Deo Van Long mansion is located in Le Loi commune, Sin Ho district, Lai Chau province. According to the 1983 survey results of the Department of Culture and Information of Lai Chau province, this project began construction in 1916. The documents left behind about the mansion and the Deo family are still very primitive, but They all believe that all the work of choosing the direction, choosing the location for the main gate, the shrine, and the Dam house (ancestral church) were carefully considered by the Deo family, who hired a geographer. Two architects, one French and one Chinese, were invited to design and supervise, and materials were brought from the lowland provinces. Therefore, the architecture of the mansion has Western features blending Eastern looks, and is also a characteristic of Thai construction art and feng shui. The mansion has an area of about more than 1 hectare. Due to the need for defense, welcoming Indochina Government officials and to satisfy their luxurious lifestyle, the Deo family gathered people, soldiers, and workers for the job. Build a villa complex, located in a critical location, at the junction where the Da River, Nam Na River and Nam Lay Stream meet. Behind the mansion is a high mountain, in front is a confluence of rivers (Da River, Nam Na River and Nam Lay Stream) that can control the road to Phong Tho, Muong Te and down to Hoa Binh, Son La, as well as For example, through Dien Bien to Laos, the terrain is suitable for defending and fighting against the enemy. If they fail, they can retreat safely. In 1918, the mansion was completed with 8 main units: Main gate, Dam house, dining room, swing house, water tower, prisoner cellar, forest ghost shrine and another house with L-shaped face ( unknown purpose). In addition, there are a number of other supporting works such as surrounding walls, side gates, driveways leading to the main gate, long and narrow steps leading down to prisoners' cellars, granaries, boat docks, and cemeteries. The main house is built with two floors of red bricks, wooden floors, and a tiled roof separated from stone slabs, often called black stone (when first separated, the soft stone can be cut with a knife, but when exposed to sunlight, the stone will hard as porcelain). Surrounding the castle is a wall over 3m high, built of 40 to 50cm thick slate, very sturdy, with many battlements on the wall to observe the outside. In front of the main house, there is a large yard for dancing when Deo Van Long holds parties and receives guests. It can be said that the palace complex is an "impregnable fortress" of the Thai king. Speaking of Deo Van Long, he is the second son of Deo Van Tri and a lord of the Thai Autonomous Region in the Indochina Federation. The Deo family comes from an aristocratic lineage in Yunnan (China). They are not reactionaries but have lived together in harmony on the land of Lai Chau for a long time. In the late 19th century, responding to the Can Vuong movement, the Deo family stood side by side with the Black Flag insurgents to defend Son Tay and achieved many victories. However, after huge losses in the decisive battle along with suspicion and lack of internal unity, Deo Van Tri signed a permanent ceasefire treaty with the French army. Protected by the French Government, supported with money and weapons, France restored Deo Van Tri to govern the land of Sipsong Chuthai (12 Thai lands). In 1908, Deo Van Tri died, handing over military power to his son Deo Van Khang. After Khang died, Deo Van Long replaced his brother to take power. From here, with his brutal nature, Deo Van Long spread terror to the people in the area. In addition to sending soldiers to plunder and loot the wealth of the people in the area, the Thai king also built large boats, using the Da River as the main transportation axis to transport forestry and land products that he had robbed from the local people. They went to the lowlands to sell opium, tiger skins, leopard skins, bear bile, etc. then brought the goods up to sell to local people. After the liberation of Lai Chau town (1952), Deo Van Long fled to France in exile, and the mansion was destroyed by the people. Up to now, the entire mansion has become ruins, many buildings have been completely lost and the original architectural shape cannot be determined. In 1980, the Deo Van Long mansion was decided by the People's Committee of Lai Chau province to be classified as a provincial relic and included in the restoration plan. However, since 2010, the Son La hydroelectric project has accumulated water, part of Deo Van Long's mansion has been permanently sunk into the river bed, leaving only a few ruins.

