Accordingly, the municipal Department of Tourism coordinated with the People’s Committee of Cu Chi district and HCM City Command to organise a trip on September 19 to Cu Chi Tunnel, an underground base of residents and revolutionary army during the anti-America war in the district, 70km north-west of HCM City.

The tour also took visitors to Gia Dinh Temple, Ben Duoc Temple, and Tam Tan eco-tourism area.

Another tour to Can Gio district which is dubbed the green lung of the city was also arranged by the department in collaboration with the district’s People’s Committee and Saigon Tourism Corporation.
