Place of creation: Xeo Quyt Melaleuca Forest, Phường Cao Lãnh, Đồng Tháp, Việt Nam

Xeo Quyt Melaleuca Forest, in Dong Thap province, is not only famous for the pristine beauty of its flooded forest ecosystem but is also known as a "living history museum" associated with the resistance war against the US to save the country. Weaving on small boats in the green water shaded by Melaleuca trees, visitors not only admire the wild natural landscape, hear the echoing birdsong but also have the opportunity to find heroic vestiges of a time of war and bullets. This place used to be an important revolutionary base, a place to shelter and hide secret cadres and soldiers, preparing forces for the struggle to liberate the South. In the middle of the dense Melaleuca forest, the bunkers, trenches, and Hoang Cam kitchen are still preserved, as a reminder to today's generation of the steadfast, indomitable spirit and passionate patriotism of their ancestors. Xeo Quyt therefore not only has ecological tourism value but also has profound historical significance, becoming a symbol associated with the aspiration for independence, freedom and victory of national liberation.
