Ben Thanh market
The history of Ben Thanh Market is associated with the ups and downs of Saigon - Cho Lon urban area. The market was built in 1912 and has undergone many restorations and relocations to get its current appearance and position. Initially, the market was located on the bank of Ben Nghe River, where there was a river wharf for soldiers and people to enter and exit Gia Dinh citadel (Quy Thanh, Bat Quai citadel), so it was called Ben Thanh Market. After the uprising of Le Van Khoi (1833-1835), Gia Dinh citadel was demolished, Ben Thanh Market was also deserted. After the French attacked Saigon (February 1859), the market was completely burned down. In 1860, the French rebuilt Ben Thanh Market at the old location. After many restorations, the market gradually became more spacious with a system of brick columns, iron ribs, tiled roofs, etc. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the French rebuilt the new Ben Thanh Market at today's location between 1912 and 1914, with the iconic clock attached to the south door. In front of the main door (south door) is Ben Thanh Market Roundabout, also known as Dien Hong Square, Quach Thi Trang Square...

turtle Lake
Turtle Lake in the center of Ho Chi Minh City is officially called International Construction Site, which is the intersection of Pham Ngoc Thach, Tran Cao Van and Vo Van Tan streets. There are many restaurants, bars, and cafes around the lake, so this area is always bustling from morning to night. The original location of Turtle Lake in 1790 was the Kham Khuyet citadel gate of Bat Quai citadel (also known as Quy citadel) built by order of King Gia Long. However, after the rebellion of Le Van Khoi (1833-1835), King Minh Mang destroyed Bat Quai citadel and built a smaller citadel named Phung citadel (Gia Dinh citadel). The location of Kham Khuyet gate became a point outside the citadel and directly connected the road outside the west side of the citadel to the river wharf (Road No. 16 - Catinat and now Dong Khoi). After capturing Saigon in 1859, the French destroyed the entire Gia Dinh citadel. In 1878, a water tower was built at the location of Turtle Lake today to serve the needs of providing drinking water for residents in the area. By 1921, the water tower was demolished and the road was expanded to Mayer Street (now Vo Thi Sau Street). From then on, this location became the intersection of routes as it is today. Also at this location, the French built a bronze monument of three soldiers with a small lake, to mark the invasion and symbolize the French mastery of Indochina. Therefore, people often call it Ba Hinh Construction Site. These monuments existed until 1956 when they were demolished by the Government of the Republic of Vietnam, leaving only a small lake. The intersection was also renamed Soldier Field. After the French withdrew from Vietnam, the Soldiers' Construction site became a traffic circle of Duy Tan (now Pham Ngoc Thach) and Tran Quy Cap (now Vo Van Tan - Tran Cao Van) streets. The time when Turtle Lake was built has not been determined exactly, but some documents say it was built in 1965-1967. The designer is architect Nguyen Ky. In the years 1970 to 1974, Turtle Lake was restored and embellished by the government of the Republic of Vietnam. This includes the addition and adjustment of 5 tall concrete columns shaped like five hands spreading out like flower petals supporting a pistil. This new project also includes a traffic circle with a diameter of nearly 100 meters, decorated with green trees and a large octagonal fountain with 4 spiral walkways leading to the central area and the shape of the lake. alloy turtle statue on the back of a large stone stele. Therefore, the folk name is Turtle Lake. Initially, this intersection was named Freedom Fighters Construction Site, and in 1972 it was renamed International Construction Site. However, in early 1976, the stele and the turtle were destroyed in an explosion. Although the turtle was no longer there, people were still familiar with the old name instead of the official name. Due to its rather strange architecture, Turtle Lake is associated with the legend of protecting the dragon's veins of President of the Republic of Vietnam Nguyen Van Thieu. According to author Huynh Ba Thanh's account in the book The Turtle Lake Case (Tuoi Tre Publishing House 1982), there is an oral anecdote that in 1967 when General Nguyen Van Thieu became president of the Republic of Vietnam, invited a famous Chinese feng shui master to examine the situation at the Independence Palace. This feng shui master praised the palace for being built on a dragon vein. This dragon has its head located right at the Independence Palace (so the Independence Palace is also called the Dragon Head Palace) and its tail is located at the Soldiers' Square. Although prosperous, the dragon's tail often struggled, so his career was not sustainable. It was necessary to cast a large turtle to restrain the dragon's tail from struggling, in order to maintain the presidential position for a long time. Therefore, Mr. Nguyen Van Thieu listened and built an octagonal lake, modeled after the eight trigram formation, a feng shui symbol often used to ward off ancient people, and placed a large turtle. cast in bronze right in the middle of the lake. For that reason, many people believe that the tall tower architecture resembles the shape of a sword or a giant nail hammered into the lake to hold the dragon's tail, and the lake grounds are shaped like a bagua, with a yin and yang shape in the middle. .

