Nestled amidst pristine forests at the foot of Pu Don mountain, this site served as General Vo Nguyen Giap's command center from January 31 to May 15, 1954.
Located over 30 kilometers from downtown Dien Bien Phu, it was maintained with utmost secrecy and security. From this site, visitors can ascend to the highest points to gaze over Dien Bien Phu city, Muong Thanh valley, and former French strongholds.
Seventy years later, all facilities here remain meticulously preserved: from tunnels and living quarters to workspaces used by General Vo Nguyen Giap and the General Staff.
Today, the historical site of Muong Phang has become a prominent destination for tourists visiting Dien Bien.
Beyond its historical significance and the educational value of the glorious victory, visitors gain insights into the hardships and sacrifices endured by Vietnamese military forces during those pivotal days.
As time passes, the revolutionary base of Muong Phang continues to evolve and develop, facilitating visits for locals and tourists alike. Residents of Muong Phang persist in preserving these historical relics, transforming them into assets for economic development and homeland construction./.
