The Dien Bien Phu campaign headquarters lies in primary forest in Muong Phang commune, about 35 kilometres east of central Dien Bien Phu. It was where General Vo Nguyen Giap, Chief of Staff Hoang Van Thai and the campaign command worked in 1954. The site includes a watch post, a communications bunker, an observation post, the hut where General Giap lived and worked, the hut of Chief of Staff Hoang Van Thai, and a 96 metre tunnel through the hillside linking the huts. The simple shelters under the trees help visitors picture how an entire campaign was directed from this hidden spot. The headquarters is a component site of the Dien Bien Phu battlefield complex.
