8 war Memorial sites everybody should visit on a Trip to Vietnam_Part 2
What if your journey through Vietnam invited you to reflect on a Powerful past and the places where a Nation began to heal?
3) Cu Chi Tunnels
The Viet Cong — the Communist guerilla army tasked with resisting the US-backed forces in the south of Vietnam — made extensive use of subterranean tunnels and rooms, which allowed them to move across the country undetected. A stretch of the tunnels has been preserved at Cu Chi, 19 miles north west of Ho Chi Minh City. Guides lead you through hidden trapdoors, camouflaged with earth and leaves, into the dark, dank tunnels, which average just over 3ft in height. Thankfully, the venomous centipedes and spiders, as well as the rampant malaria that soldiers had to contend with, are no longer found here.
4) Son My Memorial
Both moving and harrowing, this memorial stands on the site of the My Lai Massacre in Son My village in Southern Vietnam. The memorial takes the form of a sculpture representing the villagers who lost their lives, including an elderly woman holding the body of a dead child, her fist raised in defiance. Despite the horrors that took place here, this is now a peaceful spot, with the statue surrounded by gardens lined with rose beds. There’s also a small museum documenting the massacre. It’s worth lingering for a while; Son My is now a thriving town where travellers can take river boat tours and feast on seafood by the long, sandy beach.
