This is a large-scale cemetery built with bricks, each stone stele is attached with a star and next to it is a small vase of flowers donated to the cemetery by Viettel Military Industry and Telecommunications Group. At the bottom of the cemetery is an incense offering ceremony with a 15m high memorial.

More than 60 years have passed, but the fierceness of the Dien Bien battlefield, the courage and the spirit of bloodless sacrifice of the soldiers and compatriots participating in the campaign to bring victory "shocked the earth" still echoes in the hearts of every Vietnamese as well as friends around the world. To make that glorious history page, thousands of soldiers fought bravely and stayed here forever. Every visitor coming to Dien Bien wishes to come to the martyrs cemeteries to offer incense to pay tribute to the heroes and martyrs who sacrificed for the peace of the country./.
