A Historical Witness
In the long and unending war against the French’s
colonization, Cho Don was chosen to be the Safe Zone of the revolution. Since
then, this land had welcomed and protected many Central Departments, as well as
the most influential leaders of the Communist Party of Vietnam. In the time
between 1947 and 1952, almost all of the Central Departments had their headquarters in Cho Don. As a
result, the underground tunnels were built in order to protect the prominent
leaders and officers. Deep down under the ground, a whole complicated system of
paths, tunnels, rooms were created. The whole construction was covered with a
defense system that is able to withstand bombs and bullets of the enemy.
