Great and vast site with a lot of interesting attractions to see - of course this depends on the tour guide but to fully understand the sites I would highly recommend a guide. Beware the actual tunnels you can go in are very small. The good thing is there is an exit very 20m, so you do not need to get down there for 100m if you don’t feel well. Still an interesting experience and for me the most relevant thing was the aspects you can learn from the guided tour anyway. We left from Saigon in the morning by bus and returned to the city around 2pm, so a nice half-day activity I would recommend for everyone who visits Saigon for the first time.

Quang Tri is a city in Quang Tri Province in the North Central Coast region of Vietnam. It is second of two municipalities in the province after the provincial capital Đong Ha. During the Vietnam War, when the province was the South's border with North Vietnam, it suffered a major attack in the January 1968 Tet Offensive and it was the only South Vietnamese provincial capital to be captured by th

Quang Tri Citadel, - According to documents, at the beginning of Gia Long period, Quang Tri citadel was built in Tien Kien ward (Trieu Thanh - Trieu Phong), in 1809, King Gia Long moved to Thach Han commune (nowadays, belonging to Ward 2, Quang Tri town). - The citadel was initially built with soil, and in 1837 Minh Mang king rebuilt it with bricks. The citadel has a square shape, the circumference of the walls is more than 2,000 m, 4 m high, 12 m thicker underfoot, surrounded by a trench system, four corners of the citadel are four fortresses jutting out. The citadel was built in the style of Vietnam stronghold with square walls surrounded by large bricks; Adhesive by lime, molasses and some other additives in folk. There are four main gates in the east, west, south and north. - In the years 1809-1945, the Nguyen Dynasty took it as a military stronghold and an administrative headquarters. Since 1929, France has built a prison here and turned it into a place to detain those who have opposite political views. - There were big battles here during the Vietnam War in 1968 and 1972. After the citadel campaign "Spring - Summer campaign 1972", the whole citadel was almost flattened; only one door of the East was left in its original shape and several sections of citadel walls and outer ditches were covered with trenches. - In the 90s of the 20th century, the People's Committee of Quang Tri Province rebuilt the citadel to make a relic. A few sections of the city wall were restored, the four main gates were rebuilt, in the center of the cittadel was built a memorial marking 81 days and nights in 1972. The southwest corner erected a Modern house as a museum. All roads leading to the ruins and the interior of the Old Citadel are covered with cement, except for grass. Quang Tri citadel is considered by the people in the area as "Spiritual Land" because here any inch of land has bombs and blood and bones of soldiers on both sides.

Reviewed By JSTrip_77 - Hanoi, Vietnam
This was the focal point of the Viet Minh victory over the French in 1954. It's a really well-maintained location with lots of old trenches and bunkers and even some barbed wire (not original, of course). You have to climb to the top of the hill to see an ex-US tank that the US provided to France...France then disassembled the tanks and flew them in and reassembled them. There's also the massive crater the Vietnamese created when they tunneled under the French position and detonated nearly 1000 kg. Continue out the exit and there is a coffee shop where the French Prime Minister enjoyed a coffee.

We organised our tour through Belly's Watering Hole in Vung Tau, and aren't we glad we did. We had 2 Australian guides who were very informative and great blokes to boot. We were fortunate enough to have 3 Vietnam Vets on the tour with us who made it extra special. It's an experience I will never forget. It's only $60 AUD Per person and all money goes back into helping the community to build houses and help struggling families. Visit VTVFCF.org for more information or head to Belly's and book directly. They need a minimum 4 people to hire the van so if you give them a couple of days notice they will ask around for others to join the tour.

You have to walk through a number of narrow Vietnamese lanes or use a bike taxi or Tuk Tuk to reach this place. The lake has shrunk over the years but in that remains the greatest Memorial to the Vietnam War. The downed B 52 bomber ! Reminds you the number of human lives it destroyed before. This is by far the best memorial for the courageous Vietnamese people !! A must visit site.

A must see for everybody interested in history. The border between North and South Vietnam was exactly in the middle of the Ben Hai river. You can walk over the bridge until you meet the white line where the blue and the yellow painted parts of it come together. Now you're exactly at the border. Don't look down if you're paranoid about rotting planks which might break just the moment you set foot on them. You are at a historical spot. In order to visualize better how it used to be back in the 60ies, visit the museum. It's all about the North and South and finally the unification. Entrance fee is 50k Dong. Before we came here, our guide took us to a war cemetery of 1900 Vietcong soldiers, many teenagers. Very impressive and moving. Next logical stop from here are the Vinh Moc tunnels.

An impressively large and strong bunker [now protected by a translucent cover]. One can enter the bunker and see the various rooms. Nearby is a respectful memorial to the fallen on the French side. I was told that this was paid for by a German acknowledging that most tof the French troops were, in fact, Germans, Algerians, Moroccans, Senegalese etc
