Ben Thanh market

The history of Ben Thanh Market is associated with the ups and downs of Saigon - Cho Lon urban area. The market was built in 1912 and has undergone many restorations and relocations to get its current appearance and position. Initially, the market was located on the bank of Ben Nghe River, where there was a river wharf for soldiers and people to enter and exit Gia Dinh citadel (Quy Thanh, Bat Quai citadel), so it was called Ben Thanh Market. After the uprising of Le Van Khoi (1833-1835), Gia Dinh citadel was demolished, Ben Thanh Market was also deserted. After the French attacked Saigon (February 1859), the market was completely burned down. In 1860, the French rebuilt Ben Thanh Market at the old location. After many restorations, the market gradually became more spacious with a system of brick columns, iron ribs, tiled roofs, etc. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the French rebuilt the new Ben Thanh Market at today's location between 1912 and 1914, with the iconic clock attached to the south door. In front of the main door (south door) is Ben Thanh Market Roundabout, also known as Dien Hong Square, Quach Thi Trang Square... In 1952, when renovating the market, 12 bas-reliefs of the Bien Hoa fine arts workshop were installed at the four market doors. Since then, the image of Ben Thanh Market has become familiar and close, becoming an urban cultural memory of the city. Source: Ho Chi Minh City Law Electronic Newspaper

turtle Lake

Turtle Lake in the center of Ho Chi Minh City is officially called International Construction Site, which is the intersection of Pham Ngoc Thach, Tran Cao Van and Vo Van Tan streets. There are many restaurants, bars, and cafes around the lake, so this area is always bustling from morning to night. The original location of Turtle Lake in 1790 was the Kham Khuyet citadel gate of Bat Quai citadel (also known as Quy citadel) built by order of King Gia Long. However, after the rebellion of Le Van Khoi (1833-1835), King Minh Mang destroyed Bat Quai citadel and built a smaller citadel named Phung citadel (Gia Dinh citadel). The location of Kham Khuyet gate became a point outside the citadel and directly connected the road outside the west side of the citadel to the river wharf (Road No. 16 - Catinat and now Dong Khoi). After capturing Saigon in 1859, the French destroyed the entire Gia Dinh citadel. In 1878, a water tower was built at the location of Turtle Lake today to serve the needs of providing drinking water for residents in the area. By 1921, the water tower was demolished and the road was expanded to Mayer Street (now Vo Thi Sau Street). From then on, this location became the intersection of routes as it is today. Also at this location, the French built a bronze monument of three soldiers with a small lake, to mark the invasion and symbolize the French mastery of Indochina. Therefore, people often call it Ba Hinh Construction Site. These monuments existed until 1956 when they were demolished by the Government of the Republic of Vietnam, leaving only a small lake. The intersection was also renamed Soldier Field. After the French withdrew from Vietnam, the Soldiers' Construction site became a traffic circle of Duy Tan (now Pham Ngoc Thach) and Tran Quy Cap (now Vo Van Tan - Tran Cao Van) streets. The time when Turtle Lake was built has not been determined exactly, but some documents say it was built in 1965-1967. The designer is architect Nguyen Ky. In the years 1970 to 1974, Turtle Lake was restored and embellished by the government of the Republic of Vietnam. This includes the addition and adjustment of 5 tall concrete columns shaped like five hands spreading out like flower petals supporting a pistil. This new project also includes a traffic circle with a diameter of nearly 100 meters, decorated with green trees and a large octagonal fountain with 4 spiral walkways leading to the central area and the shape of the lake. alloy turtle statue on the back of a large stone stele. Therefore, the folk name is Turtle Lake. Initially, this intersection was named Freedom Fighters Construction Site, and in 1972 it was renamed International Construction Site. However, in early 1976, the stele and the turtle were destroyed in an explosion. Although the turtle was no longer there, people were still familiar with the old name instead of the official name. Due to its rather strange architecture, Turtle Lake is associated with the legend of protecting the dragon's veins of President of the Republic of Vietnam Nguyen Van Thieu. According to author Huynh Ba Thanh's account in the book The Turtle Lake Case (Tuoi Tre Publishing House 1982), there is an oral anecdote that in 1967 when General Nguyen Van Thieu became president of the Republic of Vietnam, invited a famous Chinese feng shui master to examine the situation at the Independence Palace. This feng shui master praised the palace for being built on a dragon vein. This dragon has its head located right at the Independence Palace (so the Independence Palace is also called the Dragon Head Palace) and its tail is located at the Soldiers' Square. Although prosperous, the dragon's tail often struggled, so his career was not sustainable. It was necessary to cast a large turtle to restrain the dragon's tail from struggling, in order to maintain the presidential position for a long time. Therefore, Mr. Nguyen Van Thieu listened and built an octagonal lake, modeled after the eight trigram formation, a feng shui symbol often used to ward off ancient people, and placed a large turtle. cast in bronze right in the middle of the lake. For that reason, many people believe that the tall tower architecture resembles the shape of a sword or a giant nail hammered into the lake to hold the dragon's tail, and the lake grounds are shaped like a bagua, with a yin and yang shape in the middle. .

