The Southern Classic of Vietnam offers an immersive journey through Ho Chi Minh City, the Cu Chi Tunnels, and the Mekong Delta, blending history, culture, and natural beauty. The adventure begins in Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as Saigon, a bustling metropolis that serves as Vietnam’s economic hub. Amidst its modern skyscrapers and vibrant commercial districts, the city retains its rich historical charm. A visit to the iconic Notre-Dame Basilica, constructed with materials imported from France, and the Central Post Office, designed by Gustave Eiffel, reveals the city’s colonial heritage. Exploring the lively Cho Lon district, home to the city’s Chinatown, and the Jade Emperor Temple, an exquisite Taoist sanctuary, offers deeper insight into Saigon’s diverse cultural influences.
The journey continues with an excursion to the legendary Cu Chi Tunnels, an underground network that played a crucial role in Vietnam’s wars against the French and Americans. Stretching over 120 kilometers, the tunnels housed meeting rooms, kitchens, and weapon storage, allowing resistance forces to operate undetected. This remarkable site offers a glimpse into the ingenuity and resilience of the Vietnamese fighters. Returning to the city, a visit to the War Remnants Museum provides a powerful look at Vietnam’s wartime history through an extensive collection of photographs, artifacts, and military equipment. The day concludes with free time to explore Ben Thanh Market, a vibrant marketplace offering local handicrafts, textiles, and street food.
A day trip to the Mekong Delta reveals the serene beauty of Vietnam’s largest agricultural region. Cruising along the waterways of My Tho, visitors witness daily life in the delta, from fishermen casting nets to fruit-laden boats navigating the canals. On Unicorn Island, fresh tropical fruits and traditional folk music showcase the region’s rich traditions. A stop in Ben Tre offers a taste of locally made coconut candy and honey tea, along with a charming horse-drawn carriage ride through the countryside. Returning to Ho Chi Minh City, the journey ends with leisure time before departure, leaving visitors with unforgettable memories of southern Vietnam’s diverse landscapes and cultural heritage.
