Morning, after breakfast our Guide and car will pick up us at the hotel and head to a far area
in Tay Ninh province to visit an important cultural relic of the South: The Tay Ninh Holy-see. The architecture is a little bit strange, but the followers of the temple (Caodaists, a local sect of Buddhism) are nice, religious, and strongly believe in the Kindness which can improve the lives of everyone. Around 12:00 noon every day, the Cao Dai people gather up in the Holy See temples in their wait dress, carrying on a short but solemn ceremony.
After the visit, we will go for lunch before going back to Saigon with a visit of a strange construction: Cu Chi Tunnels. A huge underground system not far from Saigon, Cu Chi is the evidence of a very fierce war that the Vietnamese called “the War against the Americans” and the whole world calls it “The Vietnam War.” For many years before 1975, Cu Chi covered troops of Vietnamese guerillas not only from attacks but protected their daily lives; it became a strong base for the Vietnamese forces during the conflicts and is now a weird war remnant that can make anyone of us feel a stronger love to peace and everyday life upon each time visiting this place.
