The pagoda is built on a high hill, with luxuriant trees, windy on all four sides, beautiful scenery, quiet, full of solitude, a place of meditation. In the past, this area was called Tieu Dao Mountain, and is commonly called Cam Forest, perhaps that's why the pagoda is famous as Cam Pagoda. According to inscriptions and genealogies, the pagoda has existed for a long time. In the 12th century, the crown prince, son of King Ly Cao Tong, donated more than a hundred acres of fields, two thousand francs of money to repair the pagoda, and 700 francs of merit for a banquet. worship easily. Assign martial general Nguyen to directly direct and mobilize donations to repair the pagoda.

The military general of the Nguyen family also had the merit of a thousand francs to buy more than a hundred acres of fields to donate to the pagoda for farming. In the 14th century under the reign of King Tran Anh Tong, Bao An Pagoda was given a lot of money to repair and embellish by Princess Hung Nuong. To remember his merits, like many other pagodas in the area, people built a shrine to Princess Hung Nuong in the pagoda. Having gone through the ups and downs of thousands of years of history, Bao An Pagoda is still at the old campus but has had many changes. Ancient architectural buildings such as the front hall, incense burner, upper palace, ancestral house, Hung Nuong princess shrine and mother shrine were demolished due to deterioration. Currently, the pagoda has been renovated and rebuilt on a large scale, with reinforced concrete architecture and tiled roof. The pagoda also preserves valuable relics and antiques such as: Dharma statues, altars, bronze bells, and stone stele. Among them, the most typical is the stone stele "Bao An Zen Tu Bi Bi Ky" (inscription of Bao An Pagoda's stele). Up to now, according to review, survey and statistical data, this is the only Ly Dynasty stele remaining in the province. The stele was engraved in December of the year Tri Binh Long Ung (1209) and re-engraved later, probably at the end of the 18th century, placed at Bao An pagoda. The stele was mentioned and published by many researchers in Ly Tran Poetry (Social Sciences Publishing House, H.1977) and Ly Dynasty Epitaph (VNU Publishing House, H.2010). This is the oldest stele in Vinh Phuc and one of the 18 Ly Dynasty stelae remaining in our country today. The stele is 1.4m high, 0.85m wide, 0.14m thick, placed on the back of a smooth-shelled stone turtle, its head protruding, its four-clawed feet spread out in all four directions. The stele is engraved on both sides with 50 lines including 1498 Chinese - Nom characters, sharp handwriting in the style of Ly Dynasty script, very beautiful. The content of the memoir was composed by Wei Tu Hien in a parallel, parallel, and concise writing style. At the end of the memoir is an essay written in the style of Buddhist verse. The content of the stele describes the splendid and splendid scene of Bao An Pagoda in the 12th century, recording the merits of repairing the pagoda of Prince Sam, son of King Ly Cao Tong, military generals of the Nguyen family, along with Buddhists and people there. This. According to Nguyen Huu Mui (Research on Vinh Phuc Inscriptions, 2013), although the epitaph is still full of exaggeration, the image of a Ly Dynasty pagoda is clearly shown: the pagoda was restored by just one person. , the scale of the pagoda is large, inside the pagoda there are Buddha statues and lotus flowers, outside the pagoda there are bells and openings; The pagoda owns a lot of land and has a Thich Giao Zen Association (a type of Buddhist association, offering temple protection) to manage the meditation area. Based on this stele, it can be seen that the construction and restoration of pagodas took place on Vinh Phuc land since the Ly dynasty. The construction and restoration of pagodas was encouraged, not prohibited, by the royal court and assigned to the mandarins and aristocracy to preside and organize. The construction and restoration of pagodas is also considered an important event in the spiritual life of the people, attracting the whole region and even the whole country to join in the merit. This proves that during the peak development of Buddhism during the Ly Dynasty, Vinh Phuc area was also a popular center of this religion. The special thing is that among the nearly 1,500 words on the stele, there are mixed Nom words, these Nom words are used to write people's names and land names. It is said that this is one of the oldest evidences of Nom script found in Vietnam. Before this stele, traces of a few Nom characters were only found in two places: on the bell of Van Ban pagoda, Hai Phong (year 1076), and in an inscription at the pagoda of Huong Non commune, Tam Nong district, Phu Tho province. (year 1173). Bao An Pagoda was ranked as a provincial historical-cultural relic in 1995. In the period 2021 - 2025, Vinh Phuc province plans to build a scientific dossier to request recognition of the National Treasure for the pagoda steles.

