Tuc Dup Hill
Tuc Dup Hill located in Tri
Ton District, belongs to Co To Mountain, An Giang Province.
Even though Tuc Dup Hill is only 300m high, it owns an obstacle and dangerous
geography with rough cliffs forming caves getting though each other like a bee
hive.
For these distinctive characteristics together with brave fighting will and
wisdom of An Giang people, Tuc Dup became a famous fighting base in the time
being against American. During 128 days, the enemy who had a very powerful
military force such as fighting jets, artillery and infantry did not defeat our
determined fighting will. In the result, American was defeated. Thus, a terrible
name was heard “2 million - dollar hill” (the sum of money that American paid
for bullets and bombs).
Then, peace was set up. The Tuc Dup Hill, which had no trees or phenomena of
life because of the war’s impact, becomes vital with trees and becomes a
historic site recognised and classified by academic ministry. Being romantic and
next to splendid Co To Mountain, Tuc Dup Hill is visited by tourists on special
holidays so that they can see the war remains, enjoy fresh air and admire
ranging mountains. Visitors can also visit C.6 tunnel, cave for medical ward of
military, the youth tunnel and the town hall… It deserves to be an ideal amusing
place as visiting people prized.
