This site was the scene of intense fighting in Quang Tri and was a US base that came under siege in early 1968. You’ll get to observe the remnants of a former airstrip. At the Ta Con airport museum, you’ll encounter artifacts that reflect the severity of the war and the resilience of the Quang Tri people in their struggle against adversaries.
Lunch will be served in Dong Ha town.
In the afternoon, we’ll proceed along highway 1, where you’ll gain insights into the history of the ancient Quang Tri citadel, the La Vang Church, and make a stop at the Hien Luong Bridge over the Ben Hai River. This river once demarcated the division between North and South Vietnam from 1954 to 1972.

This remarkable site is where an entire community lived and waged their battles for over two years.