From ancient times until now, tourists and Buddhists from near and far, when coming to Ha Tien Pagoda, not only burn incense and pray to Buddha but also sincerely worship before the Holy Mother to pray for peace in the country and people and a peaceful life. According to ancient books, the pagoda is located in the "mountain and water" position, on both sides there are large mounds of earth shaped like dragons and white tigers. When the country was invaded by foreign invaders, Mrs. Lang Thi Tieu, on her way to join forces with King Hung Vuong 7, saw a strange situation, so she stopped to recruit soldiers.

In the past, during the drought season, all the other wells dried up, but the old well still had water, so people in the village had to go to the old well to draw water. The well of Ha Tien Pagoda is "clear and blue, with magical water veins", so the ancients still compared it: "No matter who is as ugly as a ghost/ Drinking the water of Ha Pagoda is as beautiful as a fairy". Every year, on major holidays, visitors from all over come to the temple to worship Buddha and ask for water from Ngoc well, bring it back to burn incense and drink gradually, especially in the early days of spring. People believe that having ancient well water to use during Tet will bring good luck. With the historical and cultural values outlined above, Ha Tien Pagoda was decided by the People's Committee of Vinh Phu province (now Vinh Phuc) to rank it as a provincial-level Historical and Cultural relic in 1995.

Tran Dynasty historical relic site in Dong Trieu belongs to An Sinh, Trang An, Binh Khe, Thuy An communes. Currently, this is the relic that retains the most imprints of the glorious Tran Dynasty. In the year At Dau, 1225, Ly Chieu Hoang ceded the throne to her husband Tran Canh, marking the transfer of power from the Ly dynasty to the Tran dynasty. From here, the Tran dynasty ruled the country for 175 years, with 12 kings, creating the most glorious dynasty in our country's history. The Tran Dynasty (1225 - 1400) with martial arts and literature, opened a heroic era in the history of building and defending the country. According to documents, the Dong Trieu area was the Tran family's first settlement. Afterwards, this land was given by King Tran Thai Tong to his brother Tran Lieu as a thang moc hamlet. When reigning, each dynasty paid attention to two issues: Duyen Trach was the land where the capital was located, and Am Trach was the place where temples and mausoleums were located. Besides Thang Long continuing to be chosen as the capital, the Tran Dynasty also built and developed two cultural centers and two mausoleum areas in the east and south of the capital. Many researchers have identified Dong Trieu as a major cultural and religious center, along with Thang Long - the political and economic center and Thien Truong Long Hung, the birthplace of the Tran Dynasty. The ancient name of Dong Trieu was An Sinh, but it was only during the reign of King Tran Du Tong that the name was changed, and it became the current Tran Dynasty historical relic site. This is a special national relic area including mausoleums, temples, pagodas, and towers with 14 relics spread out. This is a sacred holy land imbued with historical and cultural spirit and is the original hometown of the Tran Dynasty. Since the 13th century, the Tran Dynasty built Thai Mieu, worshiping the Three Patriarchs of Tran, which is the most important relic site. By the end of the 14th century, many tombs of King Tran were moved to Dong Trieu. The Tran Dynasty historical relics area includes 3 groups, the temple relics group, the mausoleum relics group and the pagoda relics group. Temples and mausoleums are attached to the Tran Dynasty's temples. Along with building mausoleums, the Tran Dynasty also built temples and shrines to worship the predecessors, and many pagodas also sprang up accordingly. But at that time, Dong Trieu only played the role of a mausoleum area and had not yet become the Buddhist center of Dai Viet. It was not until King Tran Nhan Tong became a monk that he went to Yen Tu mountain to practice and founded the Truc Lam Zen sect. He unified the previously existing Zen sects and the entire Buddhist church of the Tran dynasty under one umbrella. During this period, Dong Trieu became an important Buddhist center. The Tran kings built here a dense system of temples, tombs, pagodas and towers in a large landscape area stretching up to the slopes of Yen Tu mountain. Ngoa Van Ho Thien Pagoda is where the Buddha King Tran Nhan Tong preached sermons, and is also a place associated with the cause of propagating Buddhism in Dai Viet, training monks at a higher level. On Ho Thien Pagoda there is also a 7-storey stone tower whose architecture is still a mystery to researchers, attracting many researchers and history lovers from everywhere to visit and study. rescue. Quynh Lam Pagoda is considered the first Buddhist university in Vietnam, possessing a Buddha statue of one of the Four Great Elements of An Nam. The tower garden in the pagoda and the stone tower tombs of Zen masters have unique architecture, a typical cultural heritage not only of Quang Ninh province but of the whole of Vietnam. Over time, natural disasters destroyed, war ravaged, many ancient works in the Tran Dynasty historical site in Dong Trieu are only ruins. However, those ruins still retain their value in the hearts of the people. An Sinh in the past, Dong Trieu today is where the Tran Dynasty kings expressed the fallen leaves ideology of returning to the roots of the Vietnamese people. The things that still exist or even the things that are only left underground are still timeless heritages that not only carry the historical value of the famous dynasty but also demonstrate the 700 years of existence of pure Vietnamese Buddhism.

