Soc Trang Provincial Party Committee Base Relic has an area of 281 hectares, located in My Phuoc Melaleuca forest, in My Phuoc commune, My Tu District, Soc Trang province. The center of the relic site is the Hall, where thousands of meetings of the Party Committee and the Executive Committee of the Soc Trang Provincial Party Committee took place during the resistance war. Previously, the Hall was temporarily built with materials available in the forest such as: Melaleuca, nipa palm leaves, etc. After the year Mau Than 1968, to adapt to the new situation, and at the same time build a solid base to hold on. Long-term resistance pillar, the Hall was rebuilt with square oilwood, split-leaf roof, 4.7m high, 20m long, 4m wide and divided into 5 equal compartments. On both sides of the Hall, there are 4 concrete bunkers, used to hide when enemy aircraft or artillery bombard them. There are 2 floating bunkers, 1 can hold 10 to 15 people and 2 submerged bunkers, 1 can hold 20 to 25 people. In particular, to ensure the safety of the core leadership force, the Base is also equipped with 2 additional secret bunkers about 300m away from the Conference Hall, in which reserve food and necessary items are prepared, each day. The bunker holds about 10 to 13 people. In addition, the Base Area also has the Secretary's office and many camps of affiliated agencies built in field form. The Soc Trang Provincial Party Committee base area was also called My Phuoc Base by the people during the war because this base was formed and built in the cajuput forest in My Phuoc commune. Previously, this area was just a desolate field full of weeds, tens of thousands of acres wide, then people came here to explore, settle and establish hamlets. In the early 20th century, after occupying 6 Southern provinces including Bien Hoa, Gia Dinh, Dinh Tuong, Vinh Long, An Giang, Ha Tien - Soc Trang area in An Giang province, France promoted resource exploitation and land occupation. agricultural products, forcing people to dig canals and grow melaleuca. At that time (1926), Soc Trang province had 4 districts: Chau Thanh, Ke Sach, Long Phu and Phu Loc. At that time, My Phuoc belonged to Chau Thanh district. By August 25, 1945, after the people of Soc Trang successfully seized power, this Melaleuca forest was the property of the people. After the success of the August Revolution, the whole country urgently built and strengthened its forces to prepare resistance plans to continue fighting against the French colonialists. The Soc Trang Provincial Party Committee advocated expanding the workshop to manufacturing weapons to equip the armed forces and serve the resistance war, so in April 1946 the Soc Trang engineering factory was born in the Melaleuca forest. To contribute to the failure of the French strategy of "fighting quickly, winning quickly" and preserving long-term resistance forces, in September 1947 the Soc Trang Provincial Party Committee decided to move the Base from Cu Lao Dung (at that time in Long district). Phu) to My Phuoc cajuput forest. Here, the Provincial Party Executive Committee implemented the Resolution of the Party Central Committee, directly directing combat strategies for the army and people of Soc Trang on all fronts from armed to political. It can be said that My Phuoc Base at that time was the guiding headquarters of the Soc Trang Provincial Party Committee, making an important contribution to the country's common resistance war to defeat French colonialism. After 1954, when the US pushed France to occupy Indochina, under the puppet government of Ngo Dinh Diem, on October 20, 1956, Soc Trang province was renamed Ba Xuyen province. With the policy of "denounce the public, destroy the communists", the puppet government brutally murdered communists. Faced with that situation, thoroughly grasping the ideology in Resolution 15 of the Party Central Committee (1959), from the My Phuoc Melaleuca Forest Base, the Soc Trang Provincial Party Committee launched a co-insurgency movement throughout the province, starting the revolutionary path. violence against US imperialism and its henchmen. From here, the Soc Trang Provincial Party Committee continued to bring the struggle movement of the army and people from victory to victory until the day Soc Trang province was completely liberated (May 1, 1975). With those values and meanings, on June 16, 1992, the Ministry of Culture and Information recognized the Provincial Party Committee Base as a national-level Revolutionary Historical Relic.

