The Battle of Dien Bien Phu ended the Indochina War. Today Dien Bien Phu is a tourist

destination. Many visitors are battle veterans or members of their families. As well as visiting the

battle site, tourists can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Muong Thanh Valley, visit the neighboring

villages, and share the hospitability of the local people.

Most of the people who live in the area are members of the Thai or H’Mong ethnic

minorities. However, they do not depend on tourism alone to live. As Dien Bien Phu is only 30

kilometers from Laos border, it is an important trading center. Food leaves here for Laos and

Thailand and goods arrive back to provide for the northern provinces of Vietnam.