The prison has 8 prison cells, built in a square octagon. Some research documents say that Ho Chi Hoa was built based on the eight trigrams of Confucius Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period. The 8 hexagrams correspond to the 8 battle gates: Retirement - Birth - Thuong - Do - Canh - Death - Kinh - Khai. Each side of the trigram formation is a zone, the back is sealed on the outside while the inside is full of iron bars and each zone has 4 prison cells. Chi Hoa has only one entrance, so people call it "death's door". Through this door is a tunnel system designed according to the palace. If not guided, the person entering will be disoriented, like falling into a maze, unable to find their way out. In the middle of Kham Chi Hoa is a large octagonal yard divided into 8 small triangles, with many trees and a clean and airy lawn. In the middle is a guard tower more than 20 meters high, on top is a water tank bulging like a sword stuck straight down. Standing here, the guards can easily observe all the cells. With the architecture of Chi Hoa's eight trigram formation, once prisoners enter here, it will be difficult for them to escape. History so far has only had 3 successful prison escapes. The first case is the revolutionary soldiers at the time of the Japanese coup against France in 1945, the second is the bandit general Dien Khac Kim in 1972 and the third is the notorious death row prisoner Phuoc "Eight Fingers" in 1995. For a long time, Chi Hoa Examination has been associated with mysterious anecdotes. It is rumored that the guard post in the middle of the cemetery is the sword guard. No matter how cunning the criminals are, all their tricks here will be neutralized by this "spiritual" sword. This sword is the "heart" of the building. If it is pulled up, the entire "arrangement" will break. Another thrilling story that is still passed down by word of mouth is that because many people died in Chi Hoa Prison, the negative atmosphere here was very heavy. Therefore, heaven often sends thunder and lightning to break a corner to open a door of birth, allowing resentment to escape and the dead to escape. There was information that the government of the Republic of Vietnam had brought back a very skilled geography teacher to partially solve this "battle". In fact, one of the eight roofs of the octagon has been leveled, breaking the perfection of the "eight trigrams", according to heaven's will, opening a door of Birth for souls to fly away. Meanwhile, some scientists believe that underneath the building there may be an ore mine that causes lightning to often hit Kham Chi Hoa. On the grounds of Chi Hoa Prison, there is also a church (today used as the Camp Hall) built by the French as a place to "baptize" prisoners before being executed. In addition, to free the "negative energy", in 1954, the prison warden of Chi Hoa Prison built a temple outside the "eight trigrams" (but still within the prison grounds) to place a Buddha statue. Later, the temple no longer existed, the Buddha statue now lies on a small lake. Source: Vietnamese newspaper

