2. The Cu Chi Tunnels, once known as the formidable "Iron Triangle" during the Vietnam War, form an intricate underground network that served as a strategic military base for Vietnamese resistance forces. Once a devastated "dead land," relentlessly bombarded by millions of explosives, Cu Chi now stands as a testament to resilience and ingenuity. Today, this historic battlefield is more than just a relic of war—it is a living museum, blending legendary wartime history with the rich cultural identity of the Vietnamese people. Afternoon: We will depart from Cu Chi to My Tho city for two hours by car. On the way to My Tho, we stop at restaurant to have a lunch.

About Ho Chi Minhstad

Ho Chi Minhstad, vaak nog Saigon genoemd, is het bruisende handelscentrum van Vietnam met Frans koloniaal erfgoed, oorlogsgeschiedenis en straatvoedsel.

District 1 herbergt de belangrijkste bezienswaardigheden op loopafstand: de roodstenen Notre-Dame-kathedraal, het sierlijke Centrale Postkantoor met zijn gewelfde hal, het koloniale Operahuis en het rijk versierde Stadhuis. In het Onafhankelijkheidspaleis zijn de kamers bewaard zoals ze aan het einde van de oorlog waren, en het Museum van de Oorlogsresten vertelt het verhaal van het conflict met ontnuchterende openheid.

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