Along the way, stop at a rest stop for a quick break at the local handicraft lacquer workshop where you will have a great chance to meet local disability workers and witness their skill to create such beautiful products. It is not compulsory to buy anything there unless you want to support those local workers. Upon your arrival, explore how the Viet Cong lived and fought underground in these intricately constructed tunnels. As you head below the surface you see hidden entrances, traps, bunkers, hospitals, and kitchens.

At midday stop for a traditional Vietnamese lunch before the drive back to Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as Saigon. Here you have the chance to tour the country's busiest city.