Bach Dang Historical Relic is located in Quang Yen Town and Uong Bi City. This is the place marking the event when the Tran Dynasty's army and people achieved a famous victory - the Bach Dang Victory, defeating the Yuan Mongol invaders in 1288. In the history of our nation's defense of the country, Bach Dang River has witnessed our army and people three times resoundingly defeat the mighty Northern invaders, all with wooden stakes planted in the Bach Dang river bed. That was Ngo Quyen's Bach Dang victory in 938; 981 by Le Hoan and the peak was the Bach Dang victory in 1288 by Hung Dao Dai Vuong Tran Quoc Tuan. Bach Dang River has become a historical river, Bach Dang stake has become a symbol of the tradition of fighting foreign invaders by waterway of the Vietnamese people. After more than 700 years of sedimentation by the river, the pile pile was deep under layers of mud. It was not until 1953 that people digging soil to build dikes discovered the Bach Dang piles. At first, people did not have the knowledge and awareness to protect cultural heritage, so many piles were pulled up to make rafters and straw piles. After many excavations, archaeologists discovered hundreds of stakes, mainly ironwood, 2.6 to 2.8 m long and 20 to 30 cm in diameter, inserted straight. The average distance between piles is from 0.9 m to 1.5 m. Bach Dang stake yard relic area (including Yen Giang pile yard, Dong Van Muoi pile yard, Dong Ma Ngua pile yard).

