Giac Linh Pagoda is located on a high sand cave in Nhut A hamlet, My Long Bac commune, Cau Ngang district, Tra Vinh province. Giac Linh Pagoda is also called Bat Pagoda because in the past there were many birds living on ancient trees in the temple grounds, including crows and bats, so people took this feature to name the pagoda. Entering the temple gate, on the right is a large statue of Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva, opening his heart of compassion to bring miracles to save sentient beings. Going a few dozen meters further, we will see the temple. The pagoda is built on a high plot of land, surrounded by many types of trees: horsetail, tamanu, bamboo, creating a quiet and sacred look. Entering the temple, we will notice the difference between Giac Linh Pagoda and other Buddhist temples. The Buddha altar does not arrange worship statues in the order: Three Buddhas, Amitabha, and Three Tons as in Mahayana Buddhist temples. The pagoda not only worships Buddha and those related to Buddhism: Bodhisattva, Arhat, but also Confucius, Lao Tzu, and integrates folk beliefs: Ba Chua Xu, Tao Quan, Uncle Tai, Uncle Precious. It is from the way of thinking of monks that Buddhists not only focus on religious matters but also on worldly matters. Compared to other pagodas in terms of construction scale, architectural value, and sculpture, Giac Linh Pagoda is modest. The only thing worth mentioning about the pagoda is the set of wooden panels painted in vermilion and gilded with the theme of the four sacred animals. However, the temple is rich in revolutionary achievements. Since the early years of the 20th century, Linh Son Dien has been a meeting and activity center for patriots fighting against the French in the Thien Dia Hoi organization. In 1922, the province's Red Youth organization was established here, including comrade Duong Quang Dong. Then one of the first three Communist Party Cells of Tra Vinh - My Long Party Cell also chose this location to meet regularly in the early years of its establishment. And in the protest of 300 farmers in 1931 demanding people's livelihood and democracy, banners and hammer and sickle flags flew on the temple fence. In 1934 - 1935, the pagoda was again chosen as the headquarters of the Vinh - Tra - Ben Joint Provincial Party Committee. In the period approaching the August 1945 Revolution, in order to seize the opportunity for the uprising to win, the pagoda witnessed a preparatory meeting to consolidate the Party Committee, convened by comrade Duong Quang Dong. During the resistance war against the French, nun Phung - a monk of the pagoda used the sound of gongs as a signal to summon or disperse revolutionary cadres when meeting or to hide during riots. During the period of resistance against the Americans to save the country, nun Phung became the abbot of the pagoda. Under her monk's robe, she blinded the enemies with pilgrimages to transport weapons to the revolutionary organization. In the years 1966 - 1967, the war was fierce, the southwest side of the temple grounds had a system of trenches over 300 meters long dug to resist enemy operations and raids. Also during this period, based on the quietness of the place of worship and the luxuriance of trees, dozens of secret tunnels were dug in the temple grounds for officials to hide. In particular, the temple also donated the large red bell to the construction site of making weapons to fight the enemy. In 1970, the enemy came and stationed a station next to the pagoda's fence, aiming to control the revolution in the My Long area and also to monitor the monks. Even so, nun Phung still single-mindedly stuck to the pagoda, so that a year later, when we attacked them, they had to abandon the post and flee. Giac Linh Pagoda was recognized by the Ministry of Culture and Information as a national historical and cultural relic on January 24, 1998. This place of Zen where no visitors are allowed is now always open to welcome us to reflect on religion and life. Source: Tra Vinh Tourism Promotion Center

