Phuoc Kien Pagoda is located in Hoa Tan commune, Chau Thanh district, Dong Thap province, established before the reign of King Thieu Tri. The pagoda is ranked as a historical-cultural relic by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. According to abbot Thich Hue Tu, in the past the pagoda was very large, majestic, and possessed a spacious, pure, and cool space. Phuoc Kien Tu Pagoda was also an operational base, raising the mark of revolutionary cadres. However, unfortunately in 1966, war bombs completely collapsed the temple. After 1975, the pagoda was rebuilt with a simple, uncomplicated architecture including: entrance gate, Guanyin worshiping tower and main hall. Bomb craters are used by monks in the temple as lotus ponds. In the lotus pond there is a strange and rare lotus species not only found in Vietnam but also in Southeast Asian countries. The lotus pond at Phuoc Kien Pagoda has a square shape symbolizing the earth, and the lotus leaf has a round shape symbolizing heaven. Huge lotus leaves, as big as stilts, with a curved rim nearly an inch wide, very beautiful. It is known that this lotus species appeared in the temple's pond in 1992 and has existed until now. No one knows their exact name, so people often call them by many different names. Some people call it the king's lotus, sometimes it is called the lotus king, other times it is called the lotus, etc. Because of the strange lotus species, people often call the pagoda by the popular name "Lotus King Pagoda" or "Lotus Leaf Pagoda"... King lotus leaves are special in that they can shrink with the seasons. In the dry season, the leaves are only about 1 meter long, but in the wet season, the leaves are large with a diameter of 3 to 4 meters. The edges of the leaves are about 3 to 5cm above the water surface, their shape resembles the strappy hats of Quan Ho village girls. During the flood season, large lotus leaves can easily hold a person weighing 70 - 80 pounds without only slightly shaking the water surface. In the dry season, lotus leaves are only about 1 - 1.5 meters long. The upper surface of the leaf is smooth and light green, while the lower surface is thorny and has many large veins, divided into squares that are light red when young and gradually darken as the leaf ages. Lotus flowers bloom for 3 days and bloom twice a day, changing color continuously. The flowers bloom for the first time around 6 pm, radiating a fragrant scent until 12 am the next morning, then begin to close. At about 3 o'clock the flowers bloom again, and at about 4 - 5 p.m. they close their petals. From the initial pink-white color, each time the flower blooms it will get a little darker until it fades to a dark purple color. Phuoc Kien Pagoda is also associated with the story of the magical turtle and magical crane. In 1948, someone brought a turtle to the temple. This turtle hangs around the monk all day long, eating only vegetarian food and listening to Buddha's chanting. In 1966, the devastating war left the pagoda devastated and the turtles were taken away, but then the turtle thief brought the turtles to the pagoda to confess his crime. In 1999, a crane appeared in the temple and it often perched on the turtle's back, but later, there was an idea to capture the crane and return it to the conservation area. From then on, people no longer saw the crane, the crane flew away, and the turtle also passed away. The abbot embalmed the turtle's body and wore a rosary around his neck, placing it in a glass cage in the temple. Source: Dong Thap Trade, Tourism and Investment Promotion Center

Complete liberation of the People of 18 Betel Garden Villages. After defeating Chi Hoa Fort, the French colonialists built a 3-storey wooden house here to use as a military post. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Another equally humiliating event for the US Embassy was the chaotic escape that occurred on April 29 and 30, 1975 by the US and its accomplices. Faced with the rapid attack of the Vietnamese army and people in the historic Ho Chi Minh campaign, over 1,000 Americans and more than 5,000 pro-American Vietnamese jostled, pushed, and kicked each other to compete for a place on the terrace of the building. building to be rescued by helicopter.
