Tiêu đề: Cô Tô Mountain & Tức Dụp Hill

Lời giới thiệu: Núi Cô Tô/ Phụng Hoàng Sơn (Co To Mountain) is located in Tri Tôn district, An Giang province. The mountain is the third longest mountain in the range of Seven mountain with 5.800m long, 614m high and 3.700m wide. A series of artificial lakes were created around Co To mountain to irrigate hundreds of hectares of rice fields and provide water for people in the area. Hồ Ô Thum (Ô Thum Lake) Hồ Soài So (Soai So Lake) is about 5 hectares wide, with a capacity of about 400,000m³, dug between 1986 to 1994. Hồ Đá Cô Tô (Co To Stone Lake) Đồi Tức Dụp / Tuc Dup Hill (216m high) it's located on the western slope of Co To Mountain Tri Tôn District, An Giang Province. The hill is known for the network of underground caves linked by narrow passageways. The caves were used by Vietnamese soldiers during the Vietnam War for weapon storage. The caves could accommodate up to 150 people. U.S. and Vietnamese soldiers battled 128 days (November 16, 1968, to March 24, 1969) for this hill. The amount of bombs dropped by the U.S. in an attempt to secure the hill was calculated to be around 2 million dollars. Because of that, locals are calling it "Two Million Dollar Hill". The mountain is surrounded by rice fields. Near the harvest season, the rice fields will turn into vibrant colors: green, yellow, and brown.
