Tuc Dup in the mind of local residents is a “sacred hill” that keeps glorious and heroic memories and a triumphant melody about the brilliant miracle of patriotism. Not only attracting thousands of visitors every Tet Holiday, Tuc Dup is also timeless evidence, a keeper of historical values that are always present to young people who seek to make themselves better.

Young people step back in time to explore various historical stories...

Tuc Dup used to be a flashpoint in the “fire triangle” on the battlefield map, a frequently bombarded area during the Vietnam War. The 128-day fierce battle cannot be easily faded by haunting and painful memories. Since then, the nickname “2-million-dollar hill” became a legend, an immortal undefeatable shield that proved endogenous strength, steadfast willpower and courage of warriors and people in the Seven Mountains.

Faced with the destructive and disastrous power of modern American warfare techniques, our fighters subtly and skillfully applied various military tactics on the rugged and mysterious structure. Going deep inside Tuc Dup are mountain caves interlinked together. This is ideal for building military fortresses of revolutionary forces. Thousands of caves look like an extremely mysterious maze.

“Sesame, open…”.

Labyrinth of caves

Stopping at wartime vestiges that have been meticulously restored to preserve cultural and historical values, visitors will feel like reliving and immersing in every historical moment from stories told, images seen and armed equipment displayed in the Traditional House and the Diorama Room. Then, they should enter the Memorial Temple to respectfully offer incense and remember heroes and martyrs who rested in peace.
