Itinerary

Tour Itinerary

We will begin our trip with a visit to the unique Pig market in Ba Ren, Quang Nam, where the entire market revolves around the sale of pigs. This vibrant market showcases a distinct aspect of local culture and economy. On the way to My Lai, we will visit the Khuong My Towers, remnants of the Champa Kingdom, believed to date back to the first half of the ninth century. We will also visit Nui Thanh Victory Monument, commemorating the historic battle between American forces and the people of Quang Nam in 1965. 


Continuing our journey, we will arrive at the My Lai Museum, which documents the tragic events of March 16, 1968. The museum provides a sobering account of the mass murder of civilians during the Vietnam War. As we explore My Lai village, we will have the opportunity to meet local residents, gaining insight into their lives and the impact of the war on their community.


The village is a poignant reminder of the horrors of conflict, as over 300 unarmed civilians, including women, children, and the elderly, were killed by American soldiers during the search for Viet Cong soldiers. This visit encourages reflection on the past and the resilience of the human spirit.
