized bricks of the Le Trung Hung period connecting the two above architectural parts. The main communal house includes Nghi Mon, Dai Pagoda and Forbidden Palace. Nghi Mon is a three-compartment house, built in the style of a gable wall. On the architectural parts, decorative motifs are displayed vividly and elaborately in the artistic style of the Nguyen Dynasty. Dai Bai House consists of 5 new compartments renovated by the city on the occasion of the 990th anniversary of Thang Long-Hanoi, with traditional architectural style. The harem is a house with three vertical compartments, the last compartment is the place to worship Cao Son Dai Vuong and two goddesses of harmony (Dong Ho Trung Vuong (Princess daughter of King Le) and Princess Hue Minh). The communal house was renovated and restored in 2009. Important relics at Kim Lien communal house, in addition to the stone stele "The Compassionate God of Cao Son Dai Vuong", also have 39 ordinations for the god Cao Son Dai Vuong, including 26 ordinations under the Le Trung Hung dynasty, 13 ordinations under the Nguyen dynasty. , the earliest of which is the ordination dated to the second year of Vinh To (1620).

Bach Ma Temple is in Ha Khau ward, Huu Tuc district, Tho Xuong district, Hoai Duc district, now at 76 Hang Buom street, Hoan Kiem district, Hanoi. The temple worships the god Long Do, titled Quang Loi Bach Ma Dai Vuong (god Long Do means the god of Long Do mountain, also called Nung mountain, the place that receives the sacred energy of the rivers and mountains of Thang Long citadel). Legend has it that when our country was dominated by the Northern Tang Dynasty, Cao Bien ordered his soldiers to build Dai La citadel. Suddenly, he saw the sky and earth being dark and dark, and a god riding a red dragon, sitting on a five-colored cloud, hovered above. city face. Cao Bien was scared and intended to use a magic spell to ward off the attack. That night, Bien dreamed that the god appeared and said: I am the elite of Long Do land. I heard that you ordered the construction of the citadel, so why do you intend to use magic charms to protect it? Bien woke up scared but still buried copper and iron in the dragon veins for protection. That night, there was heavy rain and strong winds, thunder and lightning. Waking up in the morning, Cao Bien went to see the places that had been secured and saw that copper and iron had been smashed to pieces. Cao Bien saw that it was the sacred god of the South. Bien could not do anything, so he ordered a temple to be built to ask for blessings. Legend has it that when Ly Cong Uan moved the capital to Dai La citadel, he ordered the citadel to be built but it was not completed. The king sent people to Bach Ma temple to pray to the gods. He saw a white horse coming out of the temple in a circle from east to west, leaving traces wherever it went, then returning to the temple and disappearing. The king sent his soldiers to follow the horse's footprints to build the citadel, and sure enough, the citadel was built. King Ly Thai To then repaired the temple and appointed the god Long Do as Quang Loi Bach Ma, the most sacred deity. Lifting the veil of divinity, we see that when the Ly dynasty's kings and mandarins moved the capital to Dai La, they planned the eastern capital as Bach Ma temple, in the west as Voi Phuc temple, in the north as Tran Vo temple, in the south as Cao Son temple ( Kim Lien family today). That is "Thang Long four towns". The ancients sanctified the capital's land and the king's deeds, the holy land was determined by the gods with the "magic circle" which was a belief from the tribal times. The temple has been repaired many times. The system of stone steles still present at the relic shows that the temple was expanded in the Chinh Hoa era of the Le Dynasty (1680 - 1705). At the end of the 19th century, the old foundation was enhanced and expanded. In 1781, Lord Trinh approved the 3 borders of Mat Thai, Bac Thuong, Bac Ha, and Ha Khau ward surrounding Bach Ma temple to be made "customary" by people (sam). offerings and sacrifices, not collections or other miscellaneous services). In 1829, it was repaired again to make it more magnificent. In 1839, additional writing was built on the left side of the temple, and the Phuong communal house (square communal house) was built to serve as a place for worshiping every week. The temple grounds have shrunk. On the occasion of the 990th anniversary of Thang Long - Hanoi (2000), the monument was majorly renovated on the basis of preserving the old architectural status quo. The temple faces south, currently including Tam Quan, Phuong Dinh, Dai Pagoda, Burning Incense, Forbidden Palace and the Council House in the back. The new communal house was built in 1839 under the Nguyen Dynasty, so it bears the architectural style of today. The cows on the cross beams and the lotus-shaped lanterns on the top of the four armpit beams are close to the communal house architecture in Hoi An. From the communal house to the great altar there is a dome shaped like a "crab shell". The "crab shell" connects the houses, creating a spacious space. Dai Bai has a wooden frame with four rows of legs, a set of rafters structured in the style of "stacking beams, gong racks", and a roof divided in the style of "upper third, lower fourth". On the wooden posts, armpit beams, and beams, there are many carved plaques. Decorative themes are fire clouds, flowers and leaves. Connecting the great altar to the incense burning house is a semicircular "crab shell" dome, decorated with flowers and leaves. In the Forbidden Palace, there is a high wooden floor with planks on three sides to serve as the seat of the god Bach Ma. The statue of the god Bach Ma (Long Do) sits in the cemetery, always covered. Both the statue and the tomb are products of the Nguyen Dynasty. The temple still retains 15 steles. The content of the steles refers to the history of temples and gods, worshiping rituals, and restorations. The temple has worshiping objects such as ceremonial sets including ancient weapons such as halberds, swords, spears, spears... painted with gilded vermilion and delicately carved. In the temple, in addition to bronze incense burners, bronze vases, and a large number of people, there is also a Buddha statue. This detail represents the folk concept of "three religions of the same religion". The temple also has a pair of high-legged, high-necked cranes and a pair of gongs in a solemn standing position. Among the relics of the "Four Towns", Bach Ma Temple in the eastern town was built the earliest. Existing in the heart of the old town with many colors, architectural artistic elements and a system of historical and philosophical legends about the worshiped deity, Bach Ma Temple forever retains its value as a sacred landmark of the ancient world. The capital city of Thang Long has a thousand years of culture. The temple was ranked as a historical and architectural and artistic relic by the Ministry of Culture and Information in 1986.

The US Embassy relics, also known as the "White House of the East", are the origin of sinister military and political plots aimed at long-term annexation of Vietnam. The relic site is a 5-storey building built Built in modern architecture, located at the corner of Mac Dinh Chi - Le Duan Street, Ben Nghe Ward, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, on a plot of land nearly 5,000 square meters. Previously, the US embassy was located at 39 Ham Nghi Street. 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.

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.
