Although the war finished, its pain and loss just are like it has happened yesterday. Vietnam is a small country but Vietnamese did not fall and always tried to fight against two big countries. It's an unforgettable imprint for not only domestic but also international friends. If you come to Hue city and are looking for a tour to visit many historic places, book a Hue DMZ tours.
Hue DMZ tour - a meaningful tour to learn more about Vietnam war
Exploring DMZ zone with Hue DMZ tour, you should visit Quang Tri province, where divided Viet Nam into 2 lands at 17 parallel and existed the historical evidence until now.
The first place you will stop in DMZ Hue tour is Hien Luong bridge and Ben Hai river. Hien Luong bridge was built in 1928 by the Government of Vinh Linh with the contribution of local people. The bridge is made of wood, piles of iron about 2 m wide. After many times repaired and upgraded, in May 1952, the French built a new bridge consisting of 7 spans, 178m long, cylindrical reinforced concrete, 4m wide, both sides have a height of 1.2 m sure, maximum endurance of 18 tons bridge. It looks like now. This bridge is too ordinary and nothing special about architecture. But why this bridge is very famous? According to my guide, where we were standing is the 17th parallel. After Gionever agreements was signed, It was chosen to divide the country. The bridge is a symbol showing the loss, separation and hurt. There is nothing hurt than when seeing our country divided into two parts. At night, the sound of fighting and gunfire rang out in bright white smoke roll up the sky. The Soldier was died but their friends, family member were still alive. They suffered not only pain of body but also the soul.
The second place you visit is Vinh Moc tunnel. Tourists visiting the Vinh Moc tunnels will easily notice the life of the local people and revolutionary soldiers building the tunnels system to avoid bomb in two long and serious wars. Thereby, we can feel the value of peace that soldiers brought to us.
Finally, clients will learn history in Khe Sanh Combat Base with Ta Con airport. The town of Khe Sanh seems like an intersection, near the Lao Bao border gate and supports the South from the North. Khe Sanh positioned an important military strategy. It decided the success or failure of the Vietnam War. So getting back Khe Sanh from US troops is extremely arduous and much loss. So the battle of Khe Sanh combat base is like Dien Bien Phu. War went over for a long time ago and the scene here has changed a lot, but the historical monuments left over as a clear evidence of the fierce fighting, accusations of war crimes as well as victories over the world. The wreckage was Vietnam’s military shot down or UXO fragments B52 were also exhibited here. I also heard about the heroic sacrifice who wered tortured steadfastly but still kept secret. Or the Vietnam heroic mothers, they repressed emotions to say good bye their husband, son to them join the war.
