The K20 revolutionary base is considered a symbol of the resilient and indomitable revolutionary spirit of the people of Da Nang in general and of Ngu Hanh Son district in particular during the resistance war against the US to save the country. The name K20 - is the code name to refer to the Da Man revolutionary base, where the District III Party Committee and the Da Nang City Party Committee are stationed to lead the revolutionary movement. In 1965, the situation in Da Man and Bac My An in particular, and Da Nang city in general, was extremely complicated. The US began sending troops into the South, implementing the "Local War" strategy, building many large military bases in the South, including Da Nang. The US goal is to build Da Nang into a military base that combines the Navy, Army, and Air Force in a solid, long-term manner, located in the North; protect the capital of the puppet puppet regime in the South, so the US built more bridges across the Han River, built a helipad in Nuoc Man, expanded and strengthened Da Nang airport and sent 17 orders. The American and Wei Dynasty arrived in Da Nang. For the US, this is a very important place, with facilities concentrated for the war in the Central region. As for us, the K20 revolutionary base is located in Da Man 5 residential area, Khue My ward, Ngu Hanh Son district, about 10 km southeast of Da Nang city; The Northeast borders the sea, the West is the Han River, the South is sunken fields and the Vinh Dien River; At the same time, it is adjacent to Hoa Vang district and Da Nang city, and is a gateway to block and protect the city from the Southeast. After the Geneva Accords, the United States and Ngo Dinh Diem's lackey government built many posts around Da Man Base to form a closed military belt and an evil government apparatus to restrain the people. people and prevent revolutionary forces from entering. That's why Da Man is considered a buffer zone for our soldiers, officers and guerrillas to use as a springboard to attack US and Puppet bases. That shows that K20 has an important strategic position in the resistance war against the US to save the country. The "steel" land to build and develop the revolutionary struggle movement right in the heart of the enemy, the connection point between the local revolution and the surrounding areas of the city and Quang Nam province and an important springboard for Our armed forces raided enemy military bases. Also since 1965, Party cadres, all levels, branches and armed forces who came to the inner city of Da Nang to direct the revolutionary movement all passed through and stayed at Nuoc Man base, operating right in the enemy's heart. to continue building the base, destroy evil, support the people fighting for civil rights and democracy in the city, protect the safety of Nuoc Man base, and take partial control of surrounding areas such as Ma Da, Da Phuoc, My Thi. The question is, right in the heart of the enemy, how can revolutionary cadres keep secrets and fight within the enemy's siege? At this time, relying on the people is considered a vital issue of the revolution and answers that urgent question. An underground battlefield was formed, which was a system of sturdy secret tunnels and trenches dug right in people's houses. In 1968, the District Party Committee of District III led by comrade Dang Hong Van instructed the people on the model of secretly digging tunnels, creating a network of underground tunnels in the village to hide revolutionary cadres. Hundreds of households actively dig tunnels day and night, forming a tight system. Each such cellar housed four to five revolutionary cadres. Although the enemy launched many raids in the village to destroy the core force, they were unable to detect it. Tunnels are dug everywhere in the house, under the bed, in the garden, on the porch... creating a solid fortress. Da Man created a revolutionary battlefield right underground during that time. The cellars were made very elaborately by the people. The tunnel mouth and entrance are very narrow, but the inside is wide enough for revolutionary cadres to do their daily activities. In addition to the main tunnel mouth, there is also a fake tunnel mouth. If there is a henchman to point out, the people will smash the mouth of the tunnel, pretending to be bricks and stones, falling down to cover the mouth of the main tunnel, both deceiving the enemy and signaling the soldiers to escape. The highlight of the secret fortification system built in K20 during this period is its high mobility and large scale. In many families, or between neighboring families, there are connecting branch tunnels that can hide many people at the same time, creating a continuous situation that is very convenient for movement, avoiding the discovery of appeared, swept away the enemy. An underground battlefield was built with a dense system of secret bunkers, sometimes up to 157 bunkers. Currently, there are still a number of secret vaults left in churches such as Mr. Huynh Phien's church, Mrs. Nhieu's church, Huynh clan's church and Mr. Huynh Trung's house. These four locations have been ranked as historical relics in the K20 National Historic Site area. Thanks to this secret tunnel system combined with revolutionary self-awareness and solidarity for the goal of liberating the homeland, the K20 army and people have achieved many glorious victories. Typically, the battle at Nuoc Man airport on October 28, 1965 was carried out by the armed forces of Da Nang City. Successfully organizing the memorial ceremony for President Ho Chi Minh, in the midst of enemy siege, the ceremony was still held very solemnly, solemnly and safely as if it were taking place in a liberated area. In particular, on the morning of March 29, 1975, the K20 people coordinated with the Quang Da armed forces to simultaneously rebel and attack all US and puppet facilities in the area. At 9:00 a.m., the flag of the National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam was planted at Nuoc Man airport, signaling the complete victory of the army and civilians in the base area, contributing to the excellent completion of the cause of national liberation. with the role and function of a resistance base inside the enemy.

Hoi An Covered Bridge is located on Nguyen Thi Minh Khai street, Minh Khai ward, Hoi An ancient town. Covered Bridge was built across a small branch of the Thu Bon river, connecting Nguyen Thi Minh Khai street and Tran Phu street, the main roads of Hoi An ancient town. The main components of the Covered Bridge include 2 parts: the pagoda and the bridge. The pagoda has an area of about 60 square meters and was built to worship Northern Emperor Tran Vo. The bridge has an area of 75m2 and is about 18m long. There is a legend about Covered Bridge that explains why it was divided into two parts. In the 17th century, Japanese merchants pooled money to build a bridge that symbolized the image of a sword piercing the back of the monster Namazu (a monster that often swings its tail to create earthquakes). to be able to control it and keep life peaceful. After a while, a pagoda was built on the northern side of the bridge, so the new bridge was called Chua Cau. In 1719, Lord Nguyen Phuc Chu visited Hoi An and named the bridge "Lai Vien Kieu", meaning "Bridge to welcome guests from afar". In particular, in 1990, Covered Bridge was recognized by the state as a national historical-cultural relic and its image is depicted on Vietnam's current 20,000 VND polymer banknote. The space of the Pagoda on the Bridge is quite small. First-time visitors may be surprised because we still call it the Bridge Pagoda but do not worship any Buddha. The pagoda is located in a small corner on the bridge, with the door built according to Chinese cultural architecture and carved with many sophisticated motifs. In the middle of the pagoda is a statue of Northern Emperor Tran Vo general made of wood, with the desire to pray for peace and tranquility for the surrounding residents. Hoi An Bridge Pagoda was built by Japanese merchants around the 17th century, so you can sometimes hear people call it the Japanese bridge. However, overall, you will clearly feel the three cultural streams of China - Japan - Vietnam skillfully mixed to create the Covered Bridge. The yin-yang style roof is a common feature of ancient houses in Hoi An. Right at the door are two sacred beast statues, a monkey statue and a dog statue, with the meaning of standing and preventing monsters from attacking and entering the Covered Bridge. These statues are made from jackfruit wood with delicate and extremely vivid sculptures, and in front of each statue is an incense burner. The pillars and columns inside the bridge are carved in extremely detailed and sophisticated detail, clearly showing the aesthetics and worship beliefs of the people of the old town in the past. Thanks to that, coming here you can feel the hustle and bustle of the past as well as the worship of the gods, the strong belief in the power of the gods to protect and protect them. overcome difficulties or evil spirits. On February 17, 1990, Covered Bridge was recognized as a National Historical - Cultural Monument. Source: Quang Nam Tourism Newspaper

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).
