About this location

The Co Noi Junction Youth Volunteer Monument - A historical landmark of the Dien Bien Phu Campaign. The Youth Volunteer Monument is located within the Co Noi Junction Historical Site, Mai Son Commune, Son La Province. This site is associated with the Youth Volunteer force during the Dien Bien Phu Campaign, where many officers and soldiers sacrificed their lives to ensure traffic flow, keep roads open, and transport supplies to the battlefield. The site was designated a National Historical Monument in 2004 and has been continuously restored and promoted in recent years. The monument complex was inaugurated in 2002, featuring a group of three youth volunteers in various poses, set upon a large stone pedestal. Behind it is a relief system depicting soldiers and civilians heading to the front, as well as the Youth Volunteer force performing their duties on the route to Dien Bien Phu. The site is situated amidst the mountainous terrain of the Northwest, combining a memorial plaza, greenery, and spiritual structures, creating a solemn atmosphere rich in historical depth. From the monument area, film crews can capture angles of the statues, reliefs, the memorial plaza, the mountainous landscape, and the entire Co Noi Junction space. This location is suitable for historical films, documentaries, revolutionary/war-themed films, music videos, or scenes recreating the atmosphere of the strategic routes during the Dien Bien Phu Campaign.
