I'm planning on a trip to Dien Bien Phu by bicycle from Muong Khen. Are there enough hostels?

Basically, I found hostels in Muong Khen, Mai Chau, Moc Chau, Son La, Tuan Giao and Dien Bien Phu. I'm a bit worried, though, because the distances are too high, and google maps (and websites like booking.com) does not give me more options for hotels/hostels/guesthouses. Can you tell me if and where there are more opportunities for accomodation, so that my rides will be about 50km maximum?

need a room or small apartment for rent?

I moved to Dien Bien a few days ago. Temporarily, I live on the campus and I'm looking for a room or small apartment for rent. I need basic facilities: water, electricity, daylight (a window is necessary), wifi, bathroom, toilet, kitchen. No need ac, fridge, washing machine. Thank you for your help, Lukasz

where to go ? History battle field

There're 3 places you must come when visiting in Dien Bien Phu. Just take a note....

  1. Victoria Statue The major attraction is the battlefield, its associated museum and relicts, and more recently, the largest statue in Vietnam erected to commemorate the 2004 anniversary. It is noticeable that for the adventurous visitor, this is an attractive center for majestic scenery and an access point for encounters with wide variety of ethnic minority groups that have hardly been touched by tourism

  2. A1 Hill The most important camp of the French colonists in Dien Bien Phu. Here, our soldiers and the French colonists fought for a single piece of land. After fighting fiercely for 56 days and nights, we seized the camp in the evening of May 6, 1954.

  3. Bunker of the French General De Castries - The commanding bunker of the French General De Castries and the staff at Dien Bien Phu stronghold. The original shape and size, structure and arrangement of the bunker are kept intact.

Have a safe trip and enjoy. Cheers, Ryan
