Ben Ngu - a reminder of the past In Google Map or Wikimapia, An
However, to Ben Ngu was built in 1836 during King Minh Mang’s reign (1820-1840) and it was dedicated to royal boats heading to Nam Giao ritual, when the king prayed for a peaceful and prosperous country. The king usually ordered his boats and retinue to stop at this section of the river before sailing on to the royal place called Thuy Phu. The vestiges of Ben Ngu have faded over time, but locals still remember Phan Boi Chau, a revolutionary leader in the early twentieth century and his close friend Uncle Ho, who often went fishing at the berth. In late July, 2008, people discovered two old rock slabs which are 30 centimeters thick and about 1.5 meters to 2.4 meters long in the area. They are considered relics of the wharf under the Nguyen Dynasty. Today, Ben Ngu is believed to be a place that holds many old cultural and historical values. Source: SGT |
