SAIGON CITY TOUR AND CU CHI TUNNELS
| OVERVIEW Saigon as the city is still frequently referred to be Vietnam's largest city. It is a fast-paced city full of contrasts as street vendors selling fruit and vegetables can be seen next to glitzy western-style bars and boutiques. Saigon's history is only 300 years old. Today, Ho Chi Minh City is very much the heart of Vietnamese business and entrepreneurs. And yet the city still retains its connections to the past, particularly in Cholon, Saigon's Chinatown. Here dozens of elegant temples and pagodas can be seen. The French also left their mark with some fine colonial-era buildings such as the Notre Dame Cathedral and the Central Post Office. This city tour unravels Saigon's turbulent past and also provides a glimpse into the fascinating variety the city has to offer.  PROGRAM DETAILS |
|
Departure: Every Day AM: 08.00 am depart from Ho Chi Minh City to Cu Chi. A Byzantine maze of underground passages, chambers, rooms and booby traps used by Vietnamese solders to suddenly materialise as if from nowhere, launch a lightning ambush, and vanish equally rapidly. You'll be able to get an idea of what it would have been like to live, sleep and eat in the underground passages and bunkers during the fierce battles of the war .
PM: Lunch at a restaurant in the city centre. In the afternoon, you'll discover the Cho Lon area (also called China town) and Binh Tay market- one of the liveliest areas of Ho Chi Minh City, inks packed with every conceivable commodity. You'll also call in at one of the local temples. It's one of the best Taoist temples in Vietnam, with superb effigies, remarkable carved panels of descent to Hell and somewhat incongruous terrapin and tortoise sanctuaries. Back to your hotel around 16.00 pm. Trip ends  |
