Detailed itinerary

Main activities

Our vehicle and tour guide pick you up at the appointed meeting point in Dong Hoi City center, embarking on a journey back through history to the heroic land of Quang Tri.
Visit the Quang Tri Ancient Citadel Relic Site – where the fierce 81-day-and-night battle unfolded during the fiery summer of 1972. The tour guide will narrate its historic significance, the indomitable fighting spirit, and the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers to safeguard every inch of their homeland.
The bus transfers our group along National Route 9, a highway steeped in historical significance during the resistance war against the US, linking East Truong Son and West Truong Son – a prominent segment of the legendary Ho Chi Minh Trail.
Admire the Da Krong Bridge spanning the Da Krong River, intimately tied to the historic logistical campaigns transporting weapons and supplies into the southern battlefield.
Arrive in Khe Sanh to tour the Ta Con Airfield – a vital US military stronghold during the 1968 Route 9 – Khe Sanh Campaign. Numerous historic artifacts remain preserved on-site, including combat aircraft, artillery shells, and tactical bunkers.
The vehicle transfers you to lunch at a local restaurant featuring local culinary specialties, followed by relaxing on-site.
Depart toward coastal Vinh Linh – home to an extraordinary subterranean tunnel network excavated deep underground, constructed to shelter local residents and defend against intensive aerial bombardments throughout the destructive war period.
Explore the 3-tiered tunnel system spanning over 2 km in length – a living testament to the resilient spirit of the soldiers and citizens of Vinh Linh. Discover daily life underground, complete with field hospitals, living quarters, assembly halls, and more.
The coach continues onward to the historic bridge that divided North and South Vietnam for more than 20 years.
Listen to historical narrations regarding the 17th Parallel, an iconic symbol of the pain of division and the profound yearning for national reunification. Take memorable photographs across the historic site featuring the 17th parallel marker, exhibition gallery, loudspeaker system, and more.
Stop for check-in and photography at La Vang Holy Land; afterwards, the vehicle drops you off at:
- Dong Hoi (city center, railway station, airport)
- Or Hue upon request
