Ho Chi Minh Trail Museum

TIME : 2016/2/17 17:37:04

A throwback to the 1980s, this graphic museum, about 13km southwest of the Old Quarter, is dedicated to the famous supply route from the Communist north to the occupied south of Vietnam. The displays, including an abundance of American ammunition and weaponry as well as some powerful photography, document all too clearly the horrors of the American War, from a distinctly Vietnamese viewpoint. Put simply, defeat was not an option for the Viet Cong.

If you have an interest in the American War, you're best advised to hire a local guide from a reputable travel agency to bring you here on a half-day tour.
