Prior to the Tet Offensive in 1968, the underground complex housed about 10,000 troops. It is still one of the most remarkable illustrations of how ferocious the conflict was at the time. You may even attempt crawling dozens of metres deep in the tunnel to get the whole experience. Return to Saigon and drop off your luggage at the hotel.
