With tears in my eyes, I visited 'hell on earth'.

Visiting Con Dao Island, located in the middle of the ocean, you will have the opportunity to light incense and pay respects to tens of thousands of heroic martyrs who fell in what was known as the "hell on earth" under the colonial and imperial regimes.

Con Dao Prison (Con Dao District, Ba Ria - Vung Tau Province) is considered a "Communist School." It was a place for forging the character and will of revolutionary fighters during the resistance against the French and Americans. Con Dao Prison serves as a place to educate the younger generation about the heroic struggle, patriotism, and indomitable spirit of their predecessors.
