It is located in M\u1ef9 Long and M\u1ef9 Hi\u1ec7p communes, more than 30 km from Cao L\u00e3nh City.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nDuring the resistance war against the United States, this place served as a military base. Today, X\u1ebbo Qu\u00fdt has become a well-known destination for \u201creturn-to-the-roots\u201d tours, attracting both domestic and international visitors.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For this reason, it was chosen by the Ki\u1ebfn Phong Provincial Party Committee at the time (now \u0110\u1ed3ng Th\u00e1p Province) as a resistance leadership base. The melaleuca forest was planted by local people to protect and shelter revolutionary cadres. Trenches, bomb shelters, secret tunnels, meeting houses, and other wartime structures built by the people have been carefully preserved to this day.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nUpon arriving at X\u1ebbo Qu\u00fdt, visitors are immediately immersed in a breathtaking natural landscape. During the dry season, you can wander along winding trails beneath the cool shade of melaleuca trees. In the flood season, aboard a traditional three-plank boat, female guerrillas dressed in black b\u00e0 ba outfits, checkered scarves, and boonie hats guide you through narrow, pristine canals to hidden historical sites deep within the vast melaleuca forest.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Among them are 13 species listed in the Vietnam Red Data Book, including Burmese pythons, rat snakes, otters, and box turtles. For this reason, X\u1ebbo Qu\u00fdt is often referred to as a \u201cminiature \u0110\u1ed3ng Th\u00e1p M\u01b0\u1eddi.\u201d Along the way, visitors are invited by local female guides to enjoy a light, rustic specialty of the region: lotus-leaf-wrapped rice balls with sesame salt.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn addition, the X\u1ebbo Qu\u00fdt historical site boasts a rich ecosystem with more than 170 plant species and 200 wildlife species, including 13 listed in the Vietnam Red Data Book such as Burmese pythons, rat snakes, otters, and box turtles.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nYou will relive the atmosphere of the former war zone as you observe A-shaped bomb shelters, individual L-shaped secret tunnels, and Z-shaped combat trenches\u2014faithfully restored just as they once were. There are also former \u201cno-man\u2019s-land\u201d areas where grenades were once installed to counter helicopters and armored infantry vehicles.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAmid the wild natural surroundings typical of the \u0110\u1ed3ng Th\u00e1p M\u01b0\u1eddi ecosystem, you can clearly hear the rhythmic splash of oars stirring the water, fish leaping at the surface, and the gentle rustling of wind through the leaves. Breathing in the fresh air fills your lungs, and the dust and fatigue of city life seem to wash away instantly.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nOne particularly interesting experience at X\u1ebbo Qu\u00fdt is \u201crowing out to lift fishing nets.\u201d Gently swaying on a three-plank boat along the melaleuca forest, visitors help retrieve nets to catch fish and shrimp. The fresh catch is then prepared by local people into regional specialties such as fried catfish with mango fish sauce and steamed apple snails with fermented rice.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nGrilled snakehead fish wrapped in lotus leaves, grilled field rats, sour soup with swamp eels, and charcoal-grilled frogs are among the local delicacies. There is nothing more enjoyable than savoring these dishes while listening to and interacting with traditional *\u0111\u1eddn ca t\u00e0i t\u1eed* music, then freely exploring the pristine melaleuca forest, recreational fishing, or simply hanging a hammock to rest beneath the lush green canopy.\r\n\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
