This is where important historical events of the Vietnamese people during the resistance war against the US and France were associated. Pac Bo Cao Bang is famous for its beautiful waterfalls, clear streams, stretching primeval forests, rugged rocky mountains and rich and brilliant valley fields. The Pac Bo historical relic complex is located in Truong Ha commune, Cao Bang province. According to the Tay - Nung ethnic language, Pac Bo means "watershed". This is the place chosen by Uncle Ho as the revolutionary leadership base and is the place with an important mark in the nation's resistance war against the French and the Americans. Experiencing important milestones after all these years, this place still retains almost intact the evidence and imprints of the revolution and of President Ho. Pac Bo Cao Bang is covered with rugged mountains, beckoning waterfalls, and cool green bamboo groves throughout the sky.

Lenin Stream is located in the Pac Bo Cao Bang historical relic site, famous for its clear blue water that can be seen at the bottom like a mirror reflecting the great landscape of heaven and earth, creating a beautiful landscape. This destination is loved by many people because of its quiet space and poetic and lyrical scenery. There really is no beautiful word that can describe the beauty and purity of the Lenin stream.

A destination not to be missed when coming to Pac Bo Cao Bang is Cac Mac Mountain. Along with the Lenin Stream, Karl Marx Mountain was also named by Uncle Ho. These are the names of the two thinkers who had the greatest influence on Uncle Ho's revolutionary career.

Near the edge of Cac Mac mountain, along the Lenin stream, visitors will see the bamboo garden that Uncle Ho planted still exists. Everything seems to create a peaceful, poetic space for the place where Uncle Ho once stopped. Pac Bo Cave, also known as Coc Po Cave, is only about 15 square meters wide.

The road to Lan Khuoi Nam is quite steep and winding at the foot of the mountain, but has now been repaired and paved with stones to make it easier to walk. Khuoi Nam shack was built near a stream, quite discreet and convenient for observation and retreat if there were enemies. The shack is quite small, only about 12m2, built in a simple and rustic stilt house style. Pac Bo Cao Bang is a charming place, every season has its own beauty. However, if you want to see the full beauty of this place, you should choose to come from October to May.

Son La Prison and To Hieu Peach Tree
Son La Prison was built by the French colonialists in 1908. It was once a place to detain more than 1,000 Vietnamese Communists and patriots. It is famous for its historic To Hieu Peach Tree. This is a great place to teach the younger generations of Vietnam about their sacrifices for the cause of national liberation. Join us to learn about this famous landmark! The prison was established in 1908 in the center of Son La town and on top of Khau Ca hill. Son La's terrifying reputation continued to spread and soon it was considered one of the most brutal prisons in Southeast Asia. Initially a small place, the prison quickly expanded to become an important place, where many political prisoners were held. At that time, this place was famous as a cruel and terrifying prison, where the will to resist and patriotism in the minds of prisoners were reduced by the bloodiest methods. However, for the revolutionaries imprisoned in Son La Prison, this place is a "school" where endurance, solidarity and fighting spirit are trained. Notable prisoners detained here include General Secretary Le Duan, famous revolutionary To Hieu (who died of tuberculosis during his imprisonment), and commander Van Tien Dung. There have been many stories about the resilience and courage of revolutionaries who fought against colonialism and sacrificed their lives here like To Hieu. Taking advantage of the harsh climate and rugged terrain, the French colonialists built Son La Prison and turned it into a "hell on earth" to detain Vietnamese communists and end their revolutionary struggle. In the summer, due to the influence of the Foehn wind, all the cells in the prison resemble a furnace. Meanwhile, winter is cold because of the harsh climate of the border area. However, regardless of the harsh climate and cruel regime, Vietnamese communists overcame all difficulties and turned the prison into a revolutionary school, where key party members of the Vietnamese revolution were trained. Son La Prison is an important revolutionary relic, demonstrating the boundless patriotism and steadfast will of the Vietnamese people. In 2014, the prison was recognized as a special national monument because of its great historical significance. Son La Prison was built by the French colonialists on Khau Ca hill, next to Nam La stream, Son La province. From here you can see the entire city of Son La. Construction of the prison began in 1908 on an area of 500 square meters. 32 years later, it was expanded to 1,700 square meters. The prison is surrounded by solid walls made of brick and stone, 4 meters high and 0.5 meters wide. The surface of the prisoner's bed is covered with cement; Meanwhile, its outer edge is attached to a leg shackle system. During 15 years, from 1930 to 1945, a total of 1,013 communist prisoners and soldiers were detained at Son La Prison, where many loyal soldiers and party members were trained to prepare for the general uprising of the August Revolution in 1945: General Secretary Truong Chinh, General Secretary Le Duan, Army Commander Van Tien Dung, Le Duc Tho, Le Thanh Nghi, Xuan Thuy, To Hieu, ….and the patriotic symbol of hero To Hieu are worth mentioning a few. Son La Prison was destroyed with explosives in 1952 as the French sought to eradicate the brutality and inhumane conditions that occurred there. This bombardment, along with other rounds of destruction during the war against America, left Son La Prison a smoldering pile of rubble. In 1965, under fierce American bombing in North Vietnam, Son La Prison was almost completely destroyed. Later it was restored by the Vietnamese to recreate history. Visiting Son La Prison, visitors will have the opportunity to see with their own eyes hundreds of historical artifacts such as handcuffs, iron chains, cells, and the To Hieu peach tree. Named after a brave and loyal communist, the To Hieu peach tree symbolizes the indomitable spirit of typical Vietnamese revolutionary soldiers. An important relic is the peach tree planted by To Hieu. During the last years of his life, he carefully cared for the tree and ensured that it would last long after he was gone. Today, the banyan tree is considered a symbol of the indomitable spirit of hero To Hieu despite his serious illness and pain in a cold prison. To this day, the To Hieu peach tree is still evergreen and blooms beautifully every spring. The prison is a famous historical site that attracts many domestic and international tourists. In particular, on special occasions, every day Son La Prison welcomes over 2,000 visitors to visit and review memories of a fierce revolutionary period. Visitors can explore the ramshackle gates and crumbling walls of Son La Prison when visiting the prison museum. You'll find lifelike oil paintings depicting the harsh treatment of prisoners, and you'll also be able to walk through the remaining basement area, where solitary confinement cells and tiger cages have been restored. Son La Prison and To Hieu Peach Tree are considered one of the most famous places, with the equally infamous name "Hell on Earth" to describe the horrifying brutality of the French colonialists against Vietnamese prisoners here. Son La Prison is an endless source of inspiration that empowers today's generations in the work of protecting the independence of the Fatherland and building a prosperous country.

