Vi Xuyen Front
Vi Xuyen Front - An immortal epic at the forefront of the Fatherland After the war to protect the northern border in 1979, the Vi Xuyen area continued to be a hot spot with hundreds of fierce battles lasting nearly a decade. From 1984 to 1989, the Vietnamese army and people stubbornly held on to strategic high points such as 468, 685, 772, 1100, 1509, Doi Dai, Co Ich... determined to maintain every inch of the sacred land of the Fatherland. The mountains in Vi Xuyen have suffered millions of artillery shells, many high points were flattened, and the terrain deformed after intense battles. That fierceness caused this place to be called by veterans with the haunting name: "Lime Kiln of the Century". More than 4,000 officers and soldiers have heroically sacrificed their lives, thousands of others were injured or forever lying in the heart of the rocky mountain, whose remains have not yet been found. The blood of the soldiers has mixed with the motherland, writing an immortal epic about patriotism and the will to protect border sovereignty. High score 468 – Symbol of the will to keep the land In the system of relics of the Vi Xuyen Front, High Point 468 is one of the most sacred places. This was once a strategic location, where many fierce battles took place between our troops and the enemy. Today, on top of 468, the Temple of Martyrs of the Vi Xuyen Front and the Memorial House of Gratitude to the Martyrs have been built, becoming a place for comrades, relatives and tourists to offer incense to commemorate those who have fallen. Standing on high point 468, looking out over the rolling mountains, it is hard for anyone to imagine that this place was once the fiercest battlefield of the war to protect the northern border. Each incense stick lit is not only a tribute to those who have sacrificed but also reminds today's generations of the value of peace that is exchanged for blood and bones. Vi Xuyen National Martyrs Cemetery - The resting place of immortal soldiers About 18 km from Ha Giang city, Vi Xuyen National Martyrs Cemetery is the resting place of 1,863 martyrs and a mass grave, including more than 1,600 martyrs who died in the war to protect the Northern border. The cemetery was built in 1990, leaning against the Tay Con Linh range, facing the historic Lo river. Thousands of white tombstones are lined up in neat rows like comrades still standing side by side guarding the border. Every year, on July 12 - the death anniversary of Division 356, the War Invalids and Martyrs Day on July 27, the Vietnam People's Army's Founding Day on December 22 and other major holidays of the country, tens of thousands of veterans, relatives of martyrs and tourists from all over the country return here to offer incense and commemorate those who are forever in their twenties.

Monument to Youth Volunteers - Happiness Road
Monument to Youth Volunteers - An eternal symbol on the Path to Happiness The Youth Volunteer Monument is located on the Happiness Road, in the Dong Van Stone Plateau area, Tuyen Quang province (formerly in Ha Giang province). This is a memorial to the young volunteers and people of all ethnic groups who devoted their youth, sweat and blood to open the legendary route through the northernmost rocky mountains of the Fatherland. The Road of Happiness was started on September 10, 1959 and completed in 1965, with a length of about 185 km, connecting Ha Giang city with Quan Ba, Yen Minh, Dong Van and Meo Vac. To complete the project, nearly 1,000 local workers and more than 1,000 young volunteers from 16 ethnic groups in 8 provinces worked continuously for more than 5 years in extremely arduous conditions. With only rudimentary tools such as hoes, shovels, crowbars and sledgehammers, they excavated and transported more than 3 million cubic meters of soil and rock, creating the first route connecting the rocky plateau with the lowlands. Particularly when crossing Ma Pi Leng pass, the force paving the way had to hang on a steep cliff for 11 months to drill rocks and open every meter of the road. During the construction process, 14 young volunteers heroically sacrificed their lives, leaving an indelible mark in the history of building the country. In that pioneering epic, there was an important contribution from more than 200 young volunteers in Cao Bang province. They participated in the construction of many important roads such as Pac Sum, Trang Kim, Pho Bang, Lung Cam, Xa Phin and many other roads on the rocky plateau. One of Cao Bang's outstanding children who sacrificed on the construction site was martyr Trieu Van Thoong, contributing to enhancing the tradition of fighting and dedication of the homeland's youth. To remember the contributions of those who paved the way, in 2017, the Youth Volunteer Monument Cluster was built right next to the Happiness Road. The work is made of natural stone, 16 m high including the statue's pedestal. The main cluster of statues includes five images of young volunteers with a proud and strong posture, demonstrating their resilient will and spirit of solidarity to overcome all difficulties. Behind are three bas-reliefs recreating the journey from the first days to the rocky area, the process of breaking the mountain to open the way to the moment the historic route was completed. Today, the Youth Volunteer Monument is not only a stop on the journey to explore the Dong Van Karst Plateau UNESCO Global Geopark but also a "red address" to educate generations about revolutionary traditions. Amidst the majestic scenery of the mountains and forests, the monument reminds each visitor of the noble sacrifices of the young volunteers who turned the seemingly impossible into reality. This is a symbol of patriotism, the will to overcome difficulties and the desire to contribute, contributing to creating the Road to Happiness - the pride of the northernmost region of Vietnam.
