HO CHI MINH City Tour

Formerly known as Saigon…. Still called Saigon by most. Once referred to as the Paris of the Orient, now you can still marvel at the French architectural influence. This is where economic reforms are most evident. Visit to the Reunification Hall, Thien Hau temple, Historical Museum, Giac Lam pagoda and Lam Son lacquer ware factory. Don’t miss the Central market, Chinatown, War Crimes Museum, and Vinh Nghiem pagoda.

CU CHI Tunnel

The Cu Chi tunnels consist of a vast network of more than 150 miles of underground tunnels near Tay Ninh, 30 miles northwest of Saigon. These tunnels were constructed and used by the Viet cong to conduct operations, sometimes within the perimeters of US military bases, and hide from the enemy. This is where they lived, slept and ate. There were even street signs under the earth to help guide the guerrillas and newcomers.

CAO DAI Temple

65 miles from Saigon, Tay Ninh is the home of the magnificent, if not bizarre, religious sect called Cao Dai. The Cao Dai Holy temple, with its European influence in Oriental architecture, is one of the most intriguing temples in all of Southeast Asia, if not the world.