Chi Hoa detention camp

Chi Hoa Prison, also known as Chi Hoa Prison, located in District 10, Ho Chi Minh City, is a prison built by the French in 1943 to replace the Saigon Prison at the corner of Ly Tu Trong - Nam Ky Khoi Nghia streets. The project is said to have been initiated by the Japanese after the French coup to detain prisoners, but when construction was not completed, they withdrew from Vietnam. After that, the French continued the unfinished work. Almost all materials such as cement, iron, and steel were shipped from France. On March 8, 1953, when the Chi Hoa Prison was completely built, the Saigon Grand Prison was demolished. In addition to some released prisoners, the remaining about 1,600 people and the guillotine were transferred to Chi Hoa Prison. With an area of ​​7 hectares, Chi Hoa Clinic has 3 floors and 238 rooms. There are two rows of houses for female prisoners. This place used to hold political prisoners against the French colonialists and the Republic of Vietnam regime. Today, this place is reserved by Ho Chi Minh City Police for defendants in cases in the area. Chi Hoa Temple was designed and built by a Japanese architect according to the five elements and eight trigrams theory and is considered a special architectural work. It harmonizes the basic characteristics of French architecture: solid, discreet, cool, while also carrying the mysterious yin and yang of the five elements of the East. The examination has an octagonal shape with 8 equal sides and 8 corners representing the 8 hexagrams: Can, Khon, Chan, Ton, Can, Kham, Doai, Ly in the I Ching. The prison has 8 prison cells, built in a square octagon. Some research documents say that Ho Chi Hoa was built based on the eight trigrams of Confucius Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period. The 8 hexagrams correspond to the 8 battle gates: Retirement - Birth - Thuong - Do - Canh - Death - Kinh - Khai. Each side of the trigram formation is a zone, the back is sealed on the outside while the inside is full of iron bars and each zone has 4 prison cells. Chi Hoa has only one entrance, so people call it "death's door". Through this door is a tunnel system designed according to the palace. If not guided, the person entering will be disoriented, like falling into a maze, unable to find their way out. In the middle of Kham Chi Hoa is a large octagonal yard divided into 8 small triangles, with many trees and a clean and airy lawn. In the middle is a guard tower more than 20 meters high, on top is a water tank bulging like a sword stuck straight down. Standing here, the guards can easily observe all the cells. With the architecture of Chi Hoa's eight trigram formation, once prisoners enter here, it will be difficult for them to escape. History so far has only had 3 successful prison escapes. The first case is the revolutionary soldiers at the time of the Japanese coup against France in 1945, the second is the bandit general Dien Khac Kim in 1972 and the third is the notorious death row prisoner Phuoc "Eight Fingers" in 1995. For a long time, Chi Hoa Examination has been associated with mysterious anecdotes. It is rumored that the guard post in the middle of the cemetery is the sword guard. No matter how cunning the criminals are, all their tricks here will be neutralized by this "spiritual" sword. This sword is the "heart" of the building. If it is pulled up, the entire "arrangement" will break. Another thrilling story that is still passed down by word of mouth is that because many people died in Chi Hoa Prison, the negative atmosphere here was very heavy. Therefore, heaven often sends thunder and lightning to break a corner to open a door of birth, allowing resentment to escape and the dead to escape. There was information that the government of the Republic of Vietnam had brought back a very skilled geography teacher to partially solve this "battle". In fact, one of the eight roofs of the octagon has been leveled, breaking the perfection of the "eight trigrams", according to heaven's will, opening a door of Birth for souls to fly away. Meanwhile, some scientists believe that underneath the building there may be an ore mine that causes lightning to often hit Kham Chi Hoa. On the grounds of Chi Hoa Prison, there is also a church (today used as the Camp Hall) built by the French as a place to "baptize" prisoners before being executed. In addition, to free the "negative energy", in 1954, the prison warden of Chi Hoa Prison built a temple outside the "eight trigrams" (but still within the prison grounds) to place a Buddha statue. Later, the temple no longer existed, the Buddha statue now lies on a small lake. Source: Vietnamese newspaper

