The Journey
Long Hung Church
Long Hung Church stands as a stark reminder of the Vietnam War's intensity. Constructed in the mid-1950s, the church bears visible scars from the fierce battles of 1972, its reinforced concrete structure testament to the brutal conflict. More than just a building, it embodies the fortitude and courage displayed against formidable forces, offering a sobering glimpse into the past.
Dong Ha Town & Ho Chi Minh Trail
Explore Dong Ha Town, once a crucial U.S. Marine Combat Base strategically positioned to monitor movements across the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). Then, trace a section of the legendary Ho Chi Minh Trail, the intricate logistical network that sustained North Vietnamese forces. This experience provides a tangible connection to the war's complex strategies and the resilience required to navigate its treacherous paths through Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia.
Dakrong Bridge, Rockpile & Khe Sanh Combat Base
Pause at the Dakrong Bridge before venturing to the Rockpile, a former American artillery base offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Continue to Khe Sanh Combat Base, a valley encircled by imposing mountains and forests, where one of the Vietnam War's most controversial and brutal battles unfolded. This site is a powerful reminder of the intense fighting and strategic importance of this region.
Doc Mieu Base, Hien Luong Bridge, Ben Hai River & Vinh Moc Tunnels
Visit Doc Mieu Base, once part of the McNamara Line, an ambitious but ultimately ineffective electronic barrier designed to prevent infiltration across the DMZ. Cross the historic Hien Luong Bridge, also known as the Peace Bridge, symbolizing the division of Vietnam. Observe the Ben Hai River, which marked the demarcation line. Finally, descend into the extraordinary Vinh Moc Tunnels, an underground village where families lived and thrived during the war, showcasing resilience and community spirit amidst conflict.
