Charlie Hill

Charlie Hill, also known as Hill 1015 or Doi Charlie, is a historic hilltop site near Tan Canh in Dak To District, Quang Ngai Province, Vietnam. Located about 10 km south of Dak To town along the Central Highlands, it is notable as a former battlefield from the Vietnam War, particularly the Battle of Dak To in 1967 and the Battle of Charlie in April 1972. Today it features a memorial and offers panoramic views of the surrounding highlands.

Visitors can expect a forested hilltop reached by unpaved paths and steps, with a central memorial monument commemorating soldiers who served at the site. The summit provides open views over the Dak To valley, surrounding mountains and forests. The area is quiet and largely natural, with memorial plaques, flag poles and remnants of former defensive positions. There are no large commercial facilities; the visit is focused on sightseeing, photography and reflection at the memorial.

Charlie Hill (Hill 1015) was a strategic high point during the Vietnam War. It was contested during the Battle of Dak To in November 1967 and became widely known for the Battle of Charlie from 12-14 April 1972, when the 11th Airborne Battalion of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam defended the hill. A memorial now marks the site in honor of those who served there.

The hill serves as a memorial and commemorative site for Vietnamese soldiers, visited for remembrance and education about Central Highlands wartime history. Annual commemorative activities are held by local authorities and veteran groups.
