Highlights

" The Tet Offensive 1968 of Saigon, the most woeful and monumental warfare had been seriously taken huge advantage of the massive hidden system of tunnels, weapon bunkers underneath this city land floor. Tran Van Lai, a head commando, bought a house and constructed a secret cellar storing weapons that would be used to attack on the Presidential Palace later on.
Today, the house is a such second-to-none museum, classified as a historical & cultural relic, and a witness to an important part of Vietnam War history. The coffee shop next door, Cà Phê Đỗ Phủ, also contains secret niches and is owned by Tran Vu Binh, the son of commando Tran Van Lai."
