• Quang Tri Citadel - 07:30 AM - Quang Tri Ancient Citadel: A Legacy of Courage & Peace

Situated along the tranquil Thach Han River, Quang Tri Ancient Citadel is a place where history intertwines with profound emotional significance.

In the intense summer of 1972, this historic fortress withstood 81 consecutive days and nights of fierce defense, enduring explosive power equivalent to seven atomic bombs. Today, the battlefield has been transformed into a peaceful memorial park and a collective symbol of sacred remembrance.

Instead of individual headstones, a central monument honors the thousands of young souls who sacrificed their lives here. Visiting the Citadel is not merely a tour—it is a poignant journey through tragedy, resilience, and the true cost of peace.

• Cầu Đa Krông - 08:30 AM – Depart for Route 9 – Da Krong Bridge

Travel along National Highway 9, the strategic East–West Truong Son route, which was a vital military supply line during the war.

09:40 AM – Visit Da Krong Bridge

Spanning the majestic Dakrong River amidst rugged limestone mountains, Dakrong Bridge is a striking symbol of engineering resilience and historical significance.

During the wartime years, this essential crossing served as a crucial arterial hub for the legendary Ho Chi Minh Trail, channeling supplies, troops, and hope southwards despite relentless aerial bombardment. Rebuilt into a modern suspension bridge, it stands today as a gateway to the Trường Sơn Range and the rich cultural heritage of local ethnic minority communities like the Pa Co and Bru-Van Kieu.

• Khe Sanh Combat Base - 10:15 AM – Ta Con Airbase (Khe Sanh Combat Base): The Echoes of a Turning Point

Nestled in the mist-shrouded valley of Khe Sanh, Ta Con Airbase was the vital core of the U.S. military’s strongpoint defense along Route 9 during the Resistance War Against America.

In early 1968, this strategic airstrip became the focal point of the famous 170-day Battle of Khe Sanh, one of the most intense and publicized sieges of the war. Today, the once-turbulent airfield is an open-air historical museum surrounded by peaceful coffee and rubber plantations.

The immersive walk concludes on a breathtaking note as the narrow tunnels open directly onto the windswept Vinh Moc coast, offering stunning sea views and a deep appreciation for peace and human resilience.

• Hiền Lương Bridge - 15:20 PM - 15:50 PM: Transfer to Hien Luong Bridge & Ben Hai River: The Divided Parallel
