Cap Bo offers the opportunity for a break in beautiful and still preserved landscapes. This is where the Fleuves and Mang rivers come from, hence the name Cap Bo (the Source). In 1941, the return of years abroad was where Ho Chi Minh lived in the Coc cave, beginning the long company that would lead to the independence of the nation. In the middle of the mountains clear streams of water. At the foot of Mount Karl-Marx, it is possible to bathe in the Lenin River. A small museum in Ho Chi Minh has some historical memories. The area is not busy.

The memorial is in the form of a white obelisk surrounded by a low wall. It was erected on his own initiative and built by Rolf Rödel (1928-1999), former sergeant of the Foreign Legion, who fought in Diên Biên Phu as commander of the 10th Company Commando of the ^3rd Battalion of the ^3rd Foreign Infantry Regiment (REI). The memorial was inaugurated on 7 May 1994 on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the Battle of Dien Bien Phu. The maintenance of the monument was the subject of an agreement between the authorities of the province of Diên Biên and the French Embassy in Hanoi.

In the colonial era, it was called the China Gate. Chinese border 18 km north of Lang Son. Very watched road in direction of the famous gate formerly guarded by a blockhouse raised by the French in 1895. A 370 m long wall marked the separation between the two countries. In 1979, the war almost completely destroyed it. Nanning, the capital of Guangxi province, is 221 km away, in Chinese territory, and can be reached by train from Hanoi.

It bears witness to the very ancient occupation of the region. More than 200 engraved and sculpted rocks are scattered in the rice fields. They also contain inscriptions that researchers have not yet deciphered. This is the task of P. Le Failler, historian and researcher at the École française d'Extrême-Orient (Efeo), who has been working on this enigma for several years. According to P. Le Failler, "known since 1925, the enigmatic petroglyphs of Sapa, in the province of Lao-Cai, show original models of cartography on stone. Though devoid of writing, the engravers have nevertheless left us a fine description of their world. The networks of rice terraces carved into the rock, the interlacing of hydraulic installations or the representation of villages allow the study of their morphology and provide information on the evolution of human settlements in the high valleys. The Efeo has carried out a census, which was essential due to acts of vandalism that have damaged many of the inscriptions. The coordinates of the stones were recorded by GPS, and each inscription was stamped for digitisation. Local people have always known about the stones, but are unable to explain their origin. Some inscriptions are sinister but unknown; others use an unidentified alphabet. The region has experienced significant migration to such an extent that local memory has lost the memory of those who were there only two hundred years ago.

This superb pagoda is a fine example of traditional architecture and religious syncretism of the time. A stele indicates that it was founded in 1632 by Ngoc Dong,^third rank concubine of Lord Trinh Trang. Other sources indicate the previous presence of a place of worship which they date back to the Trân dynasty. The pagoda is remarkable because of its roof which descends very low. It houses 257 lacquered statues, half in jackfruit wood and half in terracotta, as well as a beautiful bronze bell from 1743.

It was once the chic beach comparable to Le Touquet of the 1930 s. It was in 1886 that Governor General Paul Bert decided to build a seaside resort. It is now a popular beach, frequented by the inhabitants of Haiphong, called Cuu Long Son (the mountain to the Nine Dragons) because of the nine bumps of its headland. The site suffers from pollution and excessive attendance. Water quality does not necessarily invite bathing. Beautiful view at the tip of the tip.

Beautiful beach extending 10 km into the shadow of the pine and filaos, with views of the rocks offshore, emerging from blue and clear waters. During the colonial period, the French had made a seaside resort. The villas were unfortunately destroyed during the war in Indochina. The seafront, despite the new buildings, remains pleasant. It is possible to spend the night on the spot, many hotels and guesthouses offer rooms. 

Tours in Viet Nam, Laos and Cambodia. Good value for money.

This beautiful cave is located 150 meters from the national road n° 6. The stalagmites rise, the stalactites fall and the bats fly away ... According to legend, a sacred dragon wished to settle in the peaceful valley where the magnificent mountain range changes colours: white in the morning, blue at noon, pink in the afternoon and purple when the sun sets. The mouth of the dragon would be the mouth of the Son Moc Huong cave.
