Attraction Introduction

 

Cu Chi Tunnels | A Testament to Resilience

The Cu Chi Tunnels are a legendary underground network used by the Viet Cong during the Vietnam War. Stretching over 250 km, this intricate system functioned as a hidden city, complete with living areas, kitchens, field hospitals, and command centers. Today, it stands as a powerful symbol of Vietnamese ingenuity and resilience. Visitors can explore the tunnels, see the ingenious traps, and gain a deeper understanding of the war's history. It is a must-visit destination for history buffs and travelers seeking to understand the region's past.

Mekong Delta | The Rice Bowl of Vietnam

Known as the "Rice Bowl" of Vietnam, the Mekong Delta is a lush water-world of winding canals and vibrant greenery. Here, life revolves around the river. You can hop on a traditional boat to weave through the dense water coconut forests, visit local coconut candy workshops and honey farms, and immerse yourself in the peaceful rural lifestyle. Savoring fresh tropical fruits and authentic local cuisine here is the best way to experience the true culture of Southern Vietnam.
