Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Cao Dai Temple, Long Thanh Bac Commune Hoa Thanh District, Tay Ninh 730000 Vietnam
At 7.15am – 7.30am pick up in Ho Chi Minh and transfer to Cao Dai Temple in Tay Ninh – a province 95 km North West of Ho Chi Minh, close to Cambodia border.
The Cao Dai Temple is like a Walt Disney fantasia of the East. Its exterior is decorated with multi-colored dragons of all shapes and sizes competing for space with a number of swastikas. Above the main entrance is the all-seeing holy eye, the symbol of the Cao Dai sect. The interior is just as engaging as statues of Jesus Christ, Buddha and the Hindu god, Brahma, stand side by side. Do not miss the opportunity to assist the very particular prayer ceremony in the temple.
Then you will be taken to a local restaurant for lunch.
Duration: 4 hours
Stop At: Cu Chi Tunnels, Phu Hiep TL15 Phu Hiep, Ho Chi Minh City 700000 Vietnam
In the afternoon, you will leave Tay Ninh and travel to Cu Chi Tunnel. This is where guerilla warfare is exemplified and you will learn about the clever design of the tunnels and the strategic use of trap doors. Even with B-52 bombers dropping 30-ton loads of explosive, turning the jungle into a pockmarked moonscape, 30 thousand American troops failed to conquered the area! You will be offered the opportunity to crawl around a portion of the 121 km long, multiple-layered tunnel and learn how thousands of guerillas managed to stay underground for many days at a time, also their great technique to conceal smoke from their cooking. There’re a lot more to enjoy and even a chance to fire with real weapons like AK47 for an additional fee.
You will be back in Ho Chi Minh around 6.00pm – 7.00pm.
Duration: 4 hours
