Then, we will have a great chance to explore Vietnam DMZ relics including
Hien Luong Bridge
Hien Luong Bridge spans the Ben Hai River, which once marked the border dividing Vietnam along the 17th Parallel. From 1954 to 1976, this line separated the North, governed by the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, and the South, managed by the Republic of Vietnam.
Doc Mieu Fire Base
Doc Mieu Fire Base, located in Quang Tri province, was a critical outpost along the McNamara Line, a strategic defense system during the Vietnam War. Once equipped with advanced radar and artillery, it served as a key position for monitoring and countering enemy movements near the DMZ.
Although much of the site has been reclaimed by nature, it remains a fascinating historical location, offering visitors a glimpse into its significant wartime role.
Long Hung Church
Long Hung Church is a significant historical site in Quang Tri province, deeply tied to the fierce battles of the 1972 Quang Tri Campaign. As a rare surviving remnant, it stands as a powerful symbol of the heroic resistance of Vietnamese forces and people against U.S. counterattacks to reclaim Quang Tri town.
Vinh Moc Tunnels
The Vinh Moc Tunnels are a remarkable underground network built by villagers to escape intense bombings during the Vietnam War. Stretching over two kilometers, these tunnels served as a shelter, community, and supply route, with living quarters, a maternity room, and even a meeting hall. Nowadays, you can explore this extraordinary site, gaining insight into the resilience and ingenuity of those who lived and survived there.
Khe Sanh Combat Base (+25 USD)
Khe Sanh Combat Base was a key site during the Vietnam War, known for the intense 77-day siege in 1968. Once a pivotal U.S. military outpost, it played a crucial role in the conflict’s history and is now a popular destination for those exploring war relics. You can see remnants like bunkers, helicopters, the U.S. Air Force, tanks, and a small museum that offers insight into the events that unfolded there.
