In the glorious days of May, millions of hearts are turning to Dien Bien Phu - the place that made the victory "famous in five continents, shaking the earth" 60 years ago. Coming to Dien Bien today, there is still somewhere the image of the liberation army full of enthusiasm entering the campaign, not afraid of the hardships of digging roads, pulling artillery, shaking the mountains and forests of the Northwest. The Dien Bien Phu campaign headquarters is located in the primeval forest in Muong Phang commune, the residence and workplace of General Vo Nguyen Giap, which will partly recreate the seething atmosphere of the past.
Located on the border between Son La and Dien Bien provinces, Pha Din Pass - one of the "four great passes of the Northwest" with a length of 32km is the dream of many drivers. The winding roads, with steep cliffs on one side and majestic mountains and forests on the other, have become legendary. And Muong Lay with its poetic "mountains on the mountain - lakes on the lake" scenery, likened to "Ha Long Bay on the mountain" will surprise you.
This season, the appearance of early summer rains has transformed hundreds of hectares of terraced fields in Mu Cang Chai district (Yen Bai) into a mesmerizing sparkling palette of colors. The silvery water fields reflect the deep blue sky, the silhouettes of young couples diligently plowing. The silver of the water, the red of the soil, the green of young rice seedlings shining under the bright sunlight paint a picture of happiness and peace in the northern highlands. With the journey to Dien Bien, visitors will enjoy the majestic beauty of the mountains, explore and learn about the heroic history of the nation.
