 The land has many historical relics

The land and people of Dau Tieng have gone down in history with many heroic events and testimonies of cultural significance. These are "living proof" associated with the heroic years of fighting to protect the Fatherland of our ancestors through many historical periods. In particular, there is a red address here bearing the mark of the great victory in the spring of 1975, the relic "Ho Chi Minh Campaign Front Command" in Cam Xe forest in Minh Tan commune. From this revolutionary base, the historic mission that the Politburo assigned to the Command of the Ho Chi Minh Campaign to liberate Saigon - Gia Dinh, which was to liberate the South before the rainy season, was successfully completed.

Later, the relic "Ho Chi Minh Campaign Front Command" in Cam Xe forest was ranked as a national revolutionary historical relic in 2010. After that, Cam Xe forest was invested and upgraded by Binh Duong province to become a historical relic area with many items, such as: stele records the progress of the Ho Chi Minh Campaign, the scene recreates the place where the leaders met to discuss plans, Hoang Cam kitchen, memorial house... This is a historical relic of great value in revolutionary tradition education for the young generation, is a red address for all levels and branches to organize meaningful activities, cultivating patriotic traditions and national pride.

Tran Manh Duoc, Party Secretary of Minh Tan commune, said that the commune is very honored to have a red address recognized as a national revolutionary historical relic. The Commune Party Committee regularly directs units and unions of the commune and schools in the area to organize activities at this relic to let each citizen and student know more about their father's struggles. At the same time, the commune also regularly does cleaning and environmental landscape activities to keep the scenery of this relic area always clean and beautiful.

In addition to the relic "Ho Chi Minh Campaign Front Command" in Cam Xe forest, in Dau Tieng district there are also 10 provincial-level cultural relics. In recent years, authorities at all levels and people of Dau Tieng district have made efforts to preserve and promote the value of these relics. Thanks to efforts to preserve and promote the value of cultural relics, Dau Tieng has become an attractive destination for tourists inside and outside the province. Cultural relics in the district not only contribute to the local socio-economic development but also become "red addresses" to educate patriotic traditions for people inside and outside the province.
