| | Viengxay, heroic zone of Laos |
 | | Nouhak Phoumsavanh, currently advisor to the Lao People's Revolutionary Party Central Committee, said in the Viengxay film, "Viengxay district was a stronghold of the Lao leaders during the protracted struggle for national liberation." Nouhak was a Lao Patriotic Front leader who lived there and fought for national liberation war. |
 | | He said, "Many of us, and especially those who had never been to the town, appreciated the geography of Viengxay that guaranteed the safety of the town's inhabitants." It became an heroic place, serving the revolutionary combatants, who fought shoulder to shoulder against the night-and-day air and land attacks. |
 | | The design of the other caves was very similar, and they housed leaders such as Nouhak Phoumsavanh, Souphanouvong, Phoumy Vongvichith, and Khamtay Siphandone. |
