 The Ho Chi Minh Trail Museum (Bao Tang Duong Ho Chi Minh; 034-382 0889; Hwy 6; admission 10,000d; 7-11.30am & 1.30-4pm Tue-Sun) is dedicated to the famous supply route from the communist north to the occupied south of Vietnam. The displays, including a barrage of American ammunition and weaponry as well as some powerful photography, document all too clearly the extreme effort and organisation needed to keep the show on the road – and the death and destruction involved. This is a good museum learn about the Vietnam war.Quite simply, defeat was simply not an option for the VC, whatever the odds. There’s a model of the trail, which shows the nightmarish terrain through which it passed. It’s located about 13km southwest of Hanoi and can be combined with a visit to Van Phuc handicraft village , or visited on the way to Mai Chau. Newer news items:
