Tomb of the Marshal in Ba Chieu
Lang Ong, also known as the Tomb of the Marshal in Ba Chieu, Ho Chi Minh City, is the resting place of General Le Van Duyet who was the Governor of Gia Dinh Citadel in the 19th century. With its artistic values in terms of architecture imbued with the Vietnamese traditional culture, it has been recognized as a national historical and cultural relic and is the pride of the people in southern Vietnam.


Lang Ong is located in an area of 18,500m2 at the Ba Chieu Cross-road (in Binh Thanh District) which was Hoa Binh Village, Gia Dinh Province. It is surrounded by a green and spacious area and is an ideal space for public activities of the local people.
The tomb was built in 1832 on a tortoise-shaped high mound which is a favourable position. According to the Oriental geographical concept, the tomb is located on a good layer of earth of the sacred land so it helps bring prosperity, peace and happiness to the local people. In the second Tu Duc Year (1849), the king ordered the tomb restored, built a temple and expanded the area to what it is today.
The tomb – the most ancient architectural part of the complex was built in the shape of half of an egg, with a large three-door gate carved with three Chinese scripts ‘Thuong Cong Mieu”. This gate was once selected as the symbol of Sai Gon – Gia Dinh.
