The city churns and bubbles. Yet within this teeming metropolis are 300 years of timeless traditions and the beauty of an ancient culture.

Day 2 Excursion to Cu Chi Tunnels and Tay Ninh
Cu Chi was an important base during the Vietnam War, because of its strategic location. The Vietcong built a 140-mile long network of tunnels connecting command posts, hospitals, shelter and weapon factories. Tay Ninh serves as the headquarters of one of Vietnam's religions, Caodism. The Great Temple is one of the most striking structures in all of Asia and was built between 1933 and 1955. (B)

Day 3 Excursion to My Tho with boat trip on the Mekong
My Tho is the capital of Tien Giang Province and one of the poorest cities in the delta. The economy is based on fishing and the cultivation of rice, coconuts, bananas, mangoes, longans and citrus fruit. Visit the century old church, the central markets and a well-maintained sanctuary where the monks provide a home to orphans, disabled and other needy children.
