08: 30 Pick you up at your hotel & transfer to Tay Ninh to visit the amazing Cao Dai temple. You will have chance take part in the midday ceremony& take pictures, before having lunch at a local restaurant.
Then transfer to Cu Chi tunnels, where you will start the
visit on foot. You will have a short film on the history of Cu Chi tunnels
before walking into the forest where the tunnels are located. There are several
choices for distance of tunnel which you can crawl in (NB don’t wear your best
clothes for this as you will get hot & dirty!) The shortest one is 30 meters
and longest one is 100 meters. In total the system measures 250 km, connecting
several villages together.
The tunnels will give you a real experience of life
during the war. Soldiers and their families fought and lived in the tunnels.
There were even schools, health care rooms, special hidden smoke kitchens,
meeting rooms and bedrooms underground.
After experiencing the tunnels, take a break with some
hot green tea boiled in pandan leaves and try with some steamed tapioca in the
forest.
Have a short walk to get back to the car and drive to the
Wildlife at Risk shelter where they protect the rare animals of this region and
rescue animals from mistreatment by local people. Take a walk for a visit and
get some fresh air before heading back to Saigon.