Cho Quan Hospital Detention Center
Cho Quan Hospital (now Tropical Diseases Hospital) is the oldest hospital in Saigon, completed in 1864. The hospital specializes in treating infectious diseases and mental illnesses. Due to the need to treat mental illness, a separate area was built in the hospital to house mentally ill patients. That patient confinement area has now become a cultural and historical relic. During the invasion of our country, the French colonialists arrested and brutally tortured many revolutionary soldiers and patriots. Because they needed to exploit information, they took the prisoner to the mental patient ward of Cho Quan hospital for both moderate treatment and continued questioning. Since then, the prison for mentally ill patients has become a place to detain sick prisoners. In 1931, comrade Tran Phu - the first General Secretary of the Indochina Communist Party, now the Communist Party of Vietnam, was detained by the French colonialists and breathed his last breath here. On April 18, 1931, comrade Tran Phu was arrested at 66 Champagne Street (now Ly Chinh Thang Street) - the Party's printing agency. After detaining and brutally torturing comrade Tran Phu in many different detention camps, they transferred him to Saigon Large Prison to prepare for trial. At this time, comrade Tran Phu's health was increasingly deteriorating. The French colonialists wanted to maintain his life to exploit the Party's secrets, so on August 26, 1931, they took him to the detention center at Cho Quan hospital for treatment. On September 6, 1931, comrade Tran Phu breathed his last breath here. The comrade's body was placed in his personal room. Comrades in the prison held a memorial service for their comrades in this room. All political prisoners in the prison stood along the hallway to see off comrade Tran Phu - the first General Secretary of the Party. In addition to comrade Tran Phu, during the two resistance wars against the French and the Americans, many other revolutionary soldiers such as Tran Nao, Ha Huy Tap, Tran Bach Dang, and Nguyen Van Troi were also detained in this prison area. . Today, the prison area in Cho Quan hospital is open to welcome visitors. The relics still bear traces of shackles and shackles under the colonial regime; as well as the imprints of the indomitable and indomitable fight of revolutionary soldiers with bloody fighting slogans still clearly visible on the walls. From the hospital gate, entering the prison area, on the right side, the architectural plan of the prison area is U-shaped. The horizontal row of the U-shape is 32m long and 12m wide. Two equal vertical rows, each 14m long and 7.5m wide. Outside, in front of the prison door, there is a small guard room with a tiled roof. Surrounded by a 2.5m high brick wall. Entering from the prison door, first is a large cell, holding about 20 people. Next are 2 large cells and 2 small cells. In the middle of the walkway, an additional wall was built from the door to the end of the block, separating the cells on the left and right. To the left of the prison door, 10.5 meters away, are two equal cells, each room 10.75 meters wide. Near the end of the row there are 2 small individual cells, with an iron net on the roof. At the end of the row there are 3 small bathrooms. In general, the prison area in Cho Quan hospital is a fairly intact historical relic. In recent years, District 5 has invested nearly 700 million VND to restore the first phase of the monument, making it one of the places for political activities and traditional education for the young generation. After inauguration, the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union of District 5 is responsible for managing, introducing and guiding visitors to visit the monument. The relic has a great educational effect on the young generation, from comrade Tran Phu's shining example of courage, steadfast revolutionary spirit and compassion for comrades and comrades. This relic will forever remind the next generation of the advice of the first General Secretary of the Party: "Keep the will to fight". The prison area in Cho Quan hospital was recognized as a historical relic by the Ministry of Culture on November 16, 1988. Source: People's Committee of District 5, Ho Chi Minh City

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.

Nha Rong Wharf - Ho Chi Minh Museum (Ho Chi Minh City Branch)
Nha Rong Wharf is one of the historical relics associated with the great President Ho Chi Minh's path to national salvation. Nha Rong Wharf or Ho Chi Minh Museum started out as a major commercial port of Saigon. This trading port is located on the Saigon River and was built in 1863, and more than 2 years later, in 1864, this Nha Rong was completed, on the area near Khanh Hoi bridge. Construction of Nha Rong began on March 4, 1863, by the "Sea Shipping Company" to build a store to serve as a residence for the General Director and a place to sell train tickets. The roof is decorated with a dragon image, in the middle instead of a pearl is a badge with the image of "Horse head and anchor". The "Horse Head" insignia refers to the time when in France, this company specialized in road transport with horses pulling carts, while the "Anchor" symbol symbolizes ships. In 1919, the company was allowed to build a wharf with reinforced cement but could not do so. It took until March 1930 to complete the new wharf, which had only one wharf but was 430m long. In 1955, after the French colonialists failed in Vietnam, Saigon Trade was transferred to the southern government of our country to manage. The government restored the roof and replaced the two old dragons with two other dragons with heads facing outward. With a construction area of nearly 1,500 square meters, the remaining area is a green garden with cool air and a romantic setting of more than 400 precious trees from all over the country gathered here to show off their beauty and fragrance, especially especially the banyan tree of the late General Secretary Nguyen Van Linh and the bodhi tree of the President of India. In 1965, Nha Rong was used by the US military as the headquarters of the US Military Aid Receiving Agency. In 1975, after the country was unified, Dragon House, the symbol of Saigon port, was managed by the Vietnam Seaway Department. Nha Rong Wharf is currently the Ho Chi Minh Museum, Ho Chi Minh City Branch, one of the museum branches and souvenirs about President Ho Chi Minh in the country. Because here, on June 5, 1911, young man Nguyen Tat Thanh (later Ho Chi Minh) boarded a train to work as a kitchen assistant to have the opportunity to go to Europe. Next was the day Uncle Ho left to find a way to save the country in Vietnam. Nha Rong Harbor is a place to preserve many priceless documents and artifacts to help future generations better understand the life and great revolutionary career of the Father of the Nation. The museum is built into 12 galleries with about 170 data, images and artifacts. Not only that, this is also an address for people to come and learn about the life and revolutionary career of Uncle Ho. Nha Rong Wharf is also a destination that attracts millions of domestic and international tourists. From the above great values and meanings, Nha Rong Harbor deserves to be a national historical relic that we need to preserve, honor as well as propagate and promote to friends in five continents. Nha Rong Wharf will forever be a great pride of the entire nation. Source: Department of Cultural Heritage