Yen Giang stake yard was ranked a special National Monument in 2012. After that, the monument was zoned for protection, an introductory stele was erected, and the access road was embellished to create favorable conditions for tourists to visit. This is also an address for students to learn about history and serve their studies. Currently, Yen Giang pile yard still has about 300 trees in the ground. At the relic site, the pile yard is filled with water to the pond for conservation. Near the Yen Giang stake yard is the Van Muoi copper stake yard with an area of about 6,000 square meters located at the mouth of the Rut River, in Nam Hoa ward, discovered by the people of Quang Yen during the process of farming and digging ponds. After the survey and excavation in 2005. Subsequent archaeological excavations found a total of nearly 200 stakes, showing that wooden stakes planted vertically and diagonally in the Van Muoi field area belonged to many types of wood used. both trunk and branches. The diameter of each pile is from 7 - 10 cm, the pointed part is only about 25 - 30 cm. However, the density of stakes here is very thick, usually 40 - 60 cm apart, some stakes are only 10 - 30 cm apart. According to researchers, this is the southern half of the Bach Dang stake field, while the northern half is the Yen Giang stake field. Because between the two piles there is a strip of high rocky dunes, when the tide is low, the boat cannot cross and is forced to go close to the shore. Therefore, Tran Hung Dao chose a position to place stakes on both sides of the dune to form a V-shaped defense line tightly covering the throat of the Bach Dang River to block the enemy's retreat, creating a glorious victory in the above battle.

According to scientists, the Ha Long area and the surrounding coastal and island areas of the bay include many terrigenous and carbonate sedimentary formations, ranging in age from the Paleozoic to the Neoproterozoic era. Many sedimentary formations in this area contain paleontological traces in various forms of fossils, including groups of animals and plants that have completely or almost completely disappeared from the earth. Geological history of Ha Long Bay, opened nearly 500 million years ago, with very different and quite complex paleogeographical circumstances. The presence of the bay and the islands in the bay are unique evidence of the earth's historical development, including geological characteristics and the continuous movement and development of the Karst terrain, the Fengcong system. and Fengling. The special terrain of Ha Long Bay is closely related to the climatic history and tectonic movement of the earth. The islands here are quite ideal models of Karst formed in tropical, humid conditions. The entire Ha Long Bay area is a Karst landscape over many millions of years, with pyramid-shaped, eroded Karst towers, creating an outstanding and unique beauty around the world. Stalactites in caves in the Bay Area are younger than other caves. Rainwater flows down through cracks in the cave ceiling and walls. Along the way, it dissolves and erodes limestone and deposits it into stalactites on the ceiling and stalagmites on the floor... Thousands of islands and dozens of beautiful caves have created the aesthetic value of the Bay. The beauty of Ha Long is created from 3 elements: rock, water and sky. The system of rocky islands in Ha Long has many shapes and forms, blending with the sky and sea, creating a watercolor painting. The inside of the large rocky islands is attractive with beautiful and strange caves. Dau Go Cave evokes an overwhelming feeling, with stalactites of various shapes and sizes.

In the Triassic period (240 - 195 million years ago), when the earth in general and Europe in particular had a hot and dry climate, the Ha Long Bay area was wet swamps, with forests of cycads and giant ferns. accumulation of many generations... The Karst topography of Ha Long Bay has global significance and is fundamental to geomorphological science. The geological environment is also the foundation for other values of the bay, such as biodiversity, archaeological culture and other human values. The total number of plant species living on the islands in Ha Long Bay is about over a thousand species. A number of different plant species communities have been found, such as mangrove species, island sandbank plants, species growing on mountain slopes and cliffs, on mountain tops or growing at the mouths of caves or caves. rocks. Researchers from the World Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) have discovered 7 endemic plant species of Ha Long Bay. These species are only adapted to living on the limestone islands of Ha Long Bay, and cannot be found anywhere else in the world, such as: Ha Long cycad, purple astragalus, Ha Long palm, antler astragalus, anthurium. Ha Long ear, Ha Long's five family envelopes, golden flower guard girl.

They are called Viet Cong. But all those hardships could not overcome the stubborn will of our people. The patriots turned pain into action, turning prisons into political schools. They established Party cells in prison, actively distributed leaflets and contacted people and soldiers outside. Faced with strong fighting activities of prisoners and people in the area, they were forced to change the place of detention with their communist comrades to other places.

The US Embassy relics, also known as the "White House of the East", are the origin of sinister military and political plots aimed at long-term annexation of Vietnam. 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.
