The most famous historical relic in Bac Kan is ATK, the complex of underground tunnels and rooms emboldened by a missile defense system in Cho Don (Bac Kan).
ATK is located in Bang Lung Townlet, Cho Don District, Bac Kan Province. It consists of a complex of underground tunnels and rooms emboldened by a missile defense system in Cho Don.
This unique and invincible complex was one of the most important venues of the Vietnam Army from 1946 to 1954, where President Ho Chi Minh and many other leaders gathered, discussed and made vital decision involving the destiny of the nation.
In the long and unending war against the French's colonization, Cho Don was chosen to be the Safe Zone of the revolution. Since then, this land had welcomed and protected many Central Departments, as well as the most influential leaders of the Communist Party of Vietnam.
In the time between 1947 and 1952, almost all of the Central Departments had their headquarters in Cho Don. As a result, the underground tunnels were built in order to protect the prominent leaders and officers. Deep down under the ground, a whole complicated system of paths, tunnels, rooms were created. he whole construction was covered with a defense system that is able to withstand bombs and bullets of the enemy.
Coming to ATK in particular and Cho Don in general, tourists in Vietnam travel can not only visit many historical sites but also learn more about the lives of the local inhabitants, discovering their most beautiful cultural essences which can only be found there.
