Dien Bien gears up for Dien Bien Phu victory celebration


The northwestern province of Dien Bien is installing a system of mega outdoor LED screens, each measuring 40-60 square metres, to serve the celebration of 70 years of Dien Bien Phu victory.

According to the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, 15 screens will be put up across Dien Bien Phu city, including May 7 Square, Him Lam Square, Dien Bien Phu victory monument and Dien Bien Phu Airport.

Besides popularising this important event, the screens will help public enjoy the grand celebration on May 7.
