Saigon, once known as the pearl of the far east, is a city steeped in colonial history. The French, during their colonization from 1858 to 1954, left behind a wealth of historical sites and landmarks, making it a unique destination for worldwide travelers. Saigon offers a plethora of experiences, from its diverse culinary scene to its rich cultural traditions. The city's stark contrast of wealth and poverty is also a sight to behold, adding to its allure.

Cu Chi district located in the Northwest of Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) with an underground system of tunnels network up to 250 km with 3 levels, which starts from 4 meters down to 12 meters.

With a strategic location for all attacks to Saigon, once considered the headquarter of the South Vietnam and the USA army, Viet Congs and local Cu Chi guerrillas used this area like a hiding place when they got attacked back by American soldiers. This place is a must-see for all travelers visiting Ho Chi Minh City, and it can be perfectly combined with the visit to War Remnants Museum in the afternoon.
