Itinerary
Pick up at your hotels and depart for Cu Chi. It may be an approximately 1.5-hour drive from the heart of downtown. On arrival, through a short video, you are given an introduction of how Cu Chi Tunnels was made and Vietnamese people suffered the hardships during the period of war. Be taken to discover the remaining area and a part of the tunnel network which embraces special living areas – kitchens and bedrooms side by side, and martial facilities – weapon factories, storage, command centers, and field hospitals. Additionally, gain a chance to know about dangerous traps and hidden trap doors inside the maze-like tunnels for the guerrillas’ security purpose during the war time. Interestingly, taste special tea and cassava which was once the everyday food of the former Vietnamese guerrillas. Relax before heading towards the Mekong Delta.
Stop for lunch en route. Upon arriving in My Tho Province, go on a sightseeing trip to see the stunning architecture and the solemn space of Vinh Trang Pagoda. Later, take a leisurely cruise along Tien River while witnessing the rural scenery, such as traditional stilt houses, fishing ports, boat- building workshops, and outstanding islands – Unicorn, Dragon, Tortoise, and Phoenix. Pay a visit to a coconut candy mill – a family business and then be rowed along small canals by wooden sampans under the shadow of water coconut trees to soak up the pleasant atmosphere of the river region. Savor seasonal fruits, take a sip of honey tea, and get a sense of “Southern Vietnamese folk music”, performed by the locals. Come back to Ho Chi Minh City. End the trip.