Tac Tinh Waterfall
Known as one of the famous tourist destinations in Lai Chau, Tac Tinh waterfall always attracts many tourists from all over the country to come and admire. Let's explore this legendary waterfall with us. Tac Tinh Waterfall is also known as Tac Tinh Waterfall, people here still call it Tinh Waterfall for short. The waterfall is located in Binh Lu commune, about 27km from Lai Chau city center. Located in the middle of rolling mountains, the waterfall is like a beautiful young woman hiding behind the hands of majestic nature. From a distance, the waterfall appears like the hair of a beautiful, soft and gentle girl. These names are not simply to distinguish places, but also contain a sad story about the unfinished love of a Dao couple. In terms of scenery, Tac Tinh waterfall is no less beautiful than famous waterfalls such as Hang De Cho in Yen Bai, Phi Lieng waterfall in Lam Dong or Do Quyen waterfall in Thua Thien Hue. The waterfall is located at an altitude of about 1,400 meters above sea level. In the summer, the waterfall falls strongly from a height of more than 120 meters, creating a majestic, white column of water. The water from the waterfall then winds through the stone steps, creating many small, fresh and gentle streams. On days when the water is dry, the upper lake bed is quite large and can be bathed if you want to experience the feeling of immersing yourself in pristine nature. The legend of Tac Tinh waterfall is a sad love story that has been passed down through many generations in the Dao community in Si Thau Chai village. The story is about Lo Lan - a beautiful young woman, the daughter of a rich family, with a sweet voice that captivated the whole mountain and forest. Even though she was approached by many wealthy families, she still firmly refused. Her heart was devoted to the poor boy Ly Phan, who had the talent to play the flute and make the music fly far into the deep forest. The two of them were inseparable, singing together every day. The sound of the flute and singing blended together as if it could summon the soul of the mountains and forests. However, that love encountered prohibition. Ly Phan was forced to leave the village, leaving Lo Lan alone to wait. Each season of ban flowers passes, she still stands at the top of the mountain, looking forward to the silhouette of her past. But after waiting forever, Lo Lan gradually disappeared. The villagers said that she turned into stone, and the water pouring from above turned into her hair and tears, flowing endlessly. Later, Ly Phan returned and found the old waterfall. He stood next to the waterfall, playing the familiar flute again, like a passionate call to the girl he once loved. But I waited and waited but no one was seen. Gradually, the villagers no longer saw the boy's silhouette. Only the distant sound of the flute lingers amidst the sound of the waterfall. Since then, Tac Tinh waterfall has been mentioned as a symbol of faithful, unwavering love - a place where sincere feelings are never divided, whether by time or fate. To fully experience Tac Tinh waterfall, you should choose a suitable time for the purpose of your trip. The rainy season (May to September) is when the waterfall is at its peak of beauty, with strong flowing water, lush green trees, and cool air. In contrast, the dry season (October to April) offers dry, easier trails for trekking and exploring. The temperature in Lai Chau this season is quite pleasant, but you should still bring a light jacket. Not only famous for its pristine beauty and sad love story that touches people's hearts, Tac Tinh waterfall is also an ideal destination for those who love nature, experience and discovery. The area around Tac Tinh waterfall is a great place for you and your friends or family to camp, have a picnic and enjoy the fresh air. The space is covered by towering pine forests, creating a feeling of absolute coolness and relaxation. At night, the scene becomes even more magical with the whispering sounds of insects and the tent lights flickering in the mountain mist. One of the experiences most tourists love when coming to the waterfall is trekking through the forest. The trail leading down to the foot of the waterfall takes you through small slopes, shady forests and rocks covered with green moss. If weather conditions and water flow allow, you can completely experience the feeling of bathing in the cool water at the foot of the waterfall. Small lakes scattered at the foot of the waterfall are ideal places to relax, soak your feet or simply relax to the sound of the waterfall. Besides, take time to visit nearby Thai villages such as Sin Suoi Ho village, to enjoy local cuisine such as upland sticky rice or kitchen meat. Learning about brocade weaving or chatting with people will provide insight into Northwest culture. If you have time, explore Pu Dao Waterfall or Tan Uyen Tea Hill.
