Thu Vật

Thu Vật lay in the hill country east of the Red River, in the area of Yên Bình. Under the Trần dynasty it was a settlement within Tuyên Quang, and its valleys and villages belonged to the northern upland frontier. In 1285 the forces of Trần Nhật Duật fought invading Mongol troops in this country, an episode remembered in the history of the resistance to the Yuan invasion.
