By evening, after many failed attacks, the enemy withdrew from the battlefield. As a result, they failed miserably, with: 450 dead and wounded, including 10 American advisors; 3 M 113 amphibious vehicles were destroyed; 8 helicopters were shot down; 1 ship sank and 2 other ships were damaged. Currently, the relic site is an architectural complex located on an area of nearly 3 hectares including: exhibition house, area recreating the activities of Ap Bac soldiers and people in battle, bronze statues of 3 iron and steel soldiers, area display of trophies after the battle: armored vehicles, helicopters, 105mm artillery; the grave site of 3 iron and steel soldiers: Nguyen Van Dung, Do Van Trach and Hung (don't know their last names); The manor house is interspersed with a flower garden that is always blooming and fragrant. Perhaps the most impressive on the campus is the bronze statue of three tall iron and steel soldiers, weighing 18 tons: one holding a gun, the other holding a gun standing proudly on an enemy tank, their majestic image as if carrying them away. We return to the scene of guns exploding and bombs rumbling more than 50 years ago. The Ap Bac victory is a brilliant milestone in the history of the struggle against foreign invaders of Tien Giang people and our nation. It spoke of the indomitable will of the Vietnamese people, the invincible strength of the people's war. On January 7, 1993, Ap Bac historical relic was ranked as a national relic by the Ministry of Culture and Information (now the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism).

Tomb of Tu Kiet is the name of the tomb and temple of four heroes who fought against the French in the years 1868 - 1870, including: Nguyen Thanh Long (Nam Long); Tran Cong Than (self-styled Phuong); Truong Van Rong and Ngo Tan Duoc (Germany) led the people and insurgent army of Cai Lay - Cai Be to stand up against the French invasion in the last decades of the 19th century. The mausoleum is located on April 30 Street, Cai Lay Town, Cai Lay District, Tien Giang. After the Four Men sacrificed, people built a tomb and temple in Cai Lay Town and to show respect for the people called Tomb of Tu Kiet. According to folk tradition, the four men were all famous for their courage, strategy, and superior martial arts. Having a passionate patriotism, when the French invaded Dinh Tuong province (1861), the four men joined the insurgent force led by Thien Ho Duong. Along with other insurgents, the four of them participated in many fierce battles in the areas of Ba Giong, Cho Gao, My Tho... during the fighting, the four of them achieved many resounding victories. In 1868, when Thien Ho Duong's uprising failed, the four men returned to Cai Lay to gather soldiers, choosing the Cai Be - Cai Lay area as the area to continue fighting against the French. The most glorious victory of Tu Kiet's army was the attack on My Tho citadel and the destruction of Cai Lay garrison. After two years of operations causing a lot of damage to the enemy, Tu Kiet's uprising had to fail under the siege and total suppression of the French expeditionary force. The four men were arrested. They lured them with glory and wealth for many days but failed. On February 14, 1871 (December 25, Canh Ngo year), the enemy took the Four men to the execution ground to be beheaded. More brutally, they also beheaded the four men at Cai Lay market, in order to threaten the spirit of the people. Then punch it at the river wharf next to the market. Admired by the lives and heroic and indomitable fighting example of the four men, the people of Cai Lay built an earthen tomb, surrounded by a wooden fence and solemn incense smoke. In nearby My Trang village, Mr. Nhieu, a student of Dang Van Nguu, built a shrine in front of his house right in the area where the four men were beheaded. The temple was roofed with yin and yang tiles and to blind the colonial government, people called it Ong Pagoda (because in front there was an altar to Quan Cong symbolizing loyalty), and at the back was a tablet engraved with the four words Four Gods. The soul, painted with bright red and gold, worships the Four Noble Phantasms. The storm in the year of the Dragon (1904) caused the temple to collapse. Mr. Nhieu moved the temple to Thanh Son village (formerly in Thanh Hoa commune, now Cai Lay town). Currently, the temple is located in Quarter 1, Cai Lay town, more than a hundred meters from Tu Kiet's Tomb. In 1967, Cai Lay people restored the temple and the Four Ong's tomb on a larger scale, with a shrine inside and a guest house outside. In 1999, the mausoleum of the four men was restored on a large scale by Tien Giang province, looking very spacious and ancient as it is today. Every year on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, Cai Lay people gather here in large numbers to sweep the graves and hold a very solemn death anniversary, respectfully remembering the Four Men who sacrificed themselves for the country and killed the enemy, setting a shining example. for posterity. On September 13, 1999, the Tomb of Tu Kiet relic was recognized by the Ministry of Culture and Information as a national relic.

Vinh Trang Pagoda is located in My An hamlet, My Phong commune, My Tho city, Tien Giang province. Vinh Trang Pagoda was built in the early 1990s and renovated in 1849 in the form of the Chinese character "Quoc", including 4 rooms: front hall, main hall, ancestral house, and back house in succession. The pagoda has a combination of Asian and European architectural style, the main hall represents a stupa, the two wings have spires, so the pagoda resembles 5 towers, symbolizing the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, earth) according to the Buddhist philosophy. Eastern concept, shaped like an Angkor temple in Cambodia. The unique feature of the pagoda is the art of assembling pieces of porcelain to create harmonious art paintings, illustrating Buddhist stories at the two Tam Quan gates. The structure inside the pagoda has 178 columns, 2 quiet courtyards and 5 pagoda layers. The pagoda has 7 main sets of blue panels (and many additional blue panels) that are gilded with gold and carved with images of the Eight Immortals riding animals, the Sun God and the Moon God, elaborately carved by local artisans around 1907-1908. In the pagoda, there are about 60 precious statues made of bronze, wood and terracotta, plated with brilliant gold. The oldest set of statues at Vinh Trang Pagoda is the ancient Tam Ton set (Amitabha, Guanyin, The Chi, 93cm high) made of bronze as big as a real person. The Jade Emperor statue is in the same style as the statues of Gia Lam and Bodhisattva at Buu Lam Pagoda, also made of bronze as big as a real person. Different from past practice, the Jade Emperor here does not have Nam Tao or Bac Dau holding the book of life and death at the head of both sides, but instead there are Mr. Good and Mr. Evil. On both sides of the main hall wall is the altar of the Ten Palaces of Minh Vuong Bodhisattva. In particular, the most outstanding and most artistically valuable is the one-of-a-kind set of statues of the Eighteen Arhats carved from jackfruit wood from the Mekong Delta by artisans in 1907. This is a set of statues. Carved in a folk-inspired pattern, it is very lively, flexible and liberal. Each Arhat rides on the back of a fierce beast; holding his own treasure in his hand symbolizes the senses that Buddhist teachings call the six senses: eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind; in three times: past, present and future. In the pagoda there is a 1.2m high Dai Hong Chung; weighs about 150kg and was cast in bronze in mid-May 1854; The bell body is engraved with the word "Vinh Truong Tu". The sound of the bell adds to the silence and solitude of the temple. Also here, we will encounter Renaissance-style patterns, Roman-style arches, French iron wool, Japanese ceramic tiles,... Chinese characters are written in the ancient Trien script style, while the national language is written in in Gothic style. In front of the pagoda is Vinh Trang park, with an Amitabha Buddha statue over 24m high (pedestal 6m, statue 18m) standing tall in a spacious garden with many beautiful ornamental trees built by sculptors Thuy Lam and Chau Viet Thanh.
