Cang Bac Me National Historical Relic Area
Bac Me Cang - a historical relic during the resistance war against the French, is located on the slopes of Dragon Mountain in Don Dien village, Yen Cuong commune, Bac Me district, Ha Giang province. Bac Me Cang was built by the French before 1938 during their occupation of Ha Giang.

Bac Me Cang is built on the rugged, soaring rocky slopes. Behind is Dragon Mountain as a shield to protect this post, in front is the Gam River, making it easy to observe and cover the situation. Bac Me stretch was originally built by the French to control the arterial road connecting 3 northern mountainous provinces: Ha Giang, Tuyen Quang, and Cao Bang. When it was first built, it was used as a military camp to gather French soldiers and henchmen during the occupation of this area. The reason this place is called Cang Bac Me is because in French, Cang means "fort", and in the local language, Bac Me is "Pac Mia", which means hut door. Refers to the post where the troops were stationed as well as where the French colonial observation post was located. Bac Me stretch was built including a system of posts, information houses, and guard posts to serve their ruling purposes. From 1939 to 1942, Cang Bac Me was turned into a prisoner of war camp by the French to detain communist soldiers they captured. There are many of our patriotic revolutionary comrades detained here such as: comrades Xuan Thuy, Hoang Hui Nam, Hoang Bac Dung, Le Gian, Nguyen Hong, Dang Viet Chau... Taking advantage of the key terrain of the post built in the sacred forests and dangerous waters of this area. They arrested political prisoners and patriotic communist soldiers and imprisoned them here. Every day, those soldiers had to endure torture and labor in harsh and miserable conditions under their strict control in order to extinguish the patriotism and revolutionary will of their children. They are called Viet Cong. But all those hardships could not overcome the stubborn will of our people. The patriots turned pain into action, turning prisons into political schools. They established Party cells in prison, actively distributed leaflets and contacted people and soldiers outside. Faced with strong fighting activities of prisoners and people in the area, they were forced to change the place of detention with their communist comrades to other places. By 1992, Bac Me Cang was recognized as a national revolutionary historical relic. Over time this place has been greatly damaged. In 2003, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Ha Giang province coordinated with agencies in the province, along with Bac Me District, to restore a number of items of the relic such as: watchtower, prison, up and down road...

Con Moong Cave: located in Upper Triassic limestone mountains of Dong Giao formation (Tađg), about 240 million years old. Con Moong Cave has an average strata thickness of 9.5m - including 10 layers with different structures. From layer 1 to layer 6 (depth from 1m - 6m), many working tools, animal bones, and mollusk shells were found. Grades 7 to 10 did not encounter any remains of flora or fauna, but there were many thin tools made of quartz, most concentrated in grade 10. According to initial research, Con Moong cave went through 4 stages of development. cultural development. Results of radiocarbon (C14) research on the upper layers, magnetic susceptibility, sedimentary set at Con Moong and cultural compatibility comparison with other archaeological sites show that the earliest age of Con Moong is expected. Guess 40,000 to 60,000 years ago. From the results of archaeological excavations, Con Moong cave is one of the very few archaeological sites with the thickest and best-preserved strata today in Vietnam and Southeast Asia. 2.

Remains of the top cultural layer at Con Moong include ground axes and rudimentary hammered ceramics compatible with the earliest layer of the Da But culture, showing that the migration of Con Moong cave residents gradually moved down to the plain. along the coast, establishing the Da But culture. - In parallel with completing the excavation of Con Moong cave, scientists have surveyed, excavated and researched caves around the Con Moong cave area. This shows that Con Moong is the most ancient relic, with a certain relationship with surrounding relics at different levels. From Con Moong, over tens of thousands of years, due to changes in climate and weather leading to expanded living environments, and the increasingly advanced industry of making tools for work and living, primitive people have separated from each other. out in groups, moving to Mang Chieng cave, Diem cave, Lai cave, Moc Long cave, Moc Long rock roof, Bitter Cave (Ancient Man Cave), Bo Giao cave...
