What you can expect

  • With its unique location at the crossroads of East and West and abundant natural resources, Vietnam has long been a focal point of conflicts between major world powers. The country has witnessed numerous wars, most notably the Vietnam War, which involved the United States and significantly impacted 20th-century global history and the post-World War II world order.

    Through historical museums and war relics such as Hoa Lo Prison and B-52 bomber wreckage, let's uncover the true stories of Vietnam’s wartime past.

    Highlights of the Journey:

    • Vietnam National Museum of History – Explore Vietnam’s history during the French colonial period, the Vietnam War (Resistance War against the US), and conflicts with the Khmer Rouge and China.
    • Hoa Lo Prison – A dark prison used by the French to detain Vietnamese revolutionaries, later holding American pilots during the Vietnam War, famously nicknamed the “Hanoi Hilton Hotel” by US prisoners.
    • B-52 Victory Museum (Optional) – Witness the wreckage of a B-52 bomber, the largest and most advanced US bomber of the 1970s. The museum also showcases missiles used to shoot down B-52s, anti-aircraft artillery, and fighter jets of the Vietnamese military.

    Join this journey to gain a deeper understanding of Vietnam’s war history and the resilience of its people.
