SAIGON: Ho Chi Minh formerly named Saigon , is the largest city in Vietnam. It was once known as Prey Nokor, an important
Khmer sea port prior to annexation by the Vietnamese in the 17th century. Under the name Saigon, it was the capital of the
French colony of Cochinchina and later of the independent state of South Vietnam from 1955 to 1975. In 1976, Saigon merged
with the surrounding Gia Dinh Province and was officially renamed Ho Chi Minh.
CUCHI: The tunnels of Cuchi are an immense network of connecting underground tunnels located in the Cuchi district of Ho Chi
Minh City , Vietnam and are part of a much larger network of tunnels that underlie much of the country. The Cuchi Tunnels were
the location of several military campaigns during the Vietnam War, and were the Viet Cong’s base of operations for the Tet
Offensive in 1968. The tunnels were used by Viet Cong guerrillas as hiding spots during combat, as well as serving as
communication and supply routes, hospitals, food and weapon caches and living quarters for numerous guerrilