9:00 AM: Begin your day with a visit to the Independence Palace, a historic landmark that once served as the command center for South Vietnamese leadership. This five-story building is preserved with its original 1960s and 1970s decor, featuring a bunker basement and the iconic North Vietnamese tank that made headlines in 1975.

Also, visit the nearby Ben Duoc Memorial Temple, a tranquil and lesser-known site established in 1993 to honor the Vietnamese lives lost in Cu Chi.

Next, embark on a journey to the Cao Dai Temple, one of Vietnam’s most unique and sacred sites. Caodaism, a distinctive Vietnamese religion, blends elements of Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, and even Roman Catholicism. Time your visit to witness the midday mass and immerse yourself in the vibrant and eclectic ceremonies.

Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant, savoring regional flavors before returning to your hotel in the afternoon.
