Firstly, excursion 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 command centre. 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 mantraps and the
remains of an American tank as well as numerous bomb craters made by 500 pound bombs dropped by
B52 bombers.
Have lunch at the restaurant, then we drive back to Saigon arriving at approximately 14.00pm.

1877s. Notre Dame is not just a the oldest Christian church of Vietnam but also a unique and excellent
architecture of Saigon.

presence in the late 1800s. The look and feel of this grand building is like an elegant railway station.
