Overview: The highlight of this trip
forward the famous historic battlefield of Dien Bien Phu, where the French, after nearly 100 years of colonization and nine years of
war, were defeated in 1954 by the Viet Minh lead by Ho Chi Minh. War relics are
main attractive spots but the beauty of the flat, heart-shaped Muong Thanh
valley
and the inordinary life of Thai people here are worth visiting, too...
