On Jun. 4, Dong Trieu town held a ceremony to receive the Prime Minister's certificate recognising Don Cao Dong Trieu (Dong Trieu military post) and An Bien Temple as National Relics. The ceremony was attended by Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Dang Thi Bich Lien, Quang Ninh's Chairman Nguyen Duc Long and other leaders of the province and relevant departments.
Located in Dong Trieu Ward and Hong Phong Commune (Dong Trieu town), Don Cao relic was built in 1896, marking the offical establishment of Dong Trieu's fourth War Zones.
Meanwhile, An Bien Temple was built by the locals to worship the female General Le Chan, a native Dong Trieu woman, who made great contributions to the Hai Ba Trung (Trung sisters) uprising against invaders in 40 B.C.
These two historical relic sites are good places for Dong Trieu people in particular and Quang Ninh in general to learn about the historical traditions.
