Cu Chi tunnels Tour
8 am (or 1 pm): Pick you up from the hotel and depart from Ho Chi Minh City to Cu Chi. Leaving the city behind, the scenery changes to rice paddies with villagers drying noodles by the side of the road and other scenes of Southern Vietnam.
Arrive at Cu Chi and start the visit to the famous tunnels. It is an impressive network of tunnels with a length of over 250 km. 15,000 Viet Cong fighters used this strategic place during the war. This primary axis system has many branches connecting underground hideouts, shelters, and entrances to other tunnels. The tunnels are between 0.5 to 1 m wide, just enough space for a person to walk along by bending or dragging. However, parts of the tunnels have been modified to accommodate visitors. The upper soil layer is between 3 to 4 m thick and can support the weight of a 50-ton tank and the damage of light cannons and bombs. The underground network provided sleeping quarters, meeting rooms, hospitals, and other social rooms.
Watch a movie related to the Vietnam war.
Spend your time inspecting the tunnel site, visiting the gates, traps, underground hospitals, worships, kitchens and bunkers, and going through a section of the tunnel.
Head to the National Defence Sports Shooting range to try firing M16, AK47 and carbine rifles.
Transfer back to your hotel at 14.30 (or 17.30).
