Hue Riders - Vietnam Motorbike Tours1b - Explore the DMZ
Leaving from Hue we ride north along highway 1 to Quang Tri town just south of the DMZ. We visit Long Hung Church and Quang Tri old Citadel the site of a battle in 1972 between North and South Vietnam known as the "Battle of 81 days and nights". We then leave the highway to ride along the coast between Cua Viet and Cua Tung beaches, passing through small towns and villages, past rice paddies, duck ponds and salt farms and a stretch of beautiful and quiet coastline. Next we will take you on a tour of the Vinh Moc tunnels and the Demilitarized Zone before stopping for lunch at Doc Mieu base. In the afternoon we will have short stop at Truong Son cemetery to pay respects to the soldiers who fought and died on the trail during the American War before returning to Hue. VINH MOC TUNNELS
Between 1966 and 1972 the US Army dropped over 9,000 tons of bombs in this area (that's an average of 7 tons of bombs per person). To survive the local people built a network of tunnels and moved below ground. The tunnels stretch nearly 2,000m over 3 levels and are 30 meters below ground at their deepest.
