A historical review of coastal defense
The history of the coastal defense can be traced back to 40 BC, when a female general named Lê Chân established a line of defense here against the Han Dynasty. The area's geographical location makes it a strategic location, and many ancient battles were fought here.
With the rapid political and economic development, Haiphong gradually became an important commercial port. By the end of the 19th century, French colonists further developed Haiphong and established it as the main naval base in Indochina. Despite the devastation of the war, Haiphong recovered and later became an important industrial center in North Vietnam.
Witness the Battle
One of the most famous battles in Haiphong is the historic Battle of Baideng River. In this battle, the ancient hero Ngô Quyền took advantage of the terrain disadvantage and naval tactics to successfully resist the attack of the Southern Han army. This victory is hailed as one of the most obscure and impressive battles in Vietnamese history.
"Who could have foreseen that every inch of soil on this land was soaked with the blood of so many soldiers and the souls of so many heroes."
