Hoi An To My Lai Massacre Trip Information
What To Know About My Lai Massacre?
In 1968, during a time when Vietnam was under American military occupation, a deeply tragic event occurred in My Lai village, Son My commune, Quang Ngai province. A unit of American soldiers attacked this peaceful village, harming women, the elderly, and children, resulting in the deaths of over 500 innocent civilians. This remains one of the indelible stains of American colonialism on Vietnam.
Today, this site has been transformed into a memorial and museum to commemorate the sacrifices of the people of My Lai. Visiting here allows you to learn about history and gain a deeper understanding of the heroic history of the Vietnamese nation.
