Vietnam DMZ Half Day Trip to Khe Sanh Combat Base
Highlight
- See an airfield and combat base used during the Vietnam War
- Visit to amazing historical sites in the central Vietnam including Quang Tri Citadel, Khe Sanh Combat Base where we called DMZ - Demilitarized Zone.
Quang Tri which was the province capital of that area, is located in the Central Region of Vietnam, near the crossways between North and South Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand. The province preserves many remains from the anti-American resistance war such as the ancient citadel of Quang Tri, Khe Sanh Combat Base, Truong Son National Cemetery, Truong Son trail

- This place was built to worship Christianity in Hung Long village, with a total area of 1220m2, including a bell tower in front, a cross mounted on top, and a large chapel and corridor. Since the fight to protect Quang Tri Citadel, the church has been destroyed by bombs and bullets.
- Long Hung Church in Quang Tri is a war relic marking the heroic battle of our army and people.
- And then we go a head for next stop:
- The Rockpile Vietnam – also known as Rockpile Base or Elliot Combat Base. During the Vietnam War, it was a substantial US base in the rocky mountains north of Route 9 and south of the Demilitarized Zone – Vietnam DMZ. The US used the Rock.Pile hill as a watchtower to observe the activities of the Vietnam People’s Army in the demilitarized zone in Quang Tri from 1966 to 1968.
- 10:00am : Arrive Khe Sanh Combat Base was never overrun, but saw the bloodiest battle of the war.
- About 500 Americans, 10,000 North Vietnamese troops and uncounted civilian bystanders died around this remote highland base.
- It’s eerily peaceful today, but in 1968 the hillsides trembled with the impact of 1000kg bombs, white phosphorus shells, napalm, mortars and endless artillery rounds, as desperate American forces sought to repel the NVA.
- On the way back to Hue Hotel we will stop at Local restaurant for Lunch time
Our DMZ Deluxe Tour from Hue takes tourists step back in time and witness the scene of many destroyed foundations of former American military bases buildings, monuments dedicated to local war heroes, and hundreds of war relics displayed within a US combat base-turned-museum.
