BEST 07 DAYS TRAVEL TO VIETNAM FROM SRI LANKA – Part 2

Vietnam is an exhilarating country to travel. Vibrant street life, exquisite food and epic landscapes await you here. A nation on the move, Vietnam balances cool urban culture with traditional values. In the cities, ancient pagodas squat just around the corner from sleek rooftop bars; and in the countryside, life still follows the rhythms of the rivers and the rice harvest. This contrast between old and new Vietnam is a big part of its appeal. Another great reason to visit Vietnam is its diverse natural beauty. The capital of Hanoi is your gateway to the treasures of the north: spectacular mountains and bays studded with karsts. In the south, Ho Chi Minh City will entice you with its captivating streets (just watch out for those motorcycles). Let’s make your journey an unforgettable one! Let’s explore the beauty of Vietnam together!

Day 05: Ho Chi Minh City – Cu Chi Tunnels – City Tour

07h30: Enjoy breakfast at the hotel. 

08h00: Depart from the hotel to Cu Chi Tunnel (it takes an hour to go)

Cu Chi Tunnels: an underground tunnels network constructed by Vietnamese fighters during the struggle for independence. It took about 25 years to build this underground city, which has living rooms, kitchens, hospitals, weapon factories, storage facilities and a command center.

The tunnel system was an excellent way for the Vietcong to move around the countryside undetected by the Americans and home to around 10,000 people who lived underground for several years.

Before we go underground, we watch a short introductory video showing how the tunnels were constructed. We then spend the next hour exploring the maze of tunnels. Also on display are various mantras and the remains of an American tank as well as numerous bomb craters made by 500 pound bombs dropped by B52 bombers.

12h00: Have lunch at the restaurant, 

14h00: Arrive Ho Chi Minh City, start the afternoon city tour

Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral among world’s most beautiful

Notre Dame Cathedral: Located in the heart of the city and it was built by the French in the late 1877s. Notre Dame is not just the oldest Christian church of Vietnam but also a unique and excellent architecture of Saigon.

The General Post Office (Designed by Gustav Eiffel), the Post Office is a testament to the French presence in the late 1800s. The look and feel of this grand building is like an elegant railway station.

Jade Emperor Temple: It’s one of the best Taoist temples in Vietnam, with superb effigies, remarkable carved panels of the descent to Hell and somewhat incongruous terrapin and tortoise sanctuaries. You can choose to visit Jade Emperor Temple or War Museum or Reunification Palace. 

Ben Thanh market: one of the liveliest areas of Ho Chi Minh City, is packed with every conceivable commodity and a visit to lacquer workshop to see the complex processes and meticulous workmanship involved in this traditional Vietnamese craft product.