Teakhinasakor Ta Lon Pagoda (Cai Coi) is located in Cai Coi hamlet, Long Vinh commune, Duyen Hai district, Tra Vinh province. During the years of resistance, the pagoda was not only a secret base, a place to harbor and protect revolutionary cadres, but also a place where many political movements originated. Right from the time Long Vinh Commune Party Cell was established (September 4, 1933), the Party Cell discussed with senior monk Trieu Minh Ten to choose the pagoda as a legal base for the revolution, to organize shelter and protect cadres. and open classes for monks and children in the area. Through these classes, in addition to learning literacy and teachings, teachers also propagate the Party's policies and the enemy's sinister plots. Suspecting that Ta Lon Pagoda was a revolutionary base, in 1943, they searched the pagoda but found nothing. They were angry and burned down the main hall and a monk's monastery. The enemy's actions further increased the hatred among monks, Buddhists and the masses here. In 1948, the temple was once again ransacked by the enemy. Just like last time, no evidence was found that the leader of the temple, Prum Yen, ordered soldiers to burn down the main palace. During the anti-American period, under the leadership of Long Vinh Commune Cell, the revolutionary base of Ta Lon Pagoda continuously promoted the tradition of indomitable struggle. In early 1955, the enemy actively terrorized the masses and took revenge on the resistance fighters who caused us some damage. To cope with the situation, the monks of Ta Lon pagoda, despite difficulties, dangers and even their own lives, organized to house cadres right in their own rooms. In 1959, the enemy launched a terrorist operation, brutally bombarding, killing, looting and arresting people they suspected of being "undercover communists". During this campaign, they arrested the monk Son Hien and 4 monks and 3 Buddhists of Ta Lon pagoda. At the end of 1960, at the yard of Ta Lon pagoda, the National Liberation Front of Long Vinh commune was established and introduced before more than 500 public delegates. During the ceremony, there were more than 20 monks led by the second eldest monk Son Thuong. When they returned from secular life, they volunteered to participate in the resistance war for national liberation. In February 1962, unable to carry out their plan to gather people into a strategic hamlet, the enemy put poison into the fresh water source, killing 2 children and a monk at Ta Lon Pagoda. In May 1964, the enemy sent bombers and marines to park at Dinh An estuary and fired artillery shells at Ta Lon pagoda, killing dozens of houses. The pagoda owner, Mr. Son Ruong, died and eight Buddhists were injured. The temple burned down and the main hall partially collapsed. In the years 1965-1968, the enemy launched many sweeping operations and used planes to spray land clearing chemicals and spray Agent Orange. On February 22, 1966, 18 monks and more than 100 Buddhists of the pagoda went to Cai Doi densely packed area to fight with the enemy. The struggle of monks and Khmer compatriots in Long Vinh was supported by monks and Khmer compatriots throughout the province, so they won. With their achievements contributing to the cause of national liberation, the monks and Buddhists of Ta Lon Pagoda were awarded many certificates of merit, orders, and medals by the State. On April 18, 2013, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism recognized Ta Lon Pagoda as a national historical site. Source: Tra Vinh Province Electronic Information Portal

