Introducing Cu Chi Tunnels – Mekong Delta Tourist Destination

The Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta are two iconic tourist destinations with completely contrasting characteristics, yet they combine perfectly in exploration itineraries from Ho Chi Minh City. While Cu Chi Tunnels transport you back in time to a glorious and steadfast historical period underground, the Mekong Delta offers you the expansive and peaceful atmosphere of the fertile waterways of Southern Vietnam .

Below is a detailed guide introducing these two popular tourist destinations:

Located approximately 60km northwest of Ho Chi Minh City, the Cu Chi Tunnels are a sophisticated and robust underground defense system, renowned as one of the world’s most unique underground structures.

• A magnificent underground labyrinth system: Cu Chi boasts a vast network of tunnels stretching over 250km , interconnected like a spiderweb with varying depths. It integrates everything from dining rooms, meeting rooms, kitchens (including smokeless Hoàng Cầm stoves), field hospitals, to weapons storage.
• Experience the tunnels firsthand: You’ll get to directly crouch and squeeze through narrow tunnels, truly feeling the living space and the indomitable spirit of the soldiers during wartime. The historical site is divided into two main areas: Ben Dinh (suitable for international visitors, the tunnels have been widened for easier movement) and Ben Duoc (retaining many original, pristine features, with a large memorial temple).
• Shooting Sports Zone: One of the most popular activities for tourists is trying their hand at shooting military rifles (such as AK-47 or M16) with live ammunition under the strict guidance of instructors.
• Simple wartime cuisine: At the end of the tour, you’ll sit under the canopy of the central forest, enjoying hot boiled cassava with sesame salt dip and a bowl of green tea – a classic hunger-fighting meal for the soldiers and civilians of Cu Chi in the past.

2. The Mekong Delta – A Song of Peaceful Rivers and Waters

Leaving the Cu Chi Steel Land behind, heading southwest, you’ll reach the Mekong Delta – where the Tien River deposits fertile silt year-round, reflecting the rich garden culture of the Southern Vietnamese people. The most popular one-day stops are My Tho (Tien Giang) and Ben Tre .

• Cruise on the Tien River: Tourists board large wooden boats, gliding through the waves to admire the panoramic view of life along both banks of the river, passing by four islets named after the four mythical creatures: Dragon,麒麟 (Kirin), Turtle, and Phoenix .
• Experience a hand-rowed bamboo boat: This is the most romantic and distinctive highlight of the Mekong Delta. You’ll wear a traditional Vietnamese blouse (áo bà ba), sit in a small bamboo boat, and leisurely glide beneath the shady rows of water coconut trees, winding through quiet, narrow canals.
• Orchard Culture & Southern Vietnamese Folk Music: The boat docks at the islets, taking you on a stroll through orchards laden with fruit year-round. Here, you can enjoy fresh tropical fruits (longan, rambutan, papaya), sip a warm cup of honey tea, and listen to the melodies of Southern Vietnamese folk music – an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
• Discover traditional coconut candy making: In Ben Tre, the “land of coconuts,” you’ll witness firsthand the process of making these delicious, chewy coconut candies, from grating the coconuts and pressing the coconut milk to cooking the malt syrup and wrapping the candies. You can then enjoy freshly made, hot candies right out of the oven.
