The Royal Mausoleum was built in 1826, including the tomb and temple of Mr. Pham Dang Hung, the grandfather of King Tu Duc, the father of Queen Mother Tu Du, wife of King Thieu Tri. At the end of the 16th century, Mr. Pham Dang Long followed his father to the Go Cong area. When he arrived at Go Rua (Son Quy), he saw that the land was very beautiful, but in the entire Go Cong area at that time, there was no place to dig a well with fresh water. Then he discovered underground water at Go Son Quy, so he gathered the graves of three generations here and built a house on this mound. Mr. Pham Dang Hung is the third child of Mr. Pham Dang Long, born in Go Son Quy, in 1764 (now Lang Hoang Gia hamlet, Long Hung commune, Go Cong Town - Tien Giang province). He is an intelligent man, perfect in literature and martial arts. In 1784, at the age of 20, he passed the Tam Truong exam, was appointed by the royal court to be a priest in the Palace, and then was promoted to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In 1824, he was ordained Minister of Rites, and in 1825 he was entrusted with guarding the Hue citadel. In the summer of 1825, Pham Dang Hung fell ill and passed away. His coffin was brought back to his hometown and buried at Go Son Quy. In 1849, he was posthumously awarded the title Duc Quoc Cong by King Tu Duc. He had 4 children who were high-ranking mandarins in the Nguyen Dynasty. King Minh Mang married the princess to his son Pham Dang Thuat and promoted him to the rank of Lieutenant. King Minh Mang also married his daughter Pham Thi Hang (also known as Mrs. Tu Du) to Prince Mien Tong, later King Thieu Tri. The mausoleum was built by Mr. Pham Dang Ta, the eldest son of Pham Dang Hung, on a land area of 3,000 m2, right on the old house of the Pham Dang family. The most talented artisans specializing in building mausoleums and royal palaces from Hue were brought together with local artisans to build unique architectural works, imbued with royal style. In 1849, when King Tu Duc posthumously promoted Pham Dang Hung to the title of Duc National Duke, he restored and expanded the church, built three more steps, three gates, and conferred deities according to royal rituals. Entering from the street, we see the main place where the National Duke Pham Dang Hung is worshiped; The left side worships Phuoc An Marquis Pham Dang Long, the father of Pham Dang Hung; On the right, Binh Thanh worships Pham Dang Dinh; The last one on the left worships My Khanh son Pham Dang Tien, the late grandfather Pham Dang Hung and the right one worships Thiem Su Phu Pham Dang Khoa, the nun Pham Dang Hung. Pham Dang Hung's grave is buried on a high mound shaped like a turtle shell. The tomb was built in the shape of an octagonal pillar top, looking both like a conical hat and a lotus bud. On the back of the tomb, a semicircular screen is built, with 4 dragons carved above and 5 unicorns below. Five great elements become bones - Unicorn walls appear, (Five generations of honor and good things - Auspicious omen of unicorns appear). Around his tomb there are a number of decorative reliefs such as lotus buds, dragon fish... In 1888, King Thanh Thai ascended the throne and prepared to visit the mausoleum so he had it restored. In the year of Khai Dinh 1921, the mausoleum was restored again and in 1998 the church was greatly restored, partly returning the special architectural features for the Royal Family in the famous Go land. On December 2, 1992, the Ministry of Culture and Information recognized the Royal Tombs as a national historical-cultural relic.

Located next to Provincial Road 835 in My Loc commune, Can Giuoc district is a temple that has long been famous in history and literature: Ton Thanh Pagoda - a historical relic that has been ranked level by the Ministry of Culture and Information. National November 27, 1997. Ton Thanh Pagoda was originally called Lan Nha Pagoda and was founded by Zen Master Vien Ngo in 1808. The Zen master's real name is Nguyen Ngoc Dot, son of Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Binh and Mrs. Tra Thi Hue in Thanh Ba village, Phuoc Dien Trung district. Phuoc Loc district. Initially, the Zen master studied at Vinh Quang Pagoda, near Truong Binh market, and was given the Buddhist name Vien Ngo by his master. At that time, the road to Truong Binh market was densely covered with grass and trees, muddy and difficult to walk in. Tigers, leopards, and wild animals often came out to harm people. Seeing this, Zen Master Vien Ngo vowed to cut down trees alone and build a road from Truong Binh market to Tich Duc village and Hoa Thuan ward 250 meters long. In the 7th year of Gia Long's reign (1808), monk Vien Ngo came to Thanh Ba village (now in My Loc commune) to build Lan Nha pagoda - that is the current Ton Thanh pagoda. According to Dai Nam Nhat Thong Chi, this is a famous pagoda with "magnificent, golden pillars" in the ancient land of Gia Dinh. The Zen master also cast a bronze statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to worship in the temple. Legend has it that when the Bodhisattva statue was missing for the first time, Zen Master Vien Ngo cut off one of his fingers and put it in a pot of bronze water so that the statue could be perfect the next time it was cast. He is not only a filial son but also a person full of compassion and charity. When his father was sick, the Zen master swore in front of the Buddha platform that he would "sit" for 10 years to prolong his father's life. In the first year of Minh Mang (1820), in an area with a smallpox epidemic, monk Vien Ngo vowed to "recite sutras and recite Buddha's name and spend his life in isolation" to pray for the people to escape the disaster. In the 5th year of Thieu Tri (1845), he found that he had been a monk for 40 years but had not yet attained enlightenment, so he passed away for 49 days and then passed away. His Dharma body was buried by the monks in the stupa west of Ton Thanh pagoda. In memory of a Zen master who