Cho Quan Hospital Detention Center

Cho Quan Hospital (now Tropical Diseases Hospital) is the oldest hospital in Saigon, completed in 1864. The hospital specializes in treating infectious diseases and mental illnesses. Due to the need to treat mental illness, a separate area was built in the hospital to house mentally ill patients. That patient confinement area has now become a cultural and historical relic. During the invasion of our country, the French colonialists arrested and brutally tortured many revolutionary soldiers and patriots. Because they needed to exploit information, they took the prisoner to the mental patient ward of Cho Quan hospital for both moderate treatment and continued questioning. Since then, the prison for mentally ill patients has become a place to detain sick prisoners. In 1931, comrade Tran Phu - the first General Secretary of the Indochina Communist Party, now the Communist Party of Vietnam, was detained by the French colonialists and breathed his last breath here. On April 18, 1931, comrade Tran Phu was arrested at 66 Champagne Street (now Ly Chinh Thang Street) - the Party's printing agency. After detaining and brutally torturing comrade Tran Phu in many different detention camps, they transferred him to Saigon Large Prison to prepare for trial. At this time, comrade Tran Phu's health was increasingly deteriorating. The French colonialists wanted to maintain his life to exploit the Party's secrets, so on August 26, 1931, they took him to the detention center at Cho Quan hospital for treatment. On September 6, 1931, comrade Tran Phu breathed his last breath here. The comrade's body was placed in his personal room. Comrades in the prison held a memorial service for their comrades in this room. All political prisoners in the prison stood along the hallway to see off comrade Tran Phu - the first General Secretary of the Party. In addition to comrade Tran Phu, during the two resistance wars against the French and the Americans, many other revolutionary soldiers such as Tran Nao, Ha Huy Tap, Tran Bach Dang, and Nguyen Van Troi were also detained in this prison area. . Today, the prison area in Cho Quan hospital is open to welcome visitors. The relics still bear traces of shackles and shackles under the colonial regime; as well as the imprints of the indomitable and indomitable fight of revolutionary soldiers with bloody fighting slogans still clearly visible on the walls. From the hospital gate, entering the prison area, on the right side, the architectural plan of the prison area is U-shaped. The horizontal row of the U-shape is 32m long and 12m wide. Two equal vertical rows, each 14m long and 7.5m wide. Outside, in front of the prison door, there is a small guard room with a tiled roof. Surrounded by a 2.5m high brick wall. Entering from the prison door, first is a large cell, holding about 20 people. Next are 2 large cells and 2 small cells. In the middle of the walkway, an additional wall was built from the door to the end of the block, separating the cells on the left and right. To the left of the prison door, 10.5 meters away, are two equal cells, each room 10.75 meters wide. Near the end of the row there are 2 small individual cells, with an iron net on the roof. At the end of the row there are 3 small bathrooms. In general, the prison area in Cho Quan hospital is a fairly intact historical relic. In recent years, District 5 has invested nearly 700 million VND to restore the first phase of the monument, making it one of the places for political activities and traditional education for the young generation. After inauguration, the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union of District 5 is responsible for managing, introducing and guiding visitors to visit the monument. The relic has a great educational effect on the young generation, from comrade Tran Phu's shining example of courage, steadfast revolutionary spirit and compassion for comrades and comrades. This relic will forever remind the next generation of the advice of the first General Secretary of the Party: "Keep the will to fight". The prison area in Cho Quan hospital was recognized as a historical relic by the Ministry of Culture on November 16, 1988. Source: People's Committee of District 5, Ho Chi Minh City
