Included
Embark on a full-day cultural and historical journey from Ho Chi Minh City that combines three iconic destinations in southern Vietnam. Start your adventure at the Cao Dai Temple in Tay Ninh, a unique religious site representing the Cao Dai faith—a fascinating fusion of Eastern and Western spiritual philosophies. Witness the noon prayer ceremony and be awed by the temple's vibrant, ornate design.
Next, delve into the infamous Cu Chi Tunnels, an extensive underground network that served as a base for Viet Cong fighters during the Vietnam War. Learn about the ingenious design of the tunnels, the traps set for enemy soldiers, and the survival strategies of local guerrilla fighters. You'll have the chance to crawl through preserved sections of the tunnels to truly appreciate their scale and significance.
Finally, visit Black Virgin Mountain (Ba Den Mountain), the highest peak in southern Vietnam. Known for its breathtaking views, tranquil pagodas, and deep spiritual relevance, it offers a refreshing contrast to the historical intensity of the earlier stops.