Steel Wire Historical Site
The Steel Wire Bot relic includes 3 separate houses, Western-style architecture, brick walls, tile roofs, located on high land in Tang Nhon Phu A ward, district 9, Thu Duc city. Steel Wire House was built a long time ago. According to elders over 80 years old, they saw the Steel Wire house when they were young. Before 1945, the Steel Wire House was formerly known as the Steel Wire House because it was built to serve as a news transmitting and receiving station for the French. The station is designed to consist of three separate houses with 'western' style architecture with three antenna columns, the tallest of which is over 70 m. The project was designed by two Frenchmen, Hermall and Stéru, to serve the invasion of the French colonialists before 1945. The steel wire is a house with one ground floor and one floor, with many windows facing out in four directions. On the left side of the house there are two stairs leading to the first floor. The strangest thing is that in Steel Wire Bunch there is a secret cellar used to lock up and torture people they consider 'rebellious'. The tunnel has only one vent at the top. The mouth of the tunnel is small (0.4 m2) just large enough for a person to stand upright and enter the tunnel. In 1945, when Japan staged a coup to oust France in Indochina, the Steel Wire House was occupied by Japanese fascists. Not long after, the Japanese fascists were defeated, the French colonialists returned and the Steel Wire House belonged to the French again. When retaking the Steel Wire House, the French colonialists took down the antenna column (leaving only one column) and built two more brick houses with high floors, one for the commander named Pi-rolet and the other. The remaining room is reserved for French soldiers to guard. Since the day they took over Steel Wire, the French army has turned this place into a prison, arresting, besieging, torturing, and interrogating the people of the heroic Tang Nhon Phu village and those they suspect of being involved. , providing supplies to revolutionary soldiers. Here, during the nine-year resistance war against the French colonialists, French soldiers interrogated and tortured countless people as well as resilient revolutionary soldiers. They arrested and brutally used all methods of interrogation. There are prisoners who suffocated to death because the cellar was overcrowded and there was no oxygen. Many other people, regardless of age, young or old, male or female, whenever they were suspected by them, they had to stand in line so they could shoot them and throw their bodies into the Cau Ben Noc River. More brutally, they also used machetes to decapitate, threw the body into the river, the head was impaled on a stake, and formed a long line in front of the steel wire fence to 'expose the crime', preventing patriots from standing up. Being surrounded by steel wire during nine years of resistance against the French colonialists was a living hell for many innocent people. The Steel Wire Basket Relic was recognized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism as a national historical and cultural relic on January 18, 1993. Source: Tang Nhon Phu A Ward Youth Union

Before being sentenced, she was exiled to Chi Hoa, Ba Ria and Con Dao prisons. Because the French army did not dare to publicly execute the sentence against her, they secretly murdered her. The story is still told that, when the group of executioners told her to kneel, she shouted back at them with a legendary sentence, I only know how to stand, not how to kneel. She was executed by firing squad in 1952 in Con Dao when she was under 18 years old. About 100 meters away is the monument park and the temple of hero Vo Thi Sau. Her statue is placed there, in a cool, four-season place fragrant with porcelain flowers, magnolia flowers, and lekima flowers. A beautiful, peaceful and quiet place. The statue is cast in bronze, 7m high, in the manner of Ms. Sau leisurely walking to the execution ground, her shirt still fluttering in the wind.

The temple is a place for people to pay their respects, commemorate heroes and is a place to display artifacts, introducing images of the life and activities of heroic martyr Vo Thi Sau and some images of his homeland Dat Do. .
