This is also the only railway bridge to cross the Ma River by France. Built in 1904 in the style of a steel arch bridge without pillars, the most modern in Indochina at that time. In 1946, the bridge was destroyed according to the scorched earth resistance policy of the Viet Minh to stop the advance of the invaders. In 1963, the bridge was restored by Soviet and Chinese experts helping to design and construct it, becoming the current pier bridge, with a width of 17 meters, consisting of 2 steel girder spans, with a railway in the middle. , on both sides are car roads and pedestrian roads. During the escalating war against the North of our country, the US Air Force focused on raiding Ham Rong Bridge to cut off important traffic arteries and prevent support from the Northern rear to the major battlefield in the South. The destruction of Ham Rong was chosen by the White House and the Pentagon as the most important goal in the first war of sabotage in the North. With a plot to cut off North-South support, isolate Ham Rong and focus on completely defeating Ham Rong, at 8:45 a.m. on April 3, 1965, the first 16 American planes bombed the area.

After 2 days of stubborn fighting, Thanh Hoa shot down 47 American enemy planes, captured many enemy pilots, and protected the safety of Ham Rong Bridge.

Earthly products include cardamom. Ngoc Uyen Cave has zinc and silver mines. On the An River opposite Bac Sat point, there is Tuan Ty station in Nguyen Duong area, collecting salt tax, each year one thousand taels of silver. Language and writing customs are similar to those of Van Ban province. The Nguyen family will forever serve as Tutors. The military name is called Ninh Nhat. After the chaos, the population was devastated and the land was abandoned. The old managers of Huong Son cave and Trinh Lan cave recruited green-shirted Nung people to work on mining fields to pay taxes. The chiefs gathered the Nung and Manh people to live together, but they were difficult to raise and easily followed the enemy. The road from Van Ban district to get there has to go through mountains, which is very difficult. The waterway from Thao River goes uphill, underneath the river there are many jagged and bumpy rocks." At this time, the enemy general, Phu Chan Tin Toong, regularly sent troops to attack Thuy Vy district and capture Van Ban town. Faced with that situation, the Le court sent famous generals of the Nguyen family to defend the border area and advance up the Red River to expel enemy officials to liberate Van Ban province and consolidate and build Bao Ha land into a large base. Here, the famous general Nguyen gathered local lords and chiefs and recruited soldiers to practice day and night. After that, he led the land and sea army to advance to Lao Cai, driving away the enemy troops and forcing them to retreat to the Yunnan - China border area. After liberating the Quy Hoa area, he recruited the local Thoi tycoons to organize a welcome for the Dao, Tho and especially the green-shirted Nung people to set up villages, develop fields, exploit mines and build their homeland. With the plot to take over Lao Cai, the Northern invaders often sent troops to attack the border areas, but those small invasions were fiercely resisted by the army and people in the border areas, driving them back to the country. But their intention to invade still did not stop. They sent a large army led by enemy general Ta Tu Vang Pet to invade the country. Famous general Hoang Bay once again personally sent troops to fight the enemy. However, because the enemy discovered our military secrets, on the other hand, the enemy army was large, the battle was uneven between our army and the invaders, so he and his generals heroically sacrificed their lives, and his body floated down the river. Hong reached Bao Ha commune and washed ashore. People in the area mourned him with sadness, brought his body to bury him and built a temple for people to offer incense all year round to commemorate his and his generals' contributions in fighting the enemy and defending the country. Afterwards, kings Minh Mang, Thieu Tri, and the Nguyen Dynasty bestowed upon him the title "Tran An Hinh Liet". and bestowed the title "Guardian of the Nation".

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. 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.

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.

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. Construction began on the building in 1965, most of the materials and construction machinery were transported from the US, under the control of American engineers. 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. This relic was granted a certificate of recognition by the Ministry of Culture on June 25, 1976.
