The Journey

This iconic route offers stunning panoramic views of the coastline, lush mountains, and pristine beaches.

DMZ Historical Sites
Explore the poignant remnants of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), a region scarred by the Vietnam War, offering a somber yet essential glimpse into the country's divided past. Key sites include: * **Horror Highway:** A haunting memorial to the tragic events of May 1, 1972, where countless lives were lost in a devastating attack near Quang Tri City. * **Long Hung Church:** A resilient symbol of faith that endured 81 days of intense battle, standing as a testament to the human spirit amidst the war's devastation. * **Doc Mieu Firebase:** Once a crucial part of the McNamara Line, this former American base now serves as a historical site where visitors and veterans can reflect on the past. * **Hien Luong Bridge:** A bridge once painted half red and half yellow, symbolizes the painful division of North and South Vietnam, offering a stark reminder of the country's turbulent history. Visiting these sites provides a profound understanding of the war's impact and the enduring legacy of resilience and reconciliation.
Vinh Moc Tunnels
Delve into the incredible Vinh Moc Tunnels, a remarkable feat of human ingenuity and resilience. These tunnels, constructed on three levels at depths of 10, 15, and 23 meters, served as a subterranean village for the residents of Vinh Moc during the intense bombing campaigns of the Vietnam War. Equipped with ventilation systems, freshwater wells, a generator, and even facilities like a school, clinic, and maternity room, the tunnels provided shelter and sustained life for years. Explore the narrow passageways and tiny family caverns to gain a profound understanding of the hardships endured and the unwavering spirit of the Vietnamese people. Significantly larger than the Cu Chi Tunnels, Vinh Moc offers a unique and immersive historical experience.
