Emperor Citadel is located in Nhon Hau commune and Dap Da ward, An Nhon town, 27km northwest of Quy Nhon. Emperor Citadel was built by the Tay Son dynasty in 1776 on the basis of Do Ban citadel left by the Champa Kingdom and was officially named Emperor Citadel since 1778. During a long period from 1776 to 1793, The citadel was the headquarters of the Tay Son army and later the capital of the central government of Emperor Thai Duc - Nguyen Nhac. The Imperial Citadel was originally a rectangular architectural complex, consisting of three citadels: the Outer Citadel, the Inner Citadel and the Forbidden Citadel. The outer citadel has a circumference of 7400m. The Citadel, also known as the Imperial Citadel, has a rectangular shape of 430m long and 370m wide. Inside the Citadel is the Forbidden City, also rectangular, 174m long and 126m wide. Through many excavations, many architectural works have been revealed, proving that the Thai Duc dynasty developed on this land. That is the main hall's floor, the octagonal floor with Bat Trang tiles and Champa white stone. The two semi-circular lakes are symmetrical around the octagonal palace, with rows of coral stones and stone steps attached to the lake. In addition to two semicircular lakes, the excavation also revealed a heart-shaped lake. Hundreds of years old fig trees next to Gia Son island. The square well at the corner of the citadel is paved with laterite, but the water is still clear to this day even though over time the plants and trees accidentally cover it. The Imperial Citadel also witnessed battles between the Tay Son and Nguyen dynasties, including the siege battle between the two Tay Son generals, Tran Quang Dieu, Vo Van Dung, and general Vo Tanh in May 1801. Unable to resist the Tay Son army, Vo Tanh self-immolated along with the civil servant Ngo Tung Chau, who drank poison and committed suicide. After the fall of the Tay Son Dynasty, this place became a place to worship the "twin faithful" Vo Tanh and Ngo Tung Chau. Although the Imperial Citadel is only a historical relic, the culture and craft villages around the citadel are still the same as ever. Not as many as the "36 streets" of Thang Long citadel, but around the Emperor Citadel there are still many craft villages bustling with production such as Van Son pottery village, Phuong Danh weaving village, Bang Chau bronze casting village, wood turning village, etc. hats... show a bustling capital with horses, carriages and prosperity, making us feel uneasy thinking about an ancient legend. The citadel was recognized by the Ministry of Culture and Information as a national monument in 1982. Source: Website of the People's Committee of An Nhon town

Ta Vai Bridge, located in Ta Vai village, Chieng Hac commune, Yen Chau district, is a famous historical relic of the province. During the resistance war against the French colonialists, the bridge not only had a meaning for people's livelihood but was also a historical relic. Ta Vai village has a bridge with 46 fierce attacks and suffered 1,272 bombs from American aircraft to cut off the main artery of Highway 6. But the bridge still stands, ensuring smooth traffic. In 1965, the American enemy used air force and commandos to frantically sabotage the North in order to prevent the North from providing support to the Southern people. On June 20, 1965, American planes dropped 6 bombs on Khau Day village (Chieng Hac, Yen Chau) and 20 rockets on Ta Vai bridge. . Starting from here, American aircraft continuously bombarded Yen Chau, but due to good preparation of plans to deal with America's destructive war, Yen Chau entered the war without being surprised. At this time, Ta Vai bridge became a place of fierce fighting between us and the enemy. With the determination to ensure smooth traffic flow in all situations, determined to stay at the traffic center of Ta Vai bridge, the militia and self-defense force and armed force units have always stuck to the road and bridge to ensure traffic is clear. Here, from March to December 1966, we arranged the 14th Battalion of anti-aircraft artillery to protect the Ta Vai bridge, in which Company 3, consisting of two 37mm artillery batteries, was positioned in the area of Ban Tat hill. , adjacent to Tai Vai bridge, Company 2, consisting of four 37mm guns, was arranged in a continuous position to the west of Ta Vai bridge. In addition to the two main battlefields with 37 mm cannons, there is also a secondary battlefield consisting of a 12.7 mm company located in lower terrain also near Ta Vai bridge. To arrange such a battlefield, the people of Ta Vai village and the soldiers dug fortifications to build a road around the hillside to pull up artillery. Each 37 mm cannon required 200 people to pull it. To encourage morale and help soldiers fight, the people of Ta Vai village enthusiastically participated in the fighting and produced rice to contribute to the front lines. During those years, the people of Ta Vai, along with other villages in Chieng Hac commune, contributed nearly 9 tons of vegetables, 500kg of poultry, tons of food... In addition, the commune's performance team also went to the battlefield in uniform. army and militia service. Many times having to move the battlefield, the people and the soldiers used forest rope to braid to pull the artillery; used bamboo to make shacks for the soldiers and helped the soldiers dig over 3,000 meters of shelters on the battlefield with the determination to protect the transportation artery for the battlefield. The enemy destroyed bridges and roads, but the spirit of the army and people here was undeterred. Despite the roar of bombs and bullets, they still enthusiastically repaired the roads for vehicles to pass, with the emulation movement "Singing over the sound of bombs" and "Singing over the sound of bombs" and "Singing over the sound of bombs" The enemy broke it, I'll fix it. If the enemy destroys me, let me go." On December 8, 1966, the enemy organized 3 groups of planes to drop bombs on the hill where there was an anti-aircraft artillery battlefield and bombarded the Ta Vai bridge. At this time, 2 bridge spans were hit by bombs and fell into the stream and traffic on Route 6. was cut. Because the bridge was in a dangerous location, the stream was wide, the water was deep, and the enemy fought day and night, so it was very difficult to rebuild the bridge. Faced with that situation, the bridge protection unit decided to build a bypass and underground road to ensure traffic at all costs. The underground tunnel of Ta Vai bridge was built by soldiers and civilians about 1km downstream, but the enemy still discovered it and continued to bombard it. With courageous fighting spirit, the army and militia units have well secured traffic arteries. Promoting the tradition of tenacious fighting and the spirit of solidarity, the people of Ta Vai village with a boiling spirit of hatred for the invaders turned into revolutionary actions in combat and production, making an outstanding contribution to the achievements in defeating the US imperialist plot to expand the war. At the Ta Vai battlefield, the army and people of Yen Chau shot down 2 F105 planes and captured American enemy pilots with rifles, the lifeline of support for the South was always running smoothly, that victory quickly spread throughout the world. place, known throughout the country. Today, the war has receded into the past, the people of Ta Vai work hard in production and continue to contribute human and material resources to their homeland, where the Ta Vai bridge marks the crimes of American imperialism during the war. war of invasion in Vietnam.

