Overview

The battle of Dien Bien Phu was a significant military confrontation between the French Union forces and the Viet Minh, which resulted in a decisive victory for the Viet Minh and ultimately led to the end of French colonial rule in Indochina. The battle was a complex and intense military operation, and its historical significance cannot be described in terms of difficulty level.
Muong Lay town in Dien Bien province boasts a very special position compared to other localities around Vietnam, as it is located on the banks of the Son La Hyower Reservoir at the confluence of the Da River, the Nam Na River, and Nam Lay Stream. Muong Lay has long been dubbed a “jewel” atop the northwest skies thanks to its scenery that makes visitors fall in love.
