House 26 alley 186 Hai Ba Trung (formerly Tam Thuat alley) was a revolutionary base where Nguyen Duc Canh, Nguyen Luong Bang, and Ngo Gia Tu frequently resided. The house, built during the French colonial period, still retains its old architectural features and is currently privately owned. |
The second floor of house 1/42 Me Linh in An Bien ward, Le Chan district, built during the French colonial period, was a vital secret base for the revolution. From 1927 to 1929, it served as the secret headquarters of the Hai Phong Provincial Committee of the Vietnam Revolutionary Youth League. Later, from 1929 to 1930, it became the secret headquarters for the Hai Phong Provincial Committee of the Indochinese Communist Party.
This location once hosted Nguyen Duc Canh (1908-1932), a co-founder of the Communist Party of Vietnam and former Secretary of the Bac Ky Regional Committee. After attending political training organized by Nguyen Ai Quoc in Guangzhou in 9/1927, Nguyen Duc Canh returned to Vietnam to engage in revolutionary activities. He was then appointed Secretary of the Hai Phong Provincial Committee of the Vietnam Revolutionary Youth League by the Bac Ky Regional Committee.
In early 1928, Nguyen Duc Canh initiated training classes and published newspapers to raise revolutionary awareness among the masses, mobilizing them to fight against French colonial oppression and exploitation. The League's base at that time was 1 alley 42, Me Linh street. In 1989, this address was recognized as a national historical relic.

House 14 Ngo Gao (now 61 Ly Thuong Kiet street) functioned as a secret international communication station for revolutionary cadres in the 1920s. In the autumn of 1927, Nguyen Luong Bang (alias Sao Do) secretly transported several copies of "Duong Kach Menh" (The Revolutionary Path), written by Nguyen Ai Quoc in Guangzhou, to Hai Phong via the ship Song Bo.
Nguyen Luong Bang stored these books at house 14 Ngo Gao before distributing them to revolutionary cadres across various locations. This effort significantly contributed to the movement to establish the Communist Party of Vietnam on 3/2/1930. The house was recognized as a historical relic in 1986 but remains privately owned.

House 168 Le Loi served as a liaison and operational base for revolutionaries in the 1930s. After attending the Party founding conference in Huong Cang, China, Nguyen Duc Canh returned to Hai Phong to prepare for the establishment of the Hai Phong Party Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam. The second floor of 166A (now 168 Le Loi) hosted numerous meetings and propaganda activities for communist youth, preparing for the establishment of the Hai Phong Indochinese Communist Party organization.
This street-front house, connected to winding alleys, was chosen as the secret headquarters for the Bac Ky Regional Committee due to its advantageous location, which allowed for secrecy and a safe retreat. Figures such as Tran Van Lan (Central Committee member, in charge of the Bac Ky region), Trinh Dinh Cuu (Regional Committee member, in charge of propaganda and training), Le Duan (Propaganda and Training Committee member, who later became General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam), Luu Thi Dinh, and Trieu Thi Dinh, among others, lived and worked here.
From this location, the Regional Committee's communication network secretly expanded to factories, schools, and neighborhoods. Party newspapers and documents were quickly channeled through the propaganda apparatus, reaching cadres, party members, and the public nationwide.
Today, a commemorative stele is placed at 168 Le Loi street. In 2025, the Hai Phong City People's Committee recognized house 168 as a city-level revolutionary historical relic.
