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 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. .

Chi Hoa Prison, also known as Chi Hoa Prison, located in District 10, Ho Chi Minh City, is a prison built by the French in 1943 to replace the Saigon Prison at the corner of Ly Tu Trong - Nam Ky Khoi Nghia streets. The project is said to have been initiated by the Japanese after the French coup to detain prisoners, but when construction was not completed, they withdrew from Vietnam. After that, the French continued the unfinished work. Almost all materials such as cement, iron, and steel were shipped from France. On March 8, 1953, when the Chi Hoa Prison was completely built, the Saigon Grand Prison was demolished. In addition to some released prisoners, the remaining about 1,600 people and the guillotine were transferred to Chi Hoa Prison. With an area of 7 hectares, Chi Hoa Clinic has 3 floors and 238 rooms. There are two rows of houses for female prisoners. This place used to hold political prisoners against the French colonialists and the Republic of Vietnam regime. Today, this place is reserved by Ho Chi Minh City Police for defendants in cases in the area. Chi Hoa Temple was designed and built by a Japanese architect according to the five elements and eight trigrams theory and is considered a special architectural work. It harmonizes the basic characteristics of French architecture: solid, discreet, cool, while also carrying the mysterious yin and yang of the five elements of the East. The examination has an octagonal shape with 8 equal sides and 8 corners representing the 8 hexagrams: Can, Khon, Chan, Ton, Can, Kham, Doai, Ly in the I Ching. 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

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.

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

Compared to the other three temples, Kim Lien temple was built later (around the 16th - 17th centuries). Kim Lien Temple worships Cao Son Dai Vuong. 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.

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.

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.

As one of the ancient landscapes of the peaceful and poetic land of Ha Tien, Phu Dung Pagoda not only adorns the borderland with the quiet majesty of a temple but also captivates visitors by its discovery. tells the beautiful love story of the Governor and "Miss Ai in the upside-down pot". Phu Dung Pagoda is associated with the story of the person lying in the ancient tomb, Ms. Phu Dung, who later people also gave another name, Ms. Di Tu, the first nun to live at the pagoda. Actually, the above anecdote is told by folk based on the historical novel Ai Co in an upside-down pot by Mrs. Mong Tuyet. The story is summarized as follows: Cong Mac Linh, General of the Army, Grand Admiral Mac Thien Tich, has a second wife named Aunt Tu, who is "beautiful and fragrant and has good writing". Mac Linh Cong, because of his love for beauty and poetic talent, turned from favor to natural love. As a result, Mrs. Nguyen became jealous and plotted to harm the second wife. One day, while Cong Mac Linh was busy reviewing troops, at home, Lady Nguyen locked her concubine in a pot and covered it until she suffocated and died. Suddenly, it started to rain heavily and Cong Mac Linh just arrived. Seeing that it was raining but the big pot was not tilted up to catch the water, he ordered the pot to be opened and discovered that Aunt Tu was barely alive, but luckily she was still able to save her. Although she escaped death, Aunt Tu became bored with the situation and asked Duke Mac Linh for permission to become a monk. Faced with that unruly situation, the General had no other choice but to comply and build a temple for his "Ai Co" to practice. Next to the temple, he dug a pond and planted white lotus flowers to commemorate his old love. When she passed away, Cong Mac Linh built a solid tomb, structured in the shape of a pot, to pay tribute to the beautiful woman who had to endure injustice and hardship because of him... That tomb later became Phu Dung Tu. Although there are different opinions, there is even an opinion that the love story of Mac Doge and Ai Co Phu Cu is just a fiction of writers, but most Ha Tien people know it by heart and believe that it is a beautiful, true love story, associated with the work of opening up Ha Tien land. The historical love story soaked in literature and tears between Governor Mac and Ai Co Phu Cu has since then been the inspiration for many works of stories, operas and poems. In 1959, Kien Giang writer and poet Ha Huy Ha wrote the opera "Wedding dress in front of the temple gate" based on the work "Miss Ai Co in an upside-down pot" by female artist Mong Tuyet. The opera attracted countless hearts of audiences at that time. In front of the pagoda yard is a high platform with a statue of Avalokiteshvara about 4 meters high made of cement and painted white.

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.

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).