Cloud Temple is located in Dang Chau village - Lam Son ward - Hung Yen town - Hung Yen province. Cloud Temple worships general Pham Phong At, also known as Pham Bach Ho, a talented general of our country in the early period of the era of independence and self-reliance (early 10th century to early 11th century). According to "Dai Nam Nhat Thong Chi", Pham Bach Ho was born on January 10, the year of Canh Ngo (910), his father was Pham Lenh Cong from the Nam Sach Giang route (now Kim Thanh - Hai Duong). Lenh Cong had a large shop in Dang Chau - Kim Dong - Hung Yen (now Xich Dang - Lam Son - Hung Yen). Legend has it that his mother dreamed of Son Tinh and a White Tiger and got pregnant, so she named him White Tiger. When White Tiger grew up, he had a muscular body, strong like a tiger, smarter than others, and perfect in literature and martial arts. Pham Bach Ho used to be the chief of Dang Chau and was a talented general of Duong Dinh Nghe. In the year of Tan Mao 931, he helped the general to expel Ly Tien, governor of Giao Chau; Defeated Tran Bao sent by Duong Minh Tong to rescue him, then proclaimed himself a military governor. When Kieu Cong Tien, a general of Duong Dinh Nghe, killed the general, took the position and asked for help from the Southern Han army to invade our country. Pham Bach Ho coordinated with Ngo Quyen to bring troops to destroy Kieu Cong Tien and defeat the Southern Han army on the Bach Dang River in the year of Mau Tuat (938). When Ngo Quyen died, Duong Tam Kha usurped the throne, Pham Bach Ho and Do Canh Thac overthrew Duong Tam Kha and Ngo Xuong Van, Ngo Quyen's son, ascended the throne. This period was called Later Ngo Vuong. In 965, the King of Later Ngo died, and the country's heroes rose to fame in each region. Pham Bach Ho occupied Dang Chau and was one of the twelve warlords at that time. In 968, King Van Thang - Dinh Bo Linh was given full military authority by warlord Tran Lam and quelled the "12 Warlords' Rebellion". Pham Bach Ho led his troops to surrender and was appointed as the bodyguard of a Great General. On November 16, the year Nham Than (972), Pham Bach Ho died in his hometown, at the age of 62. Dinh Tien Hoang decreed for the people to build a temple, and all dynasties awarded him the title: "Khai Thien protects the country, the most sacred spirit". Legend has it that the god is very sacred. In the past, King Le Ngo Trieu (also known as Le Long Dinh), when he had not yet ascended the throne, had a hamlet in Dang Chau and often went boating. One day, when it rained heavily, Long Dinh sought shelter and saw a temple on the riverbank. He asked the villagers: "What god is the temple worshiping?" sacred?” said that "this is the support of a continent, the ceremony of praying for rain and stopping is very suitable". Vuong then said loudly: "If God can make wind and rain, then try to make this side of the river stop and the other side of the river rain. That would be truly sacred!" After saying that, it was true that half of the river on the other side was raining very heavily, and half of the river on the other side was very heavy. This is the only cool breeze. Long Dinh did not get wet, so it was surprising that he ordered the temple to be repaired. Over time, the Cloud Temple has been restored and remodeled many times. Today, the temple's architecture still features the carving art of the Later Le and Nguyen dynasties. The temple was built in the Tam style including: front altar, middle temple and back palace. The altar hall with 3 compartments is made in the style of gabled walls and the roof is covered with funny-shaped tiles.

In the temple, there are still 27 statues, most of which were created during the Le Dynasty, two palanquins and a very precious bronze incense burner. Every year, the Cloud Temple festival is held at two different times: January from the 8th to the 16th (lunar calendar) is the birthday celebration festival; From November 12 to 18 (lunar calendar) is the festival commemorating the transformation day of General Pham Bach Ho.

When the pagoda was completed, Phuong Cai villagers could not afford to pay the workers. Le Hoan taught that "If any village has enough money to pay workers, the pagoda belongs to that village." At that time, the villagers of Ne Chau asked for help from Ms. Nguyen Thi Ngoc Thanh's family, so they were able to pay the workers, and the pagoda belonged to Ne Chau village from then on. Le Hoan loved the beautiful Ngoc Thanh so he married her. During this time, she contributed her efforts, helping the insurgents hide food and provisions, and taking care of logistics. Defeating the enemy, Le Hoan ascended the throne, but she did not follow the king to Hoa Lu but asked to stay in her homeland to take care of her elderly parents. After her death, the king built a temple opposite Ne Chau pagoda and ordained her as "Queen Ngoc Thanh".

On both sides of the gable there are two tall bronze columns, on the top of the columns are two cows facing each other. Above, in the middle of the roof, there are three Chinese characters "Thuy Ung Tu" embossed. All decorative patterns in the Tien Duong house are carved with images of two dragons flanking the moon and stylized flowers and leaves, imbued with the culture of the Le Dynasty. The Upper Palace's architecture resembles Tien Duong. Inside the Upper Palace, there are beautiful worship statues with high sculptural artistic value, among which the Tam The and Tuyet Son statues stand out. The statue of Tam The is carved from wood, in a meditating position on a lotus flower, with a kindly smiling face. The lotus faces are engraved with images of flowers and some Buddhist stories. Notably, all three Tam The statues lean back on a wooden leaf shaped like a tablet. Unlike the Tam The statue, the Tuyet Son statue is carved in a contemplative sitting position, with both hands clasped on the knees. This is an ancient statue from the Le Dynasty, the embodiment of Shakyamuni Buddha during his cultivation period on Tuyet Son Mountain. The two corridors of Ne Chau Pagoda are located symmetrically, with hundreds of statues with different postures and facial expressions, fully depicting Buddhist stories. Particularly, the temple dedicated to Mrs. Nguyen Thi Ngoc Thanh (located opposite Ne Chau Pagoda) has a Dinh-style architecture including 3 pre-sacrificing rooms and 2 back palace rooms. The temple has a lotus-shaped architectural structure, carved with stylized patterns, bearing the architectural style of the Nguyen Dynasty.

Complete liberation of the People of 18 Betel Garden Villages. After defeating Chi Hoa Fort, the French colonialists built a 3-storey wooden house here to use as a military post. When Tran Tu Ca took office as Governor of the Palace, he used the Station as the Palace of Binh Long district. 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.

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.

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). Although the attack on Hoc Mon Fort (later called Hoc Mon District Palace) failed, it left a deep impression in the hearts of all civilians admiring the courage of revolutionary soldiers in the fight against colonialism. steal the country.

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.
