Up to now, in the old garden of King Quang Trung’s family, there are still two extremely precious relics: the ancient well and the ancient tamarind tree, which is said to have existed since the time of Ho Phi Phuc (the father of King Quang Trung). the Tay Son brothers). The ancient well is located to the right of Tay Son Palace with a diameter of 0.9m. The original work was built of laterite and was not as deep as it is now because the villagers later restored it to make a common well for the whole village.

Next to the palace is a large old tamarind tree shading a corner of the garden, according to the people here, the circumference of the tree is up to 3.5m. After a long day coming here to visit the monument and learn about history, there is nothing better than sitting under the old tamarind tree and scooping up a bucket of sacred water to drink to increase morale like the hero Nguyen Hue.

Quang Trung Binh Dinh Museum is not only a place to store historical artifacts but also a place to transmit the spirit of Tay Son ethnic martial arts – the traditional martial art of Binh Dinh. To add vibrancy to martial arts dances, the people here also recreated the old battle drums of King Quang Trung. Each battle drum song consists of 3 parts: battle out, siege, triumph… But the special thing here is that there is no drum to collect troops, because people tell each other that in the virgin life of “brothers” “Hero of Tay Son” has never lost a battle, never once had to withdraw troops, and won consecutively like a drum pounding without stopping.
