Cu Chi Tunnels & Tay Ninh Temple

Highlights

It is s great opportunity to go to Tay Ninh to visit the Great Cao Dai Holy See, a place of pilgrimage for quite a few South Vietnamese people who are followers of Caodaism. In time for its noontide prayer service, you will join a peculiar but solemn ceremony with the congregation attired in lively red, yellow, blue and white and chanting religious hymns. Followed is a delicious lunch in Tay Ninh. Then return to Ho Chi Minh City, with a stop at the “underground village” in Cu Chi district, which was used by the guerillas during the Viet Nam War.
