Day 2: Hue - DMZ - Phong Nha

Commence today’s tour early at 7:30 am with the authentic drive Quang Tri citadel, located on the bank of river Thach Han was the site of fierce battles during the US war in Vietnam. The area became the tomb of thousands of Vietnamese soldiers who sacrificed their lives for national liberation. The site now attracts many foreign and Vietnamese tourists. In the 81-day fight, the US army and the southern Vietnamese regime mobilized many troops and ammunition to capture the citadel. Heavy artillery fire during these 81 days virtually razed the fortress. After the visit, the tour will resume to historic Hien Luong Bridge- a bridge cross over Ben Hai River located in 17 parallel during Vietnam War. The famous Ben Hai River was the boundary of North Vietnam and South Vietnam from 1954 until the war ended.

Locals built the tunnels to hide from the intense bombing in Gio Linh, Quang Tri Province in the Vietnamese Demilitarized Zone, and it was also used as the military headquarters with a meeting room. Built-in 1966 and used until early 1972. The tunnels include kitchens, food storage, healthcare rooms, and bomb shelter. Around sixty families lived in the tunnels; as many as 17 children were born inside the tunnels. Lunch en route before the last 3.5 hours drive on Highway 1A to Phong Nha.

Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park was a recognized UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993. Paradise Cave is one of the most beautiful Caves in Phong Nha. However, it’s an incredible home to the 360-million-years-old rock formations, 31km long, the longest and the most beautiful in Asia, the central province of Quang Binh.