sacrificed his life to bring goodness to sentient beings, people called Ton Thanh Pagoda Tang Ngo Pagoda or Ong Ngo Pagoda. Sixteen years after Zen Master Vien Ngo passed away, Ton Thanh Pagoda entered the country's history with the tribute to the martyr Can Giuoc by blind poet Nguyen Dinh Chieu. During the three years 1859-1861, patriotic scholar Nguyen Dinh Chieu returned to Thanh Ba, using Ton Thanh pagoda as a place to teach, write poetry and make medicine. During the raid on Tay Duong post at Truong Binh market on the full moon night of the 11th month of Tan Du year, one of the three wings of the insurgent army set out from Ton Thanh pagoda, burned the teaching house, and beheaded the second mandarin of Phu Lang Sa. Touched by the altruistic hearts of the "hamlet villagers", poet Nguyen Dinh Chieu composed a famous tribute to the martyr Can Giuoc at Ton Thanh Pagoda. History has preserved the name of this pagoda of Long An through immortal sentences: ''Ton Thanh Pagoda freezes five years, the red heart leaves behind the full moonlight. Don Lang sa for a moment to pay back his anger and regret, his fate drifted with the flowing water''. Having gone through many ups and downs of history, Ton Thanh Pagoda today no longer has the same "magnificent, golden pillars" as before. Instead, it is an architectural complex including the front hall, main hall, lecture hall, east corridor, west corridor with tiled roofs and brick walls. However, Ton Thanh Pagoda still retains its ancient features through the system of four-shaped columns in the main hall, Buddha statues dating from the early 19th century, and gilded lacquered horizontal parallel sentences with Chinese characters. On the right side of Ton Thanh Pagoda, there are still two memorial stele built in 1973 and 1997 to preserve the vestiges of poet Nguyen Dinh Chieu.

The mine bunker on Nui Lon (in Ward 5, Vung Tau City today) was built by the Japanese fascists in 1944. This was the place to store naval weapons of the Japanese army. However, with a courageous fighting spirit, our troops repeatedly broke into mine mines and took enemy weapons to make weapons to fight the enemy. In July 1941, Japan forced France to sign the "Commitment to the Common Defense of Indochina" treaty with Japan. With this treaty, Japan commanded France completely militarily. In October 1941, Japan landed in Vung Tau, quickly occupying an important position on Big Mountain, located at the Vung Tau - Can Gio seaport. From 1941-1945, the Japanese fascist army built many bunkers, underground bunkers, ammunition bunkers, and mines halfway up Big Mountain along the coast, now in Ward 5, Vung Tau City. Although the mine bunker is simply a warehouse used to store Japanese military weapons, it is no less elaborate in its construction. The mine bunker was built in 1944, and was completed after 4 months. The tunnel was built under a discreet mountain valley, built in an arch shape, inside the tunnel is a reinforced concrete wall 1m thick and 2.7m high. The front of the tunnel door is made of stone, 7m high and 20m long. The tunnels are arranged interconnected in a U-shape. The tunnel mainly stores mines and mines for coastal defense, creating an underwater battlefield blocking the Vung Tau-Can Gio estuary. At the end of World War II, Japan surrendered to the Allies, so they removed the mines from the sea, brought them up the mountain, put them in storage bunkers, and planted explosives outside. Japan's defeat on the battlefield created favorable conditions for the Vietnamese revolution to gradually win. During the long and arduous years of resistance against the Japanese and French, Vung Tau's army and people together with the army and people of Bien Hoa and Ba Ria not only defeated the enemy's long raids into war zone D and Sac forest but He also penetrated deep into the enemy's rear and won many glorious battles. During the war, the successful raids on the Nui Lon mine bunker were victories of Vung Tau's army and people. From the Ba Trao area (Nua mountain - Long Son island commune), our armed forces and security forces, relying on the people, have repeatedly broken into ammunition magazines and mine mines on Lon mountain, seizing military equipment and weapons. of the enemy to equip our troops. The mine-taking became a campaign involving hundreds of people, taking place at night and in great secrecy. Our forces are divided into groups: signaling, guarding, removing grenades, transporting mines, raising troops... According to the plan, when there was a signal of smoke and fire, the boats of our army and people in Ba Trao slowly arrived at Ben Da - Vung Tau port to receive and transport weapons taken from the enemy from the mine bunker. The guard group was divided into 2 groups to guard from the top of Ben Da slope and near the area where the Guanyin Buddha statue is now. The grenade removal team will join the special forces, guerrillas, and suicide soldiers of Thang Nhi into the mine bunker, one person will shine the light, the other person will remove the grenade, open the door, and when finished, put the grenade back as before. The group carrying the mines out worked together to climb up the mountainside in the dark night, carry the mines down the mountain, and transfer them straight to the boat and return to safety. The army support team consisted of women and sisters who transported food and lamp oil to everyone participating in the raids. At the end of June 1947, after the enemy army (the French army recaptured for the second time) withdrew from Ben Dinh post, our army and people's raids on mine bunkers became easier. Our forces transported an average of 2 mines out of the bunker at a time, each weighing more than 100kg. During the period from 1945 to 1954, our army secretly took about 60 mines to make bombs and mines as weapons to destroy the enemy. On August 4, 1992, Nui Lon mine bunker was ranked as a National Historical Monument. Source: Ba Ria - Vung Tau electronic newspaper.
