Bien Phu Town. It is very commodious, fresh and
convenient for travel. Muong Thanh Hotel is very

Dien
Bien Phu is surrounded by mountains and lies in
the Muong Thanh valley, a 20-km long and 6-km
wide heart-shaped basin. The Nam Rom River runs
across the valley, which is why the Dien Bien
Phu valley is so fertile. After 1953, French expeditionary
corps occupied Dien Bien Phu and set up a group
of fortresses equipped with many state-of-the-art
weapons.
The
Dien Bien Phu victory created a great echo in
the world. The heroic struggle of the Vietnamese
people's army against the French expeditionary
corps lasted for 56 days in 1954. General de Castries
and his entire command were taken alive and 16,000
enemy troops were put out of action.
The
relics of the Battle of Dien Bien Phu include
Doc Lap Hill, the airport, and the command tunnel
of General de Castries