Like the Dien Bien Phu base group, the most important part of this military base is Na San airport, which is responsible for supplying French troops on duty here. This airport was built in 1950 when the French army dominated and oppressed the people of the Northwest ethnic groups after taking control from the Viet Minh. Initially, Na San airport served the needs of travel with a short, small runway system and simple structure.

For nearly a month since the French army withdrew here, they have continuously reinforced food, weapons, ammunition, barbed wire and other necessary materials to reinforce this military base. .

The central command tunnel also has a relatively safe trench system to escape to the airport in case of need. The Northwest Campaign began on October 1, 1952 and ended on December 10, 1952. After 3 fierce attacks by our army and people, the campaign quickly ended 4 months earlier than the original estimate. We destroyed many enemy troops and captured many weapons and ammunition.

The Northwest Campaign ended in complete victory. Up to now, little is known about the Na San stronghold group because of its small scale and passive nature of response. However, this was the first origin for the form of attacking a group of strongholds of the French colonialists, the idea of forming the Dien Bien Phu stronghold group later, and the first form of defense with strategic significance that appeared. present during the Vietnam War.

This place marked the change in the combat motto of the Front Command from "fight quickly, win quickly" to the motto "fight firmly and advance firmly". And this is also a historical place imprinted with sacrifices, difficulties and hardships as well as solidarity and synergy during the preparation of the campaign, the spirit of determination to overcome all challenges and hardships to win. On January 14, 1954, at the Campaign Command Headquarters in Tham Pua Cave, Km 15, Tuan Giao - Dien Bien Street, the Party Committee and the Campaign Command met to discuss a plan to destroy the Dien Bien Phu stronghold group. The Politburo's strategic determination at the meeting was to concentrate forces to destroy all enemy troops in Dien Bien Phu according to the principle of "sure victory". The artillery towing command was established with comrade Le Trong Tan as commander and let each type of gun be tested to learn from experience and decided to use a truck to tow the artillery at kilometer 9 near Na Nhan village and stop cutting. The artillery got out of the vehicle and used human power to pull dozens of 3-ton artillery pieces into battlefields over a distance of 15km. The artillery road is 3m wide, running from the mouth of Na Nhan forest through the 1150m high Pu Pha Song peak, equivalent to a 40 - 60 degree slope down to Ban Tau, Dien Bien Phu - Lai Chau road to Nghiu village. To ensure secrecy, the artillery path must be completely camouflaged to prevent detection by reconnaissance aircraft. The estimated road construction time was one day and one night. The soldiers of the 308th Army, a company of mountain artillery, and an engineering battalion of more than 5,000 people successfully completed the road to pull the artillery in 20 hours. The next thing is to put howitzers and anti-aircraft guns into the battlefield position to fire. The mission was given to Group 351 and Group 312, expected to be completed in 3 nights. But after 7 arduous days and nights, our artillery still did not reach all the battlefields compared to the original plan, so the planned shooting time of January 20, 1954 had to be postponed for 5 days, i.e. January 25, 1954. At this time, our Command Post moved from Tham Pua cave to Huoi He cave, Na Tau village. Here, after considering the many changes in the enemy's situation, in order to ensure "a sure victory", General Vo Nguyen Giap quickly changed the battle plan from "quick attack, quick victory" to "sure victory, sure advance." ”, ordered the artillery to be pulled out of the battlefield, retreated to the gathering place, and re-prepared. Pulling artillery into the battlefield is difficult and difficult, pulling artillery out is even more difficult. Our artillery path has now been exposed, the road is slippery, enemy planes are searching day and night to bomb. On open roads, artillery transfer must be carried out at night. At night, on the roads pulling artillery, the soldiers' backs were drenched in sweat, their eyes were dark from lack of sleep, their hands were tightly clinging to the winch rope, their feet were as if they were stuck to the ground, gritting their teeth to hold the artillery. Also in this situation, the song "Ho pulled up artillery" by musician Hoang Van was born. The song immediately became widely popular among front office units, taking to the streets to sing artillery to serve the soldiers. . Up to now, the comedy song "Ho pulling the firecrackers" has become an immortal epic about one of the heroic historical periods of our nation. After 11 arduous days and nights, all of our artillery was gathered to a safe area. In 2004, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the historic victory of Dien Bien Phu, our Party and State provided funding to build, restore and embellish the road to pull artillery by hand.

French artillery was also ready and waiting for the opportunity to extinguish any movements that could cause aggression against the base group. But the element of surprise is something they cannot predict. The presence of our heavy artillery on the hillsides surrounding the basin and the construction of perfect camouflaged battlefields brought an unbelievable surprise to the French, for which they had to pay the price with a near collapse. almost completely of the Him Lam stronghold cluster right in the first hours of the campaign.
