Saigon: City Tour - Cu Chi Tunnels
After breakfast at your hotel, we will start by visiting Notre Dame Cathedral Basilica of Saigon, constructed between 1877 and 1880 by the French. Taking a few steps from the Cathedral, we will head to the General Post Office. We will admire its interior with the arched roof and curved windows, reminiscent of early European railway stations. We will then continue to visit the Reunification Palace, formerly known as the Presidential Palace.
After a refreshing lunch, we will head to the Cu Chi Tunnel system built from 1946 to 1968 by local people and soldiers using a variety of simple tools. During the American bombings and attacks, they were turned into underground tunnels which could house up to 10,000 people, with trapdoors, living areas, kitchens, storage facilities, armoury, hospitals, and command centres. We will enter some parts of the underground tunnel to understand the tunnel system better.
