Muong Phang given the Thai people's name for this place, which translates to "frozen area" during winter, it becomes evident that its altitude of 960 meters above sea level sets it apart from Dien Bien Phu, which about at 480 meters. This region, situated near the mountainside, was a jungle that is partially concealed by a dense mist, preventing French aircraft from discovering the hidden base. Additionally, General Giap has the advantage of being able to reach the mountain's summit, a four-kilometer uphill trek, where an observation post is stationed. Took advantage of this elevated position, he can effectively oversee the progress of the campaign through his binoculars, closely monitoring the success of the attack strategies.
