Cao Dai Temple, one of Southeast Asia’s most stunning temples, is the spiritual home of Caodaism, a religion that combines Buddhism, Christianity, and Confucianism. You may have wondered if Vietnam had a religion of its own. Answering that question, our 1 Day Tour to Cao Dai Temple and Cu Chi Tunnels can assist you in finding inner peace at the Cao Dai Temple and the Cu Chi Tunnels, one of Vietnam’s most important battle sites, located just north of Ho Chi Minh City.
You can learn more about the Cao Dai Temple in Tay Ninh province before seeing the most renowned battlegrounds of the Vietnam War, the Cu Chi Tunnels. During the Vietnam War, the Viet Cong used the Cu Chi Tunnels as a network of subterranean tunnels that stretched for more than 124 miles (200 kilometers).

7.30 – 7.45: Pickup at your hotel and start the tour to visit Cao Dai Temple (in Tay Ninh).
The Great Holy See Temple, completed in 1926, is regarded as one of the most magnificent monuments in Southeast Asia. It is the headquarters of the unique Cao Dai sect, a religion with a hybrid of Buddhism, Christianity and Confucianism. Above the entrance is the all-seeing holy eye—a symbol of the sect. Visitors will attend the midday ceremony’s extravaganza to witness the daily mass held by the Cao Dai followers, which is a fantastic experience.

After lunch, proceed to Cu Chi to explore the amazing site where the Vietnam Cong hid during the War. It is now a popular spot for both Vietnamese & foreign tourists – the network of over 200km of tunnels became legendary when they played a vital role in the War.
Crawling through the Cu Chi Tunnels
The tunnels were formerly working subterranean towns with multiple trap doors, particularly built dwelling sections, storage facilities, weapons manufacturers, field hospitals, command centers, and kitchens. There is plenty of evidence of the fierce battle that took place here during the 1960s when Cu Chi was a “Free Target Zone”.
