Thay accumulation site, also known as Dao Duy Tu ramparts, is a system of ramparts formed during the Trinh-Nguyen war (1627-1672) in Quang Binh with Truong Duc ramparts in Hien Ninh, Quang district. Ninh, Dau Mau ramparts, Nhat Le ramparts in Dong Hoi city, are ranked as National according to Decision No. 97/Decision dated January 21, 1992 of the Ministry of Culture and Information. (now the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism). Luy Thay also has many other names such as Nhat Le, Dong Hoi, Truong Duc... in Quang Binh province today. King Thieu Tri later called the rampart system the place 'Dinh Bac great wall' to remember his ancestors for maintaining the South. Luy Thay is the name given by the people of Dang Trong to pay tribute to the famous man Dao Duy Tu as a military and political master. This project was started in 1630 after winning the battle with the Trinh army on the banks of the Nhat Le River in 1627. The project aimed to protect and strengthen Dang Trong from the attacks of Lord Trinh in Dang Outside. Next, in 1631, Lord Nguyen continued to send Dao Duy Tu and Nguyen Huu Dat to build Dau Mau ramparts and Nhat Le ramparts (both of these ramparts are collectively called Tran Ninh ramparts). In 1634, Lord Nguyen again built a 7km long Truong Sa rampart to close the Bao Ninh sand cave area. Thus, in more than 3 years, Lord Nguyen completed a system of fortifications nearly 34 km long. This is a continuous rampart system consisting of many floors, layers, and lines and is collectively called Thay rampart. Dai Nam Thuc Luc Tien Bien records: Truong Duc Citadel was built in the style of Hui, so it is also called Luy Hoi Van. Accordingly, the outside is surrounded by a wall, inside are barracks, battle fortifications, and treasures arranged in a Di-shaped pattern closely connected with the outer ramparts. The rampart is 2,500 meters long, one and a half meters wide, and 1 meter high (about 4 meters). Luy Truong Duc is an architectural work that demonstrates the military talent of Dao Duy Tu. In 1648, after failing to attack the Truong Duc ramparts, the Trinh army turned to attack the Vo Xa area and achieved victory. However, when they gained a foothold, they were blocked and attacked by Luu Don's army at Thap Dinh (now still Dinh Muoi commune, Quang Ninh district) and pushed into the Vo Xa swamp, which was a natural swamp along the road. Thien Ly from Quang Binh to Thuan Hoa. Trinh's army got bogged down here. And in the dilemma of not having support from the waterway, they were then forced to withdraw their troops to the North. Because of this event, to this day, people continue to sing the song: "The first is afraid of Luy Thay, the second is afraid of Vo Xa swamp". Two hundred years later, when King Thieu Tri made a pilgrimage through the rampart system, Thay was moved by this majestic rampart system and gave it the name "Dinh Bac Truong Thanh" to remember his ancestors for maintaining the South. Through time and war bombs, the Thay citadel was almost completely damaged. By 1994, the citadel was restored to its original state and recognized by the State as a national monument. Today, Luy Thay still has clear traces on Quach Xuan Ky street and the west of Phu Hai ward, in Dong Hoi city, Quang Binh province and has become a hundred-year mark reminding generations of the time of the Trinh dynasty - Nguyen divided the conflict in Vietnamese history.

