Itinerary in brief

Ho Chi Minh - Cao
Dai Temple - Cu Chi Tunnel
Detail Itinerary
8:00 a.m. pick up at
the hotel. This morning we drive to Cao Dai
Temple in Tay Ninh to observe the midday
service. Following lunch we will drive to the Cu
Chi Tunnels and then return to HCMC
at approximately 6 p.m.
Tay Ninh,
near the Cambodian border, is home to the unique
Cao Dai sect, whose patron
saints include Joan of Arc, Victor Hugo and
Winston Churchill to name a few. The religion is
a hybrid of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism and
Christianity. The Cao Dai Temple at Tay Ninh has
been described as a Walt Disney fantasia of the
East. The temple's exterior is decorated with
multi-colored dragons of all shapes and sizes
competing for space with a number of Buddhist
symbols. Above the main entrance is the
all-seeing holy eye, the symbol of the Cao Dai
sect. The interior is just as engaging as
statues of Jesus Christ, Buddha and the Hindu
god, Brahma, stand side by side.
The trip to Tay Ninh is combined
with a visit to the Cu Chi Tunnels.
At its height, the tunnel system stretched over
250km. from Saigon to the
Cambodian border and was three levels deep. The
network included innumerable trap doors,
specially constructed living areas, storage
facilities, weapons factories, field hospitals,
command centers and kitchens. Today the
remaining tunnels have become a major tourist
attraction giving the visitor a unique
experience and a feel of what underground life
during the U.S.-Vietnam American must have been
