This zone offers a unique opportunity to witness firsthand how the war affected the daily lives of the people who lived and fought in Củ Chi between 1961 and 1972.
After that, we will spend around 1.5 – 2 hours at the tunnels area. Your visits will include, in no specific order: * Watch a brief propaganda video about the Việt Nam War to gain a deeper understanding of the Vietnamese perspective.

The Independence Palace preserves its rooms as they were at the end of the war, and the War Remnants Museum tells the story of the conflict with sobering directness.