Not only that, Dinh Ran is also the place where Hero of the Armed Forces Nguyen Thi Dinh - aka female general Ba Dinh - started the Dong Khoi movement. There is an anecdote that said that when Ms. Ba Dinh was pointed out by Viet traitors, it was the snake god in Dinh Ran who "protected" Ms. Ba, helping her escape from the enemy's vicious gun barrels... Snake Communal House, also known as Dinh Nhon Communal House, is located in Dinh Thuy commune, Mo Cay district, now Mo Cay Nam, Ben Tre province. Snake Communal House is located on a small, isolated road, with spindly eucalyptus trees planted on both sides of the road. According to the people here, in the early 18th century, the four families Nguyen, Phan, Trinh, and Vo were considered the ones who explored this land. This place used to be deserted, with few people and many wild animals. So, when they arrived in this land, the elders built a small temple to worship Mr. Ho. Not long after the temple was established, more and more residents in the area came to admire and worship. The village elders here recently asked to establish a village and named it Dinh Phuoc village. The small temple was built into Snake Communal House. It is called Snake Communal House because in the past there were many high mounds here where many snakes lived. Every time the day comes to worship the temple, the snake appears and disappears for a moment. The offering is left behind after the offering, then the snake comes and takes it away. Since then, the lives of people in the area have become better, crops have always been bountiful, and villagers have been healthy. In the past, in front of the communal house gate, there was a pair of big snakes. That pair of snakes did not harm the people in the area but only ate the meat of beasts, lobsters, and leopards. People in the area call it "Mr. and Mrs. Snake". After the day of national unification, that pair of snakes was no longer seen. In early 1960, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Dinh, known to coconut people as Ms. Ba Dinh, secretly together with the leaders of the Ben Tre Provincial Party Committee, went to Snake communal house to have a meeting to discuss Dong Khoi day. The news leaked out and reached the ears of the Republic of Vietnam regime. The Ngo family immediately sent an army led by a security lieutenant to ambush the Snake temple to capture the revolutionary soldiers. Many soldiers were afraid of the "Snake God" and did not dare to go. A bit confused, the Lieutenant carried a lot of grenades with him so that when he encountered the giant "Mr. and Mrs. Snake" he would blow them up. "My soul is broken", when I was almost able to capture Ms. Ba Dinh, suddenly a soldier screamed wildly, thinking he had seen "Mr. and Mrs. Snake". The soldier pulled out the grenade pin, intending to throw it to "Mr. and Mrs. Snake", but for some reason, he threw it back at his comrades. The soldiers were excited that the other soldier must have been possessed by the "Snake God". The Lieutenant Commander was also seriously injured and a few days later was bitten by a poisonous snake and died. Puppet soldiers attempted to sabotage Snake communal house. But because they were afraid to go near the communal house, they used bombs and grenades to destroy the sacred communal house. Although desolate and dilapidated, Snake Communal House is still a sacred land that surrounded revolutionary soldiers during the years of bloody and horrifying resistance. In 1993, the Ministry of Culture and Information recognized Snake communal house as a national historical and cultural relic. Source: Compilation of People's Electronic Newspaper

Originally a cunning drunkard of the French colonialists, Tran Tu Ca was led by a group led by Mr. Phan Van Hon (Quan Hon) and Nguyen Van Qua (Chanh Lanh Binh) of nearly 1,000 insurgents who came to burn the District Palace, captured and head cut off in the middle of the market. That was February 8, 1885, At Dau Tet. Afterwards, Hoc Mon District Palace was rebuilt with a blue stone foundation, brick walls, and a defense system from the upper floors to the fence. The architecture is similar to the Military Fort, so the locals call it Hoc Mon Fort. Tran took over from Tran Tu Ca as Governor of Ngon district, moving to Tra District and then Tho District.

On June 4, 1930, around 6 a.m. in front of the District Palace, hundreds of Hoc Mon people protested demanding "abolition of poll tax, reduction of license and market taxes, and granting land to poor farmers." Tra District invited the leaders into the Palace to negotiate, but they cunningly arrested them, including Mr. Le Van Uoi (Secretary of Tan Thoi Nhi Commune), who was the leader of the protest. People were undaunted and fiercely demanded that Tea District release those detained. The protest group became more and more crowded, the fighting spirit spread somewhat, causing Tra District to give in. On the one hand, they released the detained people, on the other hand, they called the officials in Saigon for help. 2 hours later, the struggle was led by two men, Blachole and Nobbot, who opened fire on the protest group, causing many casualties. But the most impressive historical event at Hoc Mon District Palace was the Southern Uprising on November 23, 1940. Hoc Mon Fort is very solid, built of green stone like a fortress, about 15 meters high, has a gun emplacement and a defense system with battlements guarded by a platoon of green soldiers. On November 22, 1940, France reinforced one more platoon to deal with the situation.

Immediately this army was ordered to pull back to Hoc Mon. The Long Tuy Thuong army was commanded by Mr. Bui Van Hoat. The army of General Long Tuy Trung was commanded by Mr. Do Van Day and Le Binh Dang. At around 24:00 on the night of November 22, 1940, the sound of artillery fire had not yet been heard in Saigon. 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).

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.

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.

Another equally humiliating event for the US Embassy was the chaotic escape that occurred on April 29 and 30, 1975 by the US and its accomplices. Faced with the rapid attack of the Vietnamese army and people in the historic Ho Chi Minh campaign, over 1,000 Americans and more than 5,000 pro-American Vietnamese jostled, pushed, and kicked each other to compete for a place on the terrace of the building. building to be rescued by helicopter.
