Cu Chi Tunnel – Cao Dai Temple – Black Virgin Mountain 1 Day

07.30 am: Pick you up at your hotel. You will start from Ho Chi Minh City/Saigon to Black Virgin Mountain. Arriving at the Black Virgin Mountain, hopping on a cable car to visit Black Virgin Temple or Top of Black Virgin Mountain. From there, you can see the view is breathtaking.

After that, we will visit Cao Dai Temple in Tay Ninh – a province 95 kms South East of HCMC, close to Cambodia border. The Cao Dai Temple is like a Walt Disney fantasia of the East. Its exterior is decorated with multi-colored dragons of all shapes and sizes competing for space with a number of swastikas. Above the main entrance is the all-seeing holy eye, the symbol of the Cao Dai sect. The interior is just as engaging as statues of Jesus Christ, Buddha and the Hindu god, Brahma, stand side by side. Cao Dai Temple is the eclectic mix of colors and the amazing use of architecture create a space of beauty, spirituality with a somewhat surreal flavour to western palates!

For the midday service which was unbelievable in Cao Dai Temple – do not miss this! Time for lunch! Let’s come to restaurant for that.

Afternoon tour is Cu Chi Tunnel Tour.

13.00 pm, after you have a lunch, we will leave Tay Ninh and travel to Cu Chi Tunnel. Once in Vietnam, you must visit this spot. This is where guerilla warfare optimized and exemplified. You’ll learn the clever design of the tunnels and the strategic use of trap doors. Even with B-52 bombers dropping 30-ton loads of explosive, turning the jungle into a pockmarked moonscape, 30 thousand American troops failed to conquered the area! You’ll have a chance to crawl around a portion of the 121 km long, multiple-layered tunnel. You’ll learn how thousands of guerillas managed to stay underground many days at a time, also their great technique to conceal smoke from their cooking. There’re a lot more to enjoy, even a chance to fire real AK bullets…
