Good Morning. This is how Bich Duyen’s dining area look like.
A cup of juice to boosted us up.
Our baguette and sunnies side up.
Morning view outside our hotel. I love it here because the hotel located inside the valley without facing the main road so it won’t be filled with all those busy noisy traffic out there.
The rubbish cart and the rubbish collector.
Looked out the board above the entrance that’s how u can find Bich Duyen.
Met up with Quang, our tour guide from Saigon Hotpot (Saigon Hotpot is a group of university students who offer free tours of their native city. All that needs to be paid is their transport costs to and from your meeting place and entrance fees where necessary.)
Entered into a briefing room to listen to the history and structure of the Cu Chi tunnels before we start.
We were caught by our curiosities of why there are so crowded at that one spot.
Demonstration by the tourist guide.
He taught us how to hide ourself.
He’s gone.
Now u don’t.
I was so afraid that my flip-flop might fall into the hole.
Ok this is a false demonstration.
Because I might cause enemies spotted our hiding entrance spot by not covered with leaves and IT’S NOT TIGHT!!!
One of the many entrances to the underground tunnels.
A very small and narrow entrance.
fake entrance for confusing purpose
Women soldiers were usually tasked to guide the soldiers into the tunnels. So they played very important role when war.
Termite hole for ventilation of the smoke from kitchen
Very big and scary when I was up there.
The military workshop.
This is how the process of rice paper are done.
Awesome post! Makes me wanna plan a trip there too! Very nice blog! Will drop by again some time 🙂
Tq Jamie. Ya, you should definitely plan a trip there. It’s a nice place after all. 🙂

Hi Vivian,

Thanks.
