Travel : Vietnam - Ho Chi Minh City (Day 1)

in #travel6 years ago

Good morning Vietnam!

Ho Chi Minh City, also it’s former name of Saigon is the largest city in Vietnam by population. A high-octane city of commerce and culture that has driven the country forward with its pulsating energy.

A good start before our journey begin is “breakfast” especially from the hotel because they have a large variety of food, fresh bread and coffee (especially Vietnamese black coffee) and also no need to do the dishes! Hahahahaha

Historic Relics of Cu Chi Tunnel

Within the system of Cu Chi Tunnel, Ben Duoc Tunnel was the base of Party Committee and Headquarters of Sai Gon - Chi Lon - Gia Dinh Zone & Military Zone, being ranked as national relics during 1975. This is a unique architectural structure, a system of deeply underground tunnels having several floors and alleys and branches like spider web more than 250km long, with places for dining, living, meeting and fighting. This tunnel system embodies the strong will, intelligence, and pride of Cu Chi people, a symbol of revolutionary heroism of Vietnamese people.
