On the other sides, there are roads leading through Laos and to the North in case of retreat, so this place has been chosen by the feudal monarchy through the ages as a border guard post and mountain guard station. In 1883, it changed to Quang Tri Son Phong, also known as Tan So citadel. The resistance base in Tan So began construction in 1883 and was completed in 1885. Under the direction of mandarins: Nguyen Van Tuong, Ton That Le, Dang Duy Cat, thousands of soldiers and villagers worked diligently day and night.
