Tay Tien Regiment Memorial Site

About this location

Tay Tien Memorial Site - A testament to the Tay Tien soldiers on the Moc Chau Plateau. The Tay Tien Regiment 52 Memorial Site, located in Moc Chau Town, Son La Province, is associated with the early operations of the Tay Tien troops in the Northwest region. In October 1945, the first Tay Tien unit marched to the Northwest and stationed in Ban Vat; this location served as the headquarters for the Tay Tien Detachment and the representative office of the Viet Minh General Headquarters in Son La. The site was designated a National Monument in 2017. The site is situated amidst the characteristic landscape of the Moc Chau Plateau, combining memorial structures with hills, greenery, and village spaces. The area carries a solemn atmosphere while maintaining the openness of the highland landscape, providing excellent opportunities for capturing imagery related to soldiers, wartime life, and the nature of the Northwest. From the memorial site, production crews can capture angles of the memorial structures, the Ban Vat village space, mountain scenery, and incense-offering or commemorative activities. The location is suitable for historical films, war/revolutionary dramas, documentaries, music videos, or scenes recreating the image of Tay Tien soldiers and the Northwest during the resistance period.
