| 2. Cu Chi Tunnels Tours (~5
hours) |
|
The tunnels of Cu Chi are an immense
network of connecting underground tunnels located
in the Cu Chi
district of Vietnam, and are part of a much larger
network of tunnels that underlie much of the
country. The Cu Chi tunnels were the location of
several military campaigns during the Vietnam War,
and were the Viet Cong base of operations for the
Tet Offensive in 1968. The tunnels were used by
Viet Cong guerrillas as hiding spots during
combat, as well as serving as communication and
supply routes, hospitals, food and weapon caches
and living quarters for numerous guerrilla
fighters. The role of the tunnel systems should
not be underestimated in its importance to the
Viet Cong in resisting American operations and
protracting the war, eventually persuading the
weary Americans into withdrawal.

Ninh) |

Tay Ninh, near the Cambodian border,
is home to the unique Cao Dai sect, whose patron
saints include Joan of Arc, Victor Hugo and
Winston Churchill to name a few. The religion is
an odd mix of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism and
Christianity. The trip to Tay Ninh is combined
with a visit to the Cu Chi Tunnels. At its height,
