Quang Tri town during the 81 days and nights from June 28 to September 16 was likened to a bag of bombs. On average, every day the enemy mobilized jet planes 150-170 times and B52s 70-90 times to bomb and destroy the town and Quang Tri Ancient Citadel.

We were determined to keep the city, while the enemy tried to capture the city at all costs. Thousands of soldiers sacrificed their lives here, but their remains have not yet been retrieved because there was too much smoke, fire, and bombs. Their blood and bones have mixed into the rubble and rubble. That's why today at the center of the monument, people built a memorial to form a common grave for thousands of soldiers who fell during these fierce days and nights. This mass grave was designed according to the concept of yin and yang philosophy, which has a profound meaning to escape the souls of the deceased. There are 81 stairs going up, symbolizing 81 days and nights of fighting in Quang Tri ancient citadel. Source: Quang Tri Provincial Museum and Monument Management Center

Southern school. The people who went ahead carved stones to pave the way for our troops to follow, and that's why it was called Da Deo Pass. The terrain in Da Deo Pass area is quite diverse with alternating hills and valleys and divided by high mountains on one side and deep abysses on the other. The pass has sharp curves, quite steep slopes, and a lot of erosion. The climate here is extremely harsh with Laotian wind, scorching sun, constant rain and floods... During the war years, Da Deo Pass was one of the fiercest spots, bombarded day and night. Fighter planes and B52s bombed continuously, in addition to artillery from the US 7th Fleet firing from the East Sea. This place seemed to have been flattened to the ground by enemy bombs. Countless young volunteers have fallen to ensure traffic on key roads. The war is so cruel, the bombs are so fierce, but Da Deo Pass still stands tall and proud. With bare hands, not afraid of the hardships and dangers of soldiers and young volunteers. All with the spirit of "blood can be spilled, roads cannot be blocked", after the sound of the bomb stopped, all the brothers and sisters rushed to the street to fill the bomb hole and repair the damage. When the industrialized and modernized Ho Chi Minh Trail was built, Da Deo Pass was renovated and upgraded. Becoming a very meaningful tourist route to visit ancient battlefields. Right at the top of the pass, there is still a stone stele marking the historical period: "Da Deo Pass was the focus of fierce bombardment by the US Air Force from 1965 to 1972". When passing through Da Deo Pass, we can feel some of the brutality of war, and also commemorate the children who sacrificed for the cause of national liberation. The heroic stories and legends here will be passed on forever into the future. Right at the foot of Da Deo Pass is Cha Noi Valley, a beautiful wild scene. Nestled next to the majestic limestone mountains in Phong Nha Ke Bang, there are rivers and streams, surrounded by mist. Source: Quang Binh Tourism
