Full Day Cu Chi Tunnels and Cao Dai Temple
TOUR OPERATES: Full Day Cu Chi Tunnels and Cao Dai Temple
Start early in the morning with a 2hours drive northwest of Saigon to the Cu Chi tunnels. The tunnel was started in 1948 to protect the Viet Cong guerrillas from the French air and ground sweeps. The tunnels also served as communication routes, storage facilities for food and weapon caches as well as hospitals and living quarters for guerrilla fighters throughout the American war. A visit to the underground villages will provide a better understanding of the tunnels’ history, the hardship of life in the tunnels and the Vietnamese resilience during the war.
Continue your journey with 1.5- hour drive the Cao Dai Great Temple. Indigenous to Vietnam and founded in the early 20th century, Cao Dai is a fusion of the best from Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism, with Christianity and Islam thrown in for good measure. The elaborate temple’s architecture reflects the combination of religions. Visitors are welcomed inside the temple to observe the colorful service at midday. There is a viewing balcony which affords excellent views and photography is permitted. Lunch will be served at local restaurant. Transfer back to Saigon in the late afternoon.
