History has left in Con Dao today a system of prisons, watchtowers, vestiges of torture, lime kilns, along with more than 20,000 revolutionary soldiers who survive with life. with the atmosphere and the spirit of flowers and plants here.

Contrary to the names for Con Dao (belonging to Ba Ria Vung Tau) is "hell on earth", "indomitable symbol of revolutionary will", where "the number of dead is ten times more than the living". Con Dao is now a very peaceful and fresh tourist destination.

In addition to Hang Duong Cemetery with 4 zones A, B, C, D including many mass graves, graves of heroes and martyrs: Nguyen An Ninh, Vo Thi Sau, Cao Van Ngoc, Le Hong Phong, Le Van Viet... There is also Hang Keo Cemetery with no graves. History records the painful and heroic pages when the elite sons of the Vietnamese revolution were mixed in body and soul into the land and heaven of Con Dao - on the ocean side, they lay listening to the sea sing.

The graves formerly located in Hang Keo have gathered to Hang Duong. However, in the ground, there are still the blood and bones of the martyrs that dissolve into the anonymous and rest with the sound of the ocean waves at sea.
