The Minh Dam Historical Site is an important revolutionary landmark that once served as a crucial base for revolutionary forces during their resistance wars against the French and Americans, with dense forests, jagged mountains and over 300 large and small caves.

Its name honors two revolutionary fighters, Bui Cong Minh and Mac Thanh Dam, who heroically gave their lives in the struggle for national liberation. In 1993, the site was recognized as a national historical relic and has since become a popular “red destination" for visitors seeking to connect with the country’s revolutionary past.
