Him Lam Resistance Center is located in the central area of Dien Bien Phu stronghold, 2.5km northeast of General De Castries's command post and is known as the "steel door" of the stronghold. Him Lam Resistance Center is built into 3 strongholds on 3 hills forming a tripod position.
Each stronghold has a system of fortified tunnels, trenches, bunkers, and battle fields built solidly with layers of barbed wire fences from rafters, roofs, springs to pig cages...
To win the opening battle of Him Lam in the Dien Bien Phu Campaign, the land of Him Lam hill was soaked with the blood of hero Phan Dinh Giot and many of his comrades fell bravely.
