A vast underground tunnel system was secretly dug out by hand by the troops of the “Vietnamese National Liberation Front” and continued to expand as the fighting raged above ground. They were built during the struggle against the colonial powers that were very strong. The tunnel extended three levels deep, with secret entrances, guard rooms, traps for attackers, head quarter, rooms for surgery and wounds, kitchens, escape tunnels to the Saigon river, etc, Total length is more than 200 km, they were dug by using simple farming tools and many hours hard – working.
Upon arrival at Ben Dinh Tunnels, a documentary video tells us of the bravery and cleverness of the Vietnamese villagers, for the example their skillful ways of camouflaged entrances and air holes for breathing. After this film we trek to a typical part of this tropical jungle battle field (between this Lao – Cambodia – Vietnam border) to see and go inside the tunnels and experience the live of the villager. This location was the first link from the Ho Chi Minh trail to the National Liberation Front headquarters. Around the secret bunker entrances there are many big bomb craters.

Upon arrival at My Tho, cruising a long day by boat along the Upper River (Mekong Delta) through a region where there are 4 islands with the names of fabulous animals found in Buddhism (Dragon–Unicorn– Phoenix–Turtle). Look over the floating houses and feed fish farms along Mekong River. Visiting and seeing some activities of Vietnamese daily life to understand about the life depends on the river Mekong. (handicrafts, souvenirs make from coco wood, candies make from coconut or banana…those are all the special products of local people in Ben Tre).
