Arrive at Tan Son Nhat International Airport, welcome by
our guide and transfer to your hotel. Ho Chi Minh City formerly named Saigon is
the largest city and economic center of Vietnam always bustled with activities
of modern life. It is where businesses converge and shoppers indulge themselves
into unlimited choices. However the city also carries with it a rich historical
legacy in contrast with its dazzling glamor.

Afternoon, on the return to the city, stop to discover
the Cu Chi Tunnels which was once a
major underground hideout and resistance base of Viet Cong forces during the
two wars against the French and later on Americans. The tunnels, entirely
hand-dug, formed a highly intricate network of interlinked multilevel
passageways at times stretched as far as the Cambodian border and totaling over
120 km in length. Its complexity was beyond imagination containing meeting
rooms, kitchens, wells, clinics, schools, depots, trenches and emergency exits
all aimed for guerrilla warfare. The tunnels were deep and strong enough to
withstand destructive bombings and self-contained enough to outlast prolonged sieges.
Back to Ho Chi Minh City.
