TASTE OF SOUTHERN VIETNAM 6 DAYS
Day 1: Arrive HCMC (D)
You will
be greeted by your guide upon arrival at HCMC's Tan Son Nhat International
airport. You will then be escorted to your hotel in town for a two-night stay.
You’ll enjoy a welcome dinner at a restaurant recommended by your guide.
You’ll then have a relaxing overnight stay in HCMC.
Day 2: HCMC (B/L)
You will
begin your experience in bustling HCMC (formerly Saigon), the country's
commercial center and home to a growing number of upscale restaurants and
shops. Visit Chinatown, the Thien Hau Pagoda, the Reunification Palace, the
Opera House and the Hotel de Ville. If desired, you can also visit the moving
War Remnants Museum.
You’ll
also be able to explore colorful outdoor markets and Dong Khoi Street, the
city's main shopping boulevard with shops selling clothes and accessories by
new Vietnamese designers, hill tribe crafts, high quality linens and
housewares. There is also the modern Ho Chi Minh City with its numerous
shopping malls, cinemas, discotheques and a bewildering number of bars. This
evening, you’ll see what the fuss is all about as you are guided out on the
town before an overnight in HCMC.
Day 3: Mekong Delta Excursion (B/L)
The
Mekong Delta is the southernmost region of Vietnam and is often referred to as
the country’s “rice bowl”, producing three crops of rice per year. The fertile
Mekong Delta is also famous for its tropical fruits and flowers. The Delta area
marks the end of a 4,500 km journey made by the Mekong River after having
traveled through six countries. Traditional transportation in the Delta is by
boat, along a vast network of canals and channels. Boating along these canals
and visiting the floating markets always proves to be a fascinating and
rewarding experience for all visitors.
You will
leave HCMC and head to lush My Tho, where you’ll cruise on a private boat
through the green vegetation of the canals to an orchard. There, you will
be treated to a delicious lunch in a local restaurant in the heart of the
Mekong, complete with tropical fruits. You will also visit the snake
farm, Dong Tam, which breeds snakes for, among other things, snake wine.
You’ll also visit a bonsai garden in Trung Luong before heading back to HCMC
for an overnight stay.
Day 4: Cao Dai Temples & Cu Chi Tunnels (B/L)
Next up
is an excursion to the Cao Dai Temples, home of the Divine Eye - official
symbol of Caodaism. Cao Dai followers worship Jesus Christ, Confucius, Taoism,
and Buddha. You will be able to observe the midday service, followed by lunch
and then a drive to the Cu Chi Tunnels. The Cu Chi Tunnels consist of
more than 200km of underground tunnels. This main axis system has many
branches connecting to underground hideouts, shelters, and entrances to other
tunnels. 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 you a unique experience and a feel of what underground life
must have been like during the U.S.-Vietnam War. Then it’s back to HCMC for an
overnight stay.
Day 5: Vung Tau Beach Break (B/L)
Today is
a relaxing day with a day trip to Vung Tau Beach. Vung Tau was known as Cap
Saint-Jacques under French occupation and is just 125 km southeast of Ho Chi
Minh City. Once, this seaside city was a popular beach destination for French
and American servicemen. Vung Tau is one of the most popular seaside resorts of
Vietnam, with sandy beaches and transparent warm blue water all the year round.
After a
7:30 am pick- up from the hotel in HCMC, you will be driven Vung Tau, traveling
through immense rubber, cashew nut plantations and scenic rice fields. You’ll
be able to visit Niet Ban Tinh Xa, Nirvana Meditation Retreat and Thich Ca Phat
Dai (a Buddhist Shrine) and a French-built light house. You will have lunch at
a local sea food restaurant, then visit Giant Jesus and have swim at Vung Tau’s
main beach. Later, you will drive back to HCMC where you will arrive at around
6 pm and relax before retiring for the evening in HCMC.
Day 6: Departure (B)
There are
no activities planned for today, so you’ll have free time for shopping or
relaxing until you transfer to the airport for your onward flight.
