Than Dinh Mountain.
Than Dinh Mountain is in Rao Da village, Truong Xuan commune, Quang Ninh district, Quang Binh province. This mountain is also called Bat Nghia Son. About 25km southwest of Dong Hoi City and 3km east of the Ho Chi Minh Highway, this mountain holds many legends about a spiritual realm, once considered a "place of many Buddhas" by ancient people. On the mountain there are many relics of a famous pagoda, related to the story of King Qianlong's bronze bell brought to the pagoda for his past life... From a distance, the mountain looks like a saddle. The mountain is located at an altitude of 405m above sea level and it takes about 40 minutes to climb through 1260 stone steps to reach Non Pagoda (also known as Kim Phong). The pagoda was built in 1701. There exists a stone stele established during the 11th Minh Mang Dynasty (1830) recording about the pagoda. In front of the pagoda there is a well of clear, cool, never-drying water called Fairy well. The well is located right in the middle of four dry rocks, yet it is unknown where the water comes from to keep the well full even in the hottest and driest years. Nowadays, many people from all over the world come to visit the scene of Than Dinh. They do not forget to bring water bottles to take some water from the Fairy well to use, considering it as the quintessential water source from a fairyland with many wishes. Standing on the top of Than Dinh mountain, listening to the howling wind, heard the legend that: Master An Kha practiced at this pagoda (Kim Phong pagoda) since 1694 (Le Huy Tong's reign, Chinh Hoa era, corresponding to the Khang Hy dynasty next door). China), he is a virtuous and talented person, loved by Buddhist monks and nuns in the area. Before passing away, he cut off a little finger and put it in a box to leave for the temple. Strangely enough, the fresh finger never rots. Later, he was reincarnated into a family in China and reincarnated as King Qianlong (1736-1796) (legend has it that King Qianlong was also missing a little finger). King Qianlong had a premonition that in his past life he had a relationship with the pagoda on Than Dinh mountain in Dai Viet, so he sent a bell as a gift, with the words "Thanh Dinh chung" engraved on it. The boat carrying the bell reached the mouth of the Nhat Le River and was unfortunately submerged by a storm. Later, a fisherman from Bo Trach district named Dang Van Tien, while casting his net, caught a bell and brought it to Non pagoda on Than Dinh mountain. I don't know if the legend about the bronze bell given by King Qianlong is true or not. Some people believe that currently the bell of Non Pagoda on Than Dinh Mountain is hanging at Pho Minh Pagoda (in Dong Hoi City). The bell of Pho Minh Pagoda is now real, but no one has confirmed whether it is related to the above legend or not. The entire top of Than Dinh mountain is made up of low, dark gray limestone ranges, bulging like small mountain ranges rising from a large mountain peak, looking very strange. Is that why ancient people used to call Than Dinh Pagoda by another name, Non Pagoda? Than Dinh Mountain has three peaks. Stacked stones remind us that this is an official wearing a dragon-winged hat reading literature. That's an eagle spreading its wings, that's a tiger baring its fangs. The ancient Than Dinh Pagoda now has only mossy, crumbling stone walls left, filled with trees, in the middle of a flat land full of ancient trees. A few small temples located alone on the northern edge of the trees are still quite intact. The scenery of Than Dinh reminds us so much of our ancestors. Than Dinh Mountain has now become an attractive ecological and spiritual tourist destination for tourists. Those who sincerely come to offer incense and drink water from the magic well will have good luck, avoid illness, and have prosperous business all year long.

Tuong Son communal house
Tuong Son Communal House is located right in the center of Quang Long commune, on a relatively high ground, in front of the Mai River (Kenh Kia River) flowing through, then leaning against the sand slope as if embracing Tuong Son village. The history of village communal house construction is associated with the history of construction and development along with the political and social changes that took place in the lands of Quang Long and Quang Trach (feudal time in Dai Dan commune, Thuan Bai district). The communal house was built in the year of Canh Ngo (1750), more than 250 years ago during the reign of King Canh Hung XI. Tuong Son Communal House was initially built to worship and recognize the ancestors who publicly founded Dai Dan village and those who were assigned by the king to "protect the nation and protect the people", later worshiping loyal and patriotic gods. Through the memories of many generations of villagers, Tuong Son communal house was one of the largest communal houses in Quang Binh at that time. The communal house was built and decorated quite elaborately. The communal house includes the courtyard, vestibule and back porch. The communal house yard and vestibule are places where festivals take place and where entertainment, meetings, ceremonies, meetings, and processions of the village take place. The rear communal house is a place to worship the Thanh Hoang and gods who have contributed to the homeland. Tuong Son communal house is a combination of government and theocracy. After the failed suppression of the Can Vuong movement in Quang Trach district (1888), the French colonialists frantically sought revenge. They took advantage of the enmity between pagans and incited Vietnamese traitors masquerading as religion to burn down the village communal house. Although at this time there are only vestiges of the communal house left, the image of the village communal house is still imprinted in the memories of every citizen. With that enthusiasm, in the spring of Nham Ty (1912), the village communal house was started to rebuild on the old communal house foundation according to the architecture of the Nguyen Dynasty. After a year of working together and contributing to the village community, in the spring of the year Quy Suu (1913), the village communal house was completed. In terms of structure, the second rebuilt communal house is basically the same but more massive and perfect. In particular, the exterior perspective decoration as well as the detailed lines and patterns, engraved images of battle elephants engraved on the screen all clearly demonstrate the martial spirit of Tuong Son land. As for the rear communal house, in addition to worshiping the village's Thanh Hoang, it also worships King Quang Trung and famous general Nguyen Dung in the main area, in accordance with the wishes of the people. In 1968, due to the nature of the increasingly fierce war of sabotage by the US imperialists, the communal house was again destroyed by a bomb. It was not until 1993 that the Party Committee and people of Quang Long restored the 3-room back communal house, built of stone, brick, cement, and tiled roof to its current state. However, that work only stopped at restoring the place of worship, not recreating the artistic architecture of the old communal house. Tuong Son Communal House is a historical-cultural work, a convergence of fine traditional cultural activities of the land of Quang Long and a place for transmitting cultural values between generations. The village customs and festivals taking place at the Communal House all focus on reflecting the concepts of worship and expressing the ideology of village farmers in honoring the gods. During the years of campaigning to establish local Party cells, Tuong Son Communal House was the place where communist soldiers traveled and held secret meetings to exchange and propagate the Party's policies and guidelines. During the period leading up to the August Revolution, the village communal house was also the place where rallies of the Viet Minh front took place calling on the masses to rise up to respond to the revolutionary cause of national liberation. On the night of August 19, 1945, at the village communal house, the Commune Uprising Campaign and Steering Committee was established. Here on August 23, 1945, the chief of staff handed over seals and books to the Viet Minh.

Tuong Son Communal House became a gathering place and stopping place for army units, a center for receiving goods and weapons. In addition, the communal house is also a place to store military equipment of company 365, artillery 37, and Quang Trach Hospital is also stationed here. When they discovered the hiding places, the US imperialists focused on fiercely raiding the land of Quang Long, at which time the communal house was destroyed. But with the spirit of all for the front line, all for victory, the Party Committee and people of Quang Long used the remaining wood to make air defense tunnels, ambulance tunnels and most of it was used to build Kenh Kia bridge for vehicles to pass through. .
