DMZ Tour From Hue City With Lunch

Overview

Step back in time on a history tour to rewind the scene of the Vietnam war with a visit to Dakrong bridge – this bridge was rebuilt in 2001 and bears a marker hailing its importance as a conduit for the Ho Chi Minh Trail, Khe Sanh combat base – a United States Marine Corps outpost south of the Vietnamese Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) used during the Vietnam War, Hien Luong Bridge and Ben Hai River – a symbol of the everlasting desire for peace, national independence, and reunification, Doc Mieu Base – regarded as the most important outpost of defences Mc Namara strategy, aimed to prevent infiltration of South Vietnam by forces from North Vietnam, Vinh Moc Tunnel, the tunnel shelter Vinh Linh, Quang Tri province that digged by locals from the intense bombing in the Vietnamese Demilitarized Zone. DMZ Tour is a full-day trip to visit historical relics leftover from Vietnam War. Demilitarised Zone (DMZ) Vietnam served as a war-free buffer between the communist North and free South Vietnam in the time between 1954 – 1975. Located in Central Vietnam, Quang Tri Province, at the 17th parallel, this place was one of the bloodiest battles during Vietnam War in the 60s, 70s despite its name.

Inbound Vietnam Travel’s DMZ  Tour from Hue takes you back in time and witness the scene of many destroyed foundations of former American military bases buildings, monuments dedicated to local war heroes, and hundreds of war relics displayed within a US combat base-turned-museum.

ITINERARY

Day

01

DMZ Tour from Hue (L)

07:00 AM: ViTravel’s guide and driver will pick you up at your hotel in Hue city and then transfer you to Vietnam Demilitarized Zone in Quang Tri province.

We will stop to visit these places:

Horror Highway: May 1, 1972, will never be forgotten by people in Quang Tri and Thua Thien provinces not because it is International Labor Day, but because of the horrible carnage on Vietnam Highway 1, the Horror Highway. Thousands of civilians, mostly the elders, women, children, and scores of soldiers were killed by artillery and infantry weapons in hours of shooting.

Long Hung Church: one of the very few existing buildings remains in Quang Tri town during “Fire Summer” or Eastern Offensive in 1972. It is a National Relic in the town of Quang Tri Vietnam – BA5453.

Quang Tri Ancient Citadel: is seen as an eye-witness of fierce battles during the anti-American resistance war in 1972. During the 81-day fighting, the citadel was almost destroyed by thousands of tons of bombs released by the US army. Nowadays, the citadel becomes a place to mark immortal victories of the Vietnamese army and people and to educate youths about the nation’s revolutionary tradition and patriotism.

Dakrong Bridge: the bridge was considered the beginning of the Ho Chi Minh Trail network, and during many years of the Vietnam War, this access point was hotly contested. The Dakrong Bridge fell many times. Now it’s a grand suspension bridge, a proud thumbed nose as if to say, “You can’t knock down my bridge anymore.”

On the way, tourists also have chances to meet the Paco people – one of the very less populated tribes in central Vietnam.

Break in the middle for lunch at a local restaurant.

In the afternoon, we continue to visit other places in the itinerary, such as:

Ta Con Airport: now the Khe Sanh Combat Base Museum, contains a boneyard of several captured U.S. tanks and aircraft destroyed during the Battle of Khe Sanh. According to the official accounts provided by the museum, 197 U.S. planes were shot down or captured during the 170-day battle.

Hien Luong Bridge – Ben Hai River: The Geneva Agreements on Vietnam signed in 1954 divided Vietnam into North and South with the 17th Parallel where the Ben Hai River runs through the central province of Quang Tri as a borderline. Hien Luong Bridge, also known as the Peace Bridge, was built by the French in 1950, across the Ben Hai River. It is 178 m long but it took 21 years for Vietnamese people from the North and the South to be united.

Doc Mieu Base: One part of an elaborate electronic system (McNamara’s wall) intended to prevent infiltration across the DMZ. There’s basically nothing left of this old American base save a rusting tank and a sign. Apparently, this once formed the backbone of the “eagle eyes of America” electronic monitoring fence.

Vinh Moc Tunnels and Tunnels Museum: The most highlighted part of the DMZ Tour during the Vietnam War. The complex of the Vinh Moc tunnel is located deep in the Vietnamese Demilitarized Zone and sheltered Vinh Linh county people from the intense bombing. The tunnels were a success in saving the villagers’ lives and providing them with the necessary living conditions to fight back against the American enemy.

After our visit to all of the memorial sites, we will drive back to Hue.

Tour ends at your hotel around 06:00 PM.

ViTravel goodbye and see you again.
