This is an ancient artistic architectural work associated with the history and culture of seafaring, especially the custom of worshiping the god Nam Hai (fish - whale) of fishermen in Binh Thuan province in general and Phan Thiet. in particular. According to the beliefs of seafaring residents in the South Central region in particular and Vietnamese people in general, Ong fish is the water god who often appears to help them whenever they encounter storms or accidents at sea, so people People who go to the beach revere the Ong fish, considering it a guardian deity. Therefore, when encountering a dead Ong fish (customarily called Ong Giay fish), people often hold a burial ceremony and worship it very respectfully. Returning to the story of Van Thuy Tu palace, according to ancient documents, this palace was established in the year of Nham Ngo (1762) to worship the Ong fish. At first, the palace was just a wooden house with a thatched roof, then it was gradually renovated with brick walls and a yin-yang tiled roof with a total area of about more than 500 square meters. Even though it has been through more than 250 years of wind and frost, this architectural work is still quite intact. Because the design, decoration and worship of Van Thuy Tu palace are quite similar to communal houses, it can also be called a communal house. The main incense box in the middle of Van Thuy Tu palace worships the Nam Hai Cu Ngoc Lan Ton Than (ie Mr. Nam Hai), the left side worships Hy Hoang Thai named Tien Su Ton Than (the ancestor of agriculture and fishery), the right side worships Thuy Long Thanh Concubine Nuong Nuong Ton Than (water goddess). In short, worshiping characters related to the marine profession. In addition, Van Thuy Tu Palace also has many Sino-Nom cultural heritages related to maritime craft, shown in the worship content in altars, statues, horizontal panels, parallel sentences, and inscriptions of Dai Hong. general... This place is also one of the ancient relics with a large number of ordinations bestowed by the Nguyen Dynasty kings. Because according to old history, in the past, when fighting with the Tay Son Dynasty, the Nguyen Dynasty's generals were rescued many times by whales at sea. Currently in the palace there are 24 ordinations of kings: Thieu Tri, Tu Duc, Dong Khanh, Duy Tan, Khai Dinh. King Thieu Tri alone bestowed 10 divine colors, which is rare compared to other relics. In the grounds of Van Thuy Tu palace, there is a large area of land called Ngoc Lan Holy Land, used to bury the whale whenever he died and drifted in from the sea. According to custom, the fisherman who sees the "grandfather" first becomes his "eldest son", and this person is responsible for taking care of the funeral carefully, mourning after three years. This shows a strange custom of fishermen regarding Ong fish according to beliefs similar to relationships between people. In particular, in the Van Thuy Tu palace, a skeleton of the Ong whale, the longest and largest species of gray-backed whale in Vietnam and Southeast Asia, is currently being kept and worshiped, with the length and weight when he was alive. about 22m, 65 tons, preserved with almost no bones missing. The skeleton is more than 100 years old. Van Thuy Tu Palace is truly a sacred place, bringing many blessings to the people of Phan Thiet coastal area."

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).

Mui Ke Ga is a favorite destination for many tourists when they have the opportunity to come to Phan Thiet. This place has a unique rock jumping bay and majestic Ta Cu mountain, a place to watch beautiful sunrises and sunsets. So if you have the opportunity to travel to Phan Thiet, do not miss this attractive destination. Mui Ke Ga is located in Thuan Quy commune, Ham Thuan Nam district, about 30km south of Phan Thiet city center. The reason it is called Ke Ga is because this cape protrudes about 500m into the sea, shaped quite similar to a chicken's head, so this feature has become the common name of Ke Ga Cape, Ke Ga Island, Lighthouse. Ke Ga. Ke Ga Island is a small island near the shore with clear blue water, unique rocks and majestic, dreamy beauty. This island has the advantage of being close to the shore so it is very convenient to move around. Those who are easily seasick can still visit. You can leisurely look at the calm sea surface, inhaling the salty air of the vast ocean. The rocky beach at Ke Ga Island forms a natural wall surrounding and protecting this small island. With countless unique sizes and shapes, you can freely check-in. However, the rocks are quite slippery so you need to pay attention when moving to ensure safety. Ke Ga Lighthouse has many similarities with Co To Lighthouse, famous as a "virtual living" place that you cannot miss, and is also a symbol of this small island. This is the oldest lighthouse in Vietnam because it was built around 1900 by the French colonialists, all materials used were transported from France. Ke Ga Lighthouse has a height of up to 35 meters, designed and built in an octagonal shape. Here, a high-power light bulb is used with a scanning radius of more than 22 nautical miles and a capacity of 2,000w. This is also the guiding eye for ships at sea to move and reach shore safely. This lighthouse is built entirely from marble, meticulously honed and stacked on top of each other, requiring absolutely no mortar and remaining solid for more than 100 years. This type of material helps keep the air in the lighthouse tower cool and comfortable, and under the sunlight, the colors shine brightly, shimmering and extremely outstanding.

However, to watch the sunrise, you need to camp overnight on the island, because the sun rises very early, around 4:30 you have to wake up to wait for the sun to rise. As for sunset around 6:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., the scene is both sparkling and romantic, the fiery sky reflected on the sea surface will become even more sparkling and magical. At night, you will listen to the whispering sound of ocean waves, listen to the sound signals from the lighthouse, listen to the breath of the vast ocean. In addition, you can also bring food to organize a barbecue on the island, wade with friends in the sea to look for shrimp, crabs, fish, and snails, or rent a basket boat to row near the shore to have fun.
