A day trip from Ho Chi Minh City to colorful noon ceremony of Cao Dai Temple and incredible Cu Chi Tunnels makes the most of your short breaks in Vietnam.

Cao Dai uses ethical precepts from Confucianism, occult practices from Taoism, theories of Karma and Rebirth from Buddhism, and a hierarchical organization (including a Pope) from Christianity.

The Cu Chi tunnels were dug with simple tools and bare hands during the French occupation in the 1940s, and further expanded during the Vietnam War in the 1960s to provide refuge and a defensive advantage over the American soldiers.

  • Day 1: Cao Dai Temple– Cu Chi Tunnels Tour 1 Day (from HCMC)

    Our guide and driver will come to meet you at your hotel in Saigon  around 8:30am and transfer to visit Cao Dai Temple in Tay Ninh where Mass is done by the Caodaism followers at noon. It is a combination of Christianity, Buddhism , Islam, Confucianism, Hinduism, Geniism, and Taoism. Afterward, continue to visit the Cu Chi Tunnels, around 70km North West of down town of Ho Chi Minh City. The Cu Chi Tunnels system was created  around 1948 to assist Viet Minh in their combat against the French. Building them continued for over 25 years until it was an underground city with living areas, kitchens, storage, weapons factories, field hospitals, and command centers. During the American war, the entire area of Cu Chi was designated as a free fire zone and was heavily bombarded. Since 1988, two sections of tunnels have been opened up for visitors. Return to your hotel and tour ends around 4:30pm.
