The tunnels were mostly used by the Communist guerrillas to hide from their enemies and to transport supplies. The tunnels also hosted their own communities of Viet Cong fighters and their families and were integral in helping the guerrillas survive aerial bombing by the Americans. Today the Cu Chi Tunnels is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Vietnam and offer a fascinating look into the life of the people that lived there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can book a<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/the-best-tours-in-vietnam\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> private tour<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with an English-speaking guide who will walk you through the different levels of the tunnels.

Keep in mind that there are two sites for the Cu Chi tunnels: The more popular Ben Dinh, where tunnels have been widened to accommodate western visitors, and Ben Duoc, which was part of the original tunnel complex and is located a bit further away.

There are multiple trails on the mountain, and they go by gargantuan pine trees and roaring waterfalls. You\u2019ll come across all kinds of wildlife on the way up, including a wide variety of birds and bugs, so remember to bring bug spray. Another tip is to get a map as you enter the park at the bottom of the mountain; they are not available anywhere else along the route.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are some really cool pagodas at the top of the mountain, as well as a huge statue of Ho Chi Minh.

The main attraction is the 115 meter (377 foot)-high Ferris wheel, which offers an impossibly gorgeous view of the city, the ocean, and the mountains.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6299\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6299\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6299\" src=\"https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Danang-Sun-World-Sun-World.jpg\" alt=\"Vietnam Amusement Park\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Danang-Sun-World-Sun-World.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Danang-Sun-World-Sun-World-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Danang-Sun-World-Sun-World-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Danang-Sun-World-Sun-World-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Danang-Sun-World-Sun-World-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Danang-Sun-World-Sun-World-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Danang-Sun-World-Sun-World-747x420.jpg 747w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6299\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Danang&#8217;s Sun World is dominated by a huge ferris wheel.

A boat will take you to the first island, which is home to a quaint fishing town with some souvenir vendors and ice cream stalls on the outskirts. Walking through the town will bring you to an ornate pagoda where the family can relax with an iced tea. The island also has a museum showcasing specimens of local wildlife preserved in jars. Kids interested in ocean critters will love it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At an agreed-upon time, the boat will bring tour-goers over to another island that is decidedly more beach-oriented. Adults can lie back under the palm trees while kids play on the clean beach and in the warm water. Everyone will also be given an opportunity to go snorkeling from a boat a ways offshore. A healthy meal is served at the island\u2019s bungalow restaurant afterward, and reviewers rave it was one of the best they had in Vietnam.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6296\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6296\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6296\" src=\"https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Cham-Island-Snorkeling-cham-island-tours.jpg\" alt=\"things to do in Vietnam\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Cham-Island-Snorkeling-cham-island-tours.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Cham-Island-Snorkeling-cham-island-tours-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Cham-Island-Snorkeling-cham-island-tours-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Cham-Island-Snorkeling-cham-island-tours-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Cham-Island-Snorkeling-cham-island-tours-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Cham-Island-Snorkeling-cham-island-tours-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Cham-Island-Snorkeling-cham-island-tours-747x420.jpg 747w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6296\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">On the second of the two islands visited, a small boat will take guests who want to go offshore to snorkel a bit.

The expanses of red or white sand (depending on which dunes you visit) stretch further than the eye can see. Children can hike the dunes on foot like explorers in the desert, and the older ones who are comfortable behind the wheel can rent a quad-bike to zoom up and down the sand. Your family can even rent a hot air balloon to float over the dunes, although that\u2019s significantly more expensive.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6307\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6307\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6307\" src=\"https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Mui-ne-dunes-manytrips-dot-vn.jpg\" alt=\"Vietnam Sand Dunes\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Mui-ne-dunes-manytrips-dot-vn.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Mui-ne-dunes-manytrips-dot-vn-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Mui-ne-dunes-manytrips-dot-vn-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Mui-ne-dunes-manytrips-dot-vn-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Mui-ne-dunes-manytrips-dot-vn-630x420.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6307\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kids will love scrambling or ATVing up the dunes.

There are the old, pre-colonial houses. There is a covered \u201cdragon bridge\u201d\u00a0 that you may have seen printed on Vietnam\u2019s 20,000 VND note. There are lots of cute little shops selling clothing, high-quality leather, handmade jewelry and souvenirs. Not to mention the many inexpensive street food stands, many of them selling desserts like ice cream rolls that kids will love.

There are some great tours that will take travelers through the rice paddies and with stops at local houses to learn more about the culture. Some of the countryside tours will even offer interactive activities like casting fishing nets, how to make reed mats, cook local food and even how to navigate the river on the basket boats traditional in the area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another good idea to try in Hoi An with kids is a cooking class. Hoi An cuisine is famous for being some of the tastiest in Vietnam, and families who learn how to make it together will form everlasting memories in addition to getting a taste of local flavor.
