At 8.00 a.m the expert guide will pick you up from the hotel, afterward hop on our comfortable air-conditioned transport which will take you to the first destination, Nui Dat Task Force Base. While everything has transformed due to natural damages or the change of society, the columns of the main gate still firmly stands as a heroic Vietnamese.
