Kien An Forest revolutionary base
Kien An Forest - Revolutionary red address Kien An historical forest is located in An Lap commune, Dau Tieng district, former Binh Duong province, now Ho Chi Minh City, with an area of about 245 hectares. With its green natural landscape and rich revolutionary tradition, this place is one of the typical resistance bases of the Southeast region, as well as a meaningful tourist destination. During the two resistance wars against the French colonialists and the American imperialists, Kien An forest served as a strategic base for many revolutionary units. Thanks to the rugged jungle terrain, located between the Saigon River and Thi Tinh River, this place became a place to garrison troops, protect headquarters, train forces and be a springboard for many important battles towards Saigon. Kien An Forest was also the base of the security forces of Thu Dau Mot province, contributing to protecting the liberated area and effectively supporting the revolutionary movement. Today, the monument has been invested in building many items such as a welcome gate, a traditional exhibition house, a battle tunnel recreation area and a green tree system for sightseeing and studying. In 2004, Kien An forest revolutionary base was recognized as a provincial historical relic, becoming a red address to educate patriotic traditions and national pride for generations.
