You cannot miss Bac Me camp when you visit
Ha Giang, really.
Cang Bac Me, or
Bac Me Prison, nestled in a forest of old trees, is a destination for those
who want to look back into history to the time when the French ruled the region.
Historical documents say the French used Cang Bac Me as a military base before
1938 but then converted it into a prison for revolutionaries.
The prison in Yen Cuong Commune is surrounded by a stone wall of some 190 meters
long and two meters high. Though the watch tower and other components of the
national historical site were restored five years ago, many ruins remain, giving
visitors a glimpse of the hard life of the revolutionaries.
Cang Bac Me has more to offer. As the site is perched on the side of mountains
and overlooks the Gam River, it becomes a place of choice for relaxing at a
destination of beautiful mountain and water landscape. |
