Khe Sanh



Khe Sanh is a large town in the west of Quảng Trị Province in the North Central Region of Vietnam. It is located at a low-point in the Annamite Mountains, near the border with Laos.

The city is known for the 1968 Battle of Khe Sanh during the Vietnam War, and was a major U.S. combat base. Today, however, it is a quiet town in the hills. Near the town is a border crossing into Laos.
