Xeo Quyt Relic

Xeo Quyt Relic is a national historic site located in My Hiep and My Long communes, Cao Lanh District, about 30 km from Cao Lanh city, Dong Thap Province. The 52-hectare cajeput forest and wetland served as a revolutionary base from 1960 to 1975. Today it is preserved as a forest park with restored bunkers, underground shelters and canals, notable for its natural landscape and wartime history.

Visitors can explore a dense cajeput forest and wetland crisscrossed by narrow canals. The main experience is a small rowing boat ride under the forest canopy, with walking paths on wooden tracks and earthen trails connecting restored wartime structures such as thatched bunkers, field hospitals, meeting huts and underground shelters. The area is quiet, shaded, with abundant birds, fish and aquatic plants, and includes an exhibition area with artifacts and maps.

Xeo Quyt served as the base of the Dong Thap provincial revolutionary forces during 1960-1975. The forested wetland provided cover for offices, shelters and logistics. After the period, the site was preserved and was recognized as a National Historic Relic in 1992, with restored structures illustrating base life and organization during that time.

The site is a preserved example of Mekong Delta wetland landscape and cajeput forest culture, and is valued locally as an educational site about regional history and traditional forest-based livelihoods. It is a prominent cultural and eco-tourism destination in Dong Thap Province.
