Tuc Dup Hill
Đồi Tức Dụp
A mountain stronghold from the American War, with interconnected caves in a pile of boulders, nicknamed 'Million Dollar Hill.'
Tuc Dup Hill is a small hill made of stacked boulders, with interconnected rock caves. During the American War, Vietnamese guerrilla fighters held out here for 128 days. Even after American forces dropped large quantities of bombs, they could not take it, and because the cost was so enormous it became known as 'Million Dollar Hill.' Today it is a national historic site. You can crawl into the caves, and there is a memorial and an exhibition hall on the hill. It is about 45 kilometers from Chau Doc and can be visited on the same day as Ta Pa Lake.
