The My Lai Massacre was a war crime committed by the US Army during the Vietnam War. In English, this massacre is named My Lai Massacre, Son My Massacre, or Pinkville, in which Pinkville is the name of the US military name for the My Lai area.
On March 16, 1968, in My Lai village in Son My commune, Son Tinh district, Quang Ngai province, US Army units massacred 504 unarmed civilians, most of them women and children.
Before being murdered, many of the victims were raped, harassed, tortured, beaten or mutilated. This catastrophic event shocked the US, Vietnam, and the world public fueled the anti-war movement, and was one of the causes leading to the withdrawal of US troops from Vietnam in 1972.
Upon arrival at My Lai Hamlet, Son My commune, Son Tinh district, our driver will give you a lot of time to explore the village and historical sites such as:
- My Lai Memorial Museum: The museum offers a detailed account of the massacre, with photographs, artifacts, and documents that provide historical context and personal stories of the victims and survivors. It also displays the impact of the massacre on the local community and the world.

- Son My Memorial: Located at the site of the massacre, this memorial includes a series of sculptures and plaques that honor the lives lost and tell the story of the events of March 16, 1968.
- The Peace Park: Adjacent to the memorial site, this park is a place for contemplation and symbolizes hope for peace and reconciliation. It features gardens, walking paths, and quiet spaces for visitors to reflect.
- The Mass Graves: These graves are where many of the victims were buried. They serve as a poignant reminder of the scale of the tragedy and the lives that were lost.