The name of hero Nguyen Thi Suot is known throughout the country as a symbol of revolutionary heroism. Her mother's name is associated with historical events in the early days of fighting against the Americans of the army and people of Quang Binh in particular and the whole country in general. It is a vivid and heroic symbol of our nation's determination to defeat the American enemy, to protect national sovereignty. Mother Suot is a typical woman of the land of "two good people", as beloved Uncle Ho praised, "Quang Binh is good at fighting and good at production". Through long years of fighting against the French colonialists and coming to victory. In 1954, not long after peace was restored, the empire started a destructive war. Setting up the Gulf of Tonkin incident, in 1964, the US imperialists began to raid the North, and the Dong Hoi - Quang Binh area was considered by them to be a hotbed, the front line of a large rear, so they focused on raiding. with the most fierce and intense level with the intention of destroying and leveling, turning this place back to the Stone Age. Mother Nguyen Thi Suot was born in Van Chai hamlet, Phu My village (now My Canh hamlet, Bao Ninh commune, Dong Hoi town). Since childhood, I had to go live to take care of myself. My mother's life has been from one rich house to another, working as a hired laborer all year long, all month long, but still miserable. The August Revolution successfully cut off the chains of slavery, liberated the homeland, the nation and liberated her own life. But before we could rejoice, the French colonialists invaded our country again and like the rest of the country, my mother had to continue her miserable and bitter life. When the American invaders waged war to destroy the North, her mother was now 60 years old, but following the call of the revolution, Uncle Ho and the local Party Committee, she understood the miserable life of slavery and the loss of her country. melted as well as imbued with love for the homeland and hatred for the American invaders who destroyed the villages. Mother Suot volunteered to take on a seemingly normal, simple but extremely dangerous job: Carrying a ferry across the Nhat Le River at that time was one of the three important tasks of the 3-room team: prevention and treatment. fire, first aid, transport of wounded soldiers and transportation. Go back in time to the early days of anti-Americanism. That day was Sunday, February 7, 1965 (ie the 6th day of the Lunar New Year), the US Air Force massively attacked and bombarded Dong Hoi town and surrounding areas (they mobilized 160 aircraft). modern jet). Dong Hoi town seemed to be shaking in the smoke and fire of enemy bombs. On the Nhat Le River, black columns of water were thrown up violently by bombs and bullets. Mother Nguyen Thi Suot still proudly held the oar to carry soldiers across the river, transporting ammunition from the shore to our warships to fight back against the enemy. Mother's ferry trips are also a communication line between Dong Hoi town and Bao Ninh. Under the rain of bombs and bullets from the enemy, my mother and the ferry ferried officers, soldiers, and people back and forth between shores. There is no more beautiful image than a mother who is over 60 years old and still defies danger, proudly holding her head high in the face of a series of bombs and bombs that the US always controls and prevents. Those who passed by her mother's boat during those heated hours could not help but admire the courage and courage of a mother who turned hatred into extraordinary actions. And until now, those who directly fought and witnessed the morning of February 7, 1965 still cannot explain and understand why in the midst of Nhat Le river, boiling water and burning bullets, Mother Suot still heroically rushed forward and fought. Completed the mission so excellently: supplying ammunition to our navy to fight back American planes, bringing wounded soldiers to shore, transporting soldiers to the river. Mother Suot's victory and many other silent victories of Dong Hoi's army and people created a resounding miracle in just two days, February 7 and 8, 1965, Dong Hoi's army and people shot down 14 American planes. ; From February 14 to April 28, 1965 - 5 American warships were sunk and set on fire in Nhat Le Sea - opening the brilliant victory of our army and people. After that fierce battle, Suot's mother boat continued to transport officers and soldiers across the river during the days of fighting against the Americans. With her mother's achievements, on January 1, 1967, mother Nguyen Thi Suot was awarded the title of Labor Hero in the resistance war against the US and to save the country by our Party and State. The war became more and more fierce, with painful losses in the South, the US imperialists increased their attacks on the North and Dong Hoi continued to suffer from bombs and bullets. On October 11, 1968, while on duty, Suot's mother heroically died in an enemy bomb attack. Such a vivid picture of revolutionary heroism. That image has been known by the people of Quang Binh and the whole country as a typical example of a heroic Vietnamese mother. The old Mother Cheo wharf became a typical historical relic in Quang Binh during the anti-American period with a loving and respectful name: Mother Suot wharf. Mother Suot wharf relic is located in Trung Binh village, Bao Ninh commune (right bank) and near Dong Hoi fish market (left bank of Nhat Le river). In 1980, to commemorate and appreciate a heroic Mother of the homeland, the People's Committee of Dong Hoi town built the Mother Suot stele in the center of the wharf so that Quang Binh people can visit every day. to be close to the image of Mother. Here, one day in the near future, the Mother Suot monument will be a place for exchanges and cultural activities of local people in the province, a place for children to hang out, and a place for people across the country to celebrate.

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.

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.

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.

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.
