Da Deo Pass

Da Deo Pass

Da Deo Pass is located on the legendary Eastern Ho Chi Minh Trail associated with Vietnamese history. The 17km long pass is located in Thuong Hoa commune, Minh Hoa district, Quang Binh province. The reason people call it Da Deo Pass is because the pass lies across the top of a limestone mountain more than 10 km long. In the past, it was just a small trail, but during the Vietnam War, heroic youth volunteers opened Truong Son Road, a vital road for transporting troops, food, weapons... to support the war. Southern school. The people who went ahead carved stones to pave the way for our troops to follow, and that's why it was called Da Deo Pass. The terrain in Da Deo Pass area is quite diverse with alternating hills and valleys and divided by high mountains on one side and deep abysses on the other. The pass has sharp curves, quite steep slopes, and a lot of erosion. The climate here is extremely harsh with Laotian wind, scorching sun, constant rain and floods... During the war years, Da Deo Pass was one of the fiercest spots, bombarded day and night. Fighter planes and B52s bombed continuously, in addition to artillery from the US 7th Fleet firing from the East Sea. This place seemed to have been flattened to the ground by enemy bombs. Countless young volunteers have fallen to ensure traffic on key roads. The war is so cruel, the bombs are so fierce, but Da Deo Pass still stands tall and proud. With bare hands, not afraid of the hardships and dangers of soldiers and young volunteers. All with the spirit of "blood can be spilled, roads cannot be blocked", after the sound of the bomb stopped, all the brothers and sisters rushed to the street to fill the bomb hole and repair the damage. When the industrialized and modernized Ho Chi Minh Trail was built, Da Deo Pass was renovated and upgraded. Becoming a very meaningful tourist route to visit ancient battlefields. Right at the top of the pass, there is still a stone stele marking the historical period: "Da Deo Pass was the focus of fierce bombardment by the US Air Force from 1965 to 1972". When passing through Da Deo Pass, we can feel some of the brutality of war, and also commemorate the children who sacrificed for the cause of national liberation. The heroic stories and legends here will be passed on forever into the future. Right at the foot of Da Deo Pass is Cha Noi Valley, a beautiful wild scene. Nestled next to the majestic limestone mountains in Phong Nha Ke Bang, there are rivers and streams, surrounded by mist. Source: Quang Binh Tourism
