Diên Biên Phu was once a crossing point on the caravan route from Burma to China and northern Vietnam. Diên Biên Phu is still remembered as the site of a battle that ended on May 7, 1954 with the fall of the French entrenched camp and the victory of the troops of General Giap, commander of the Vietnamese People's Army. Today, it's a booming provincial capital. The valley (Muong Thanh) is home to a predominantly Thai population. It forms an incised valley between steep, difficult-to-cross mountains, some 5 km wide and 20 km long.
