Itinerary
Arrive at the Cu Chi Tunnels and discover how the Viet Cong used this underground maze to survive and fight during the war. Explore hidden field hospitals, weapon factories, and command centers built beneath the surface, gaining a vivid sense of the ingenuity and resilience that shaped this historic site.
At 1:00 PM, depart for the Cao Dai Holy See in Tay Ninh, about a 2-hour drive from Cu Chi. Along the way, learn about Caodaism, a uniquely Vietnamese religion that worships the "Eye of God" and blends elements of Buddhism, Christianity, Taoism, and Confucianism into one colorful faith.
Next, head to Ba Den Mountain and take a scenic cable car ride to the summit — the highest peak in Southern Vietnam. At the top, admire Asia's tallest bronze Buddha statue and take in sweeping panoramic views of the countryside and rice fields stretching all the way toward the Cambodian border.