Khleang Pagoda is located right in the city center, located on Ton Duc Thang Street, Group 5, Ward 6, Soc Trang City. The pagoda was built nearly 500 years ago, associated with the legends of Soc Trang. The main hall of the pagoda is built on high and wide ground, the space is clear and green, especially there are many palm trees, a typical tree of the Khmer people. The pagoda has been restored many times, but it was not until 1918 that the Main Hall and Sala were rebuilt and all materials were replaced. Still an architectural characteristic of the Southern Khmer people with the dragon image on the roof. In Buddhist stories, Khmer people often say that: Dragon is a sacred animal, it turns itself into a boat to take Buddha across the sea to places to preach sutras and save sentient beings. Therefore, the Dragon was brought to the roof of the temple with the intention of hoping that Buddha would stop and save them from their damnation. Adjacent to the roof of the main hall is the image of the god bird Krud strongly supporting the roof. According to Khmer folk legend, the god bird Krud is the king of birds. In front and behind the main hall of the pagoda, there is the image of Chan standing to protect the pagoda. In Khmer fairy tales or in Du-Ke, the character Chan is a symbol of evil and ugliness, causing suffering for people. everybody. However, in Khmer visual art, Chan was conquered by Buddha. Placing the Chan statue outside the main hall implies that evil and ugliness have been transformed to serve and protect beauty and goodness. Inside the main hall is a large room reserved for ceremonies. In addition to the 12 round columns, the most important part inside the main hall is the altar of Shakyamuni Buddha statue, a 2.5m high statue placed in the middle of the two innermost rooms, not only precious in terms of materials but also in terms of sculptural art. On the altar, there are dense patterns with delicate sculptures and flame-shaped patterns that are very typical of Khmer culture. A refined aesthetic sense emerges into inspiration. Because they follow the Theravada Buddhist system, the pagodas of the Southern Khmer people only worship Shakyamuni Buddha in many different positions: meditating, newly born, begging for alms, at nirvana, etc. The interior of the main hall of the pagoda is the intersection of three cultures: Kinh, Khmer, Chinese in an architectural space, clearly shown on wooden pillars: Vietnamese lacquer art, traditional color coordination. Khmer traditions and typical Chinese drawings, creating a masterpiece that perhaps only exists at Khleang Pagoda. In addition to its role as a religious base, the main hall of the pagoda also stores and preserves a collection of Buddha statues with many different postures, sizes, and materials, likened to an ancient art museum of artifacts. These artifacts have been preserved by many generations of monks for hundreds of years, with contributions from many Buddhists. Since the beginning of the temple's construction until now, Khleang Pagoda has had 21 abbots and the current abbot is Venerable Tang No (1943). Some not only took care of building pagodas but also actively participated in revolutionary activities such as preventing conscription, nurturing famous revolutionary cadres... some had to sacrifice themselves before the enemy's guns like Dai Duc. Tran Ke An, the head monk, was murdered by enemies right in the back of the temple. Therefore, during the years of the resistance war against America to save the country, the pagoda was both a place for organizing religious activities and the most effective place for revolutionary activities of the Party. Over the years, with its important historical significance and preserved architectural value, Khleang Pagoda was recognized by the Ministry of Culture as a national historical and cultural relic on April 27, 2019. 1990.

The pagoda is both a mark of religious history and a red address in two wars. resistance war against France and America, used to be a place for revolutionary cadres during the war against France and America to reside. Initially, the pagoda was only built with leaves on stilts, because at that time there were countless snakes, centipedes, tigers and leopards here. After many generations of abbots, in 1967 the pagoda was rebuilt but also made of leaves. At this time, the resistance war against America and its henchmen was extremely fierce. Meanwhile, the enemy increased military service, so many local young people voluntarily "bared their hair" to enter the temple to avoid their coercion. Since 1908, the pagoda regularly contributed rice and money to support the revolution, built secret bunkers to hide officials, and protected hundreds of local young people who escaped the military draft.

Not to mention, in order to deceive the American puppet, the late monk Thich Hue Giac also used bamboo bedding to surround the mouth of the tunnel, then filled it with coconut shells. Thanks to that, many times revolutionary activists took refuge here when being raided by the American puppet regime and were safely protected. On April 30, 1975, President Duong Van Minh announced his surrender, Ho Ngoc Can declared his death, and many "monks" stripped off their monks' robes to grasp the enemy's situation and continue digging fortifications to prevent a counterattack. of them. At this time, many puppet soldiers' wives and children ran to the stations to find their husbands and fathers.

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.
