Detailed itinerary:
Day 1: 03 Nov 2013 : Ho Chi Minh – Cu Chi tunnels – Cao Dai Temple (B)
Our guide will pick you up at 7:45 at our pointed place: De Tham street, Dist 1, Ho Chi Minh.
We will start from your hotel to visit the Cao Dai Temple in Tay Ninh (120 km) where daily Mass is
done by the Cao daism followers at noon. Cao Dai is a combination of Buddhism, Confucianism,
Taoism, native Vietnamese spiritualism, Christianity and Islam. After lunch, we head to Cu Chi
Tunnels. The tunnels cover an extensive underground network (approximately 200 kilometers) of
tunnels dug initially by the Viet Minh and later expanded by the Viet Cong. The tunnels contained
hospitals, plus accommodation and schools, and were used extensively for refuge and storage and
also utilized as a military base for the Viet Cong close to Saigon. The 1968 Tet Offensive was
launched from Cu Chi with surprising effect. A section of the tunnels has been widened to allow
tourists to get a feel for what the life underground must have been like (please note that this will
be hot and sweaty and also a bit claustrophobic!).
