Detailed itinerary

Main activities

Vehicle and tour guide pick up the group at Hue city center. Begin the journey to the frontline battlefield of Quang Tri – once the fierce forefront during the resistance war against America.
Stop at the Ancient Citadel – a historical witness to the 81-day-and-night battle during the summer of 1972. The tour guide presents the strategic location of the citadel, the fierce battles, and the monumental sacrifice of thousands of soldiers to hold the defensive line.
The vehicle takes the group along National Route 9 – the strategic route connecting the East and West of Truong Son, once a vital military transport lifeline during wartime.
Stop at Da Krong Bridge – a symbol of the legendary Truong Son Trail. Here, guests will hear an introduction to the role of this route in transporting weapons and provisions to the southern battlefield.
Continue to Khe Sanh to explore Ta Con Airfield – a key military base of the US forces and the site of the 170-day-and-night battle in 1968. Directly observe the remaining wartime relics, runway, bunkers, and defensive fortification systems.
The vehicle takes guests to have lunch at a local restaurant featuring regional specialties and rest on-site.
Depart northward toward the coastal area of Vinh Linh – where local residents lived, fought, and survived underground throughout the years of the destructive war.
Explore the unique 3-level tunnel system spanning nearly 2km – once an "underground village" for over 60 households and local militia. Witness firsthand the living spaces, meeting halls, medical stations, kitchens... right beneath the ground.
The vehicle continues the journey to the historic bridge that divided North and South Vietnam for more than 20 years.
Listen to narrations about the 17th Parallel, the symbol of the pain of division and the aspiration for national reunification. Take photos at the historical relic site featuring highlights such as the 17th parallel marker, exhibition hall, public address loudspeakers...
Take commemorative photos at Our Lady of La Vang Holy Land; afterward, the vehicle returns guests to:
- Dong Hoi (city center, train station, airport)
- Or Hue upon request
