NGOC HOI VICTORY SITE, SPRING OF KY DAU 1789

The Ngoc Hoi Victory Site is a national-level historical relic, associated with the Ngoc Hoi – Dong Da Victory in the spring of Ky Dau 1789, when Emperor Quang Trung – Nguyen Hue led the Tay Son insurgent army to defeat 290,000 Qing troops and liberate Thang Long. The relic covers a total area of 6,959.2m² and is a heroic symbol of Vietnamese patriotism and military art.
The project to restore and embellish the relic was invested with 76 billion VND and completed synchronously in 2025 with many items such as: main gate, side gate, victory monument, Emperor Quang Trung memorial house, exhibition house, shrine, semicircular lake, tree system and technical infrastructure. In particular, the pair of stone elephants – a symbol of the Tay Son insurgent army – donated by Tay Son Commune, Gia Lai Province, is now solemnly placed within the relic grounds.
A highlight of the relic site is the “Three Bronze Arrows” monument, the stone relief system recreating the historic battle, and the Emperor Quang Trung Memorial House built in traditional architecture with two tiers and eight roofs of lim wood. The relic space is solemn and harmonious, combining architecture, landscape and historical value, becoming an address for educating patriotic tradition and national pride for today’s and future generations. It is a sacred place where history, spirituality and gratitude deeply intersect; a red address for traditional education, nurturing patriotism and arousing national pride for present and future generations, fully expressing the eternal philosophy of the Vietnamese nation: “When drinking water, remember its source – give thanks to predecessors.”
With those great values, this site was ranked as a City-level Historical Relic in 2019 and was ranked as a National-level relic on February 12, 2026. Every year, on the 4th day of the Lunar New Year, the festival commemorating the Ngoc Hoi Victory is held vibrantly, attracting a large number of local people and visitors from all over to offer incense and commemorate the merits of Emperor Quang Trung and the soldiers who fell for independence and freedom, while preserving national pride for future generations.
