VOV.VN - As Vietnam prepares to commemorate the 80th anniversary of National Day (September 2, 1945 – 2025), National Geographic, one of the world’s premier travel publications, has spotlighted eight war memorial sites in Vietnam that offer visitors powerful and educational experiences.
Despite the country’s remarkable progress since the war, Vietnam continues to honour its past through numerous museums and monuments that preserve the memory of its turbulent history. These locations have become essential destinations for history enthusiasts and those seeking deeper insight into Vietnam's journey, according to National Geographic.
Topping the list is the War Remnants Museum, home to an extensive collection of wartime artifacts including aircraft, weaponry, and unexploded ordnance. The museum provides a sobering look at the impacts of war, drawing countless visitors each year.
Formerly the Presidential Palace of South Vietnam, the Reunification Palace offers guided tours that include the underground war bunkers. Visitors can explore rooms still fitted with vintage communication equipment and period furnishings.
At Cu Chi Tunnels, guides lead visitors through narrow, camouflaged entrances into the underground tunnel network once used by Vietnamese soldiers. It provides a unique, firsthand glimpse into the conditions endured during wartime.
Located on the site of the My Lai Massacre, the Son My Memorial honours the victims of one of the most tragic events of the US-waged war in Vietnam. Despite its dark history, the peaceful setting, complete with rose-lined gardens and a reflective museum, invites quiet remembrance.
In Quang Tri province, tourists will have the chance to visit several sites which made up the most strategically important places during the war against American imperialism. Once the dividing line between North and South Vietnam, the Demilitarised Zone was one of the most contested areas during the war. Today, visitors can explore historic battlefields and learn about the area's significance.
Also in Quang Tri, Vinh Moc Tunnels served as a sanctuary for civilians during intense bombing campaigns. Between 1966 and 1972, 90 families lived underground in a complex that includes living quarters, a maternity room, and meeting spaces.
The Vietnam Military History Museum in Hanoi offers a comprehensive look at Vietnam's military past, with exhibitions of weapons, photographs, letters, and personal belongings from both soldiers and civilians. It provides an emotional and detailed perspective on the country’s fight for independence.
Last but not least, Hoa Lo Prison, known to American POWs as the "Hanoi Hilton," once housed captured U.S. pilots, including late Senator John McCain. The museum features personal effects from inmates and explores the prison’s evolution over the years.
