2. The boat docks at the Bến Đình pier. The group disembarks and begins the site visit. Bến Đình is the main publicly accessible section of the Cu Chi tunnel network, situated directly on the Saigon River. A short documentary (~20 minutes) covers the construction and use of the Cu Chi tunnel network, daily underground life, and the military campaign in the Cu Chi district. Your guide adds context before the outdoor exploration begins. The guide leads the group through the site on foot: concealed trapdoor entrances in the jungle floor, booby trap displays, bomb craters, and underground sections (kitchens, meeting rooms, storage). The optional tunnel crawl — a widened section of the original system — is available for those who want the full underground experience. Cassava and hot tea tasting follows the exploration. Period weapons available at the on-site shooting range (AK-47, M-16, and others). Approximately $1–2 USD per bullet, minimum 10 bullets, payable on site. Entirely optional.

About Ho Chi Minh City

Ho-Chi-Minh-Stadt, noch oft Saigon genannt, ist Vietnams pulsierendes Handelszentrum mit französischen Kolonialbauten, Kriegsgeschichte und Streetfood.

Distrikt 1 vereint die wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten in Gehweite: die rote Backstein-Kathedrale Notre-Dame, das elegante Hauptpostamt mit seiner gewölbten Halle, das koloniale Opernhaus und das verzierte Rathaus. Der Unabhängigkeitspalast bewahrt seine Räume so, wie sie am Kriegsende waren, und das Kriegsreste-Museum erzählt die Geschichte des Konflikts mit ernüchternder Direktheit.

Top-ranked sights in Ho Chi Minh City: Cu Chi Tunnels, Saigon Opera House (Opéra de Saïgon), Saigon Central Post Office.
