The Him Lam Resistance Center has just opened to visitors.

After a period of restoration and renovation, the Him Lam Resistance Center, one of the important historical sites within the Dien Bien Phu Battlefield Special National Monument, officially opened its doors to visitors on April 28, 2026.

The trenches, communication tunnels, bunkers, and reconstructed structures not only vividly recreate the opening battle of the Dien Bien Phu Campaign in 1954, but also transport visitors back to the heroic historical space, once considered the "steel gate" protecting the Dien Bien Phu fortified complex.

The Him Lam Resistance Center historical site has been comprehensively renovated, with commemorative plaques and green landscapes, serving the needs of tourists who want to visit and learn about history.
