Cang Bac Me National Historical Relic Area
Bac Me Cang - a historical relic during the resistance war against the French, is located on the slopes of Dragon Mountain in Don Dien village, Yen Cuong commune, Bac Me district, Ha Giang province. Bac Me Cang was built by the French before 1938 during their occupation of Ha Giang.

Bac Me Cang is built on the rugged, soaring rocky slopes. Behind is Dragon Mountain as a shield to protect this post, in front is the Gam River, making it easy to observe and cover the situation. Bac Me stretch was originally built by the French to control the arterial road connecting 3 northern mountainous provinces: Ha Giang, Tuyen Quang, and Cao Bang. When it was first built, it was used as a military camp to gather French soldiers and henchmen during the occupation of this area. The reason this place is called Cang Bac Me is because in French, Cang means "fort", and in the local language, Bac Me is "Pac Mia", which means hut door. Refers to the post where the troops were stationed as well as where the French colonial observation post was located. Bac Me stretch was built including a system of posts, information houses, and guard posts to serve their ruling purposes. From 1939 to 1942, Cang Bac Me was turned into a prisoner of war camp by the French to detain communist soldiers they captured. There are many of our patriotic revolutionary comrades detained here such as: comrades Xuan Thuy, Hoang Hui Nam, Hoang Bac Dung, Le Gian, Nguyen Hong, Dang Viet Chau... Taking advantage of the key terrain of the post built in the sacred forests and dangerous waters of this area. They arrested political prisoners and patriotic communist soldiers and imprisoned them here. Every day, those soldiers had to endure torture and labor in harsh and miserable conditions under their strict control in order to extinguish the patriotism and revolutionary will of their children. They are called Viet Cong. But all those hardships could not overcome the stubborn will of our people. The patriots turned pain into action, turning prisons into political schools. They established Party cells in prison, actively distributed leaflets and contacted people and soldiers outside. Faced with strong fighting activities of prisoners and people in the area, they were forced to change the place of detention with their communist comrades to other places. By 1992, Bac Me Cang was recognized as a national revolutionary historical relic. Over time this place has been greatly damaged. In 2003, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Ha Giang province coordinated with agencies in the province, along with Bac Me District, to restore a number of items of the relic such as: watchtower, prison, up and down road...

These megalithic relics are located between the Tay Dan mountain range and the Nam Dan hill range, right next to the Nam Khoong stream. Many large sedimentary rocks lie along the stream banks with diverse and unique shapes. Some rocks are like a flat chess board, some are like a counter or a chair. On the surface and at the edges of the stone slab, the natural weathering state remains. People in the area call this area Na Lai (field of many words) because on some rocks there are engraved pictures and words. The engravings are very diverse, bringing their own beauty in the visual style of ancient art.
