03
Hue DMZ Full-Day Set off early this morning and travel north from Hue towards the Demilitarised Zone (DMZ), following Highway 1 through a mountainous landscape of rolling ranges and cascading valleys. Stretching from the Vietnam-Laos border to the coast, this narrow strip of land once formed the boundary between North and South Vietnam. Despite its name, the DMZ was the scene of some of the Vietnam War’s fiercest fighting. Today, its landscapes are dotted with sites that tell the stories of those who lived through the conflict. Your first stop is the Citadel of Quang Tri, where a major 1972 battle took place between US-backed South Vietnamese forces and the North Vietnamese Army. Continue to Hien Luong Bridge, crossing the Ben Hai River at the heart of the former DMZ and once a symbolic dividing line between North and South. Nearby, explore the Vinh Moc Tunnels, an extraordinary underground network that sheltered an entire Vietnamese village for more than two years. Visit the small museum to see photographs offering a glimpse into life beneath the ground. After lunch, continue to Khe Sanh, near the Vietnam-Laos border and the site of one of the war’s most significant battles in 1968. After a full day exploring these historic landscapes and hearing the stories behind them, return to Hue in the late afternoon and depart for your next destination. - Breakfast and lunch.
