Dairy country
Visit a pre-arranged dairy farm, then view Pasture 68 from an authorised area and enjoy local dairy products.
Familiar names before the reorganisation: Sơn La.
Son La has many landscapes, but a short break works best in one area. This itinerary concentrates on Moc Chau’s pastures, dairy farming and gentle outdoor stops.
DEFENDING THE NATION
To Hieu — Resolve inside a prison
Worked and died in Son La Prison; born in Xuan Cau, Hung Yen.
Son La remembers an activist who sustained education and organisation in prison.
Born in Hung Yen in 1912, To Hieu was sent to Son La Prison in early 1940, where he helped organise, educate and support fellow prisoners.
He died there on 7 March 1944. His story shows how a place’s history also includes people who arrived from elsewhere.
Places to understand the story
Explore Son La Prison historical site and its martyrs cemetery.
