Apart from the CIP and choral exchange, we had time to visit some of the prominent attractions in HCMC.
The first attraction is a museum which showcased some antiques and paintings. It was also where we saw the water puppetry. This museum also showcased many weapons and they were very beautiful! We also went to a cathedral and the oldest post office in Vietnam. We visited the Ben Thanh Market which is one of the busiest spots in HCMC. Everything for daily use, from living fish and fresh fruit to souvenirs and electronic appliances, can be found here.
The Cu Chi Tunnels is one of the most famous historical vestiges of Vietnam's national liberation war. The network consists of over 200 km of tunnels connected with one another like a cobweb. Here, we saw how the Viet Cong lived during the Vietnam War. We tried crawling through the tunnel but it was very tough as the tunnel was very narrow. You practically had to crawl in it. It was also dark and scary. But our guide moved so fast that he was soon out of sight! However, most of us managed to endure a 100 m long track.
Along the way, we stopped by at the beach, and we had lots of fun, playing and splashing with the Son Ky boys. After that, some of us went hiking up a hill. We had an extraordinary, terrific and breathtaking view of our surroundings. No regrets climbing up the hill, even though most of us got sun-burn.
