Private DMZ Tour From Hue City: A Journey Back the War Land

Highlights:

A private DMZ tour from Hue City to Vinh Moc tunnels takes your hands back to the terrible war region.

* Go under narrow Vinh Moc tunnels
* Stop at the historic Hien Luong Bridge and Ben Hai River
* Visit a severely damaged place, Quang Tri Citadel
* See the green countryside and rice field

Details of experience:

08:30 am: Drive Hue to Quang Tri (80 minutes)

Let's start the trip to the Demilitarized Military Zone in Quang Tri Province from your hotel in Hue City. We drive through the green countryside and rice fields along the roads.

10:00 am: Visit Quang Tri Old Citadel (30 minutes to visit)
This place used to be vital during the Vietnam War; typically, in 1972, considerable fighting happened here. It suffered plenty of bombs damaging almost all the constructions inside it.

10:40 am: Stop at Long Hung Church (5 minutes for photos)

This ancient church carries many bullet holes in its walls. This proof tells that war can destroy everything, everyone, and any religion.
