This was the focal point of the Viet Minh victory over the French in 1954. It's a really well-maintained location with lots of old trenches and bunkers and even some barbed wire (not original, of course). You have to climb to the top of the hill to see an ex-US tank that the US provided to France...France then disassembled the tanks and flew them in and reassembled them. There's also the massive crater the Vietnamese created when they tunneled under the French position and detonated nearly 1000 kg. Continue out the exit and there is a coffee shop where the French Prime Minister enjoyed a coffee.

Free admission to this cemetery for the Vietnamese in the 1954 battle against the French. The cemetery is well manicured and has the lovely smell of incense that is burning at the gravestones. This is just across the street from the museum. Both are worth visiting.

An impressively large and strong bunker [now protected by a translucent cover]. One can enter the bunker and see the various rooms. Nearby is a respectful memorial to the fallen on the French side. I was told that this was paid for by a German acknowledging that most tof the French troops were, in fact, Germans, Algerians, Moroccans, Senegalese etc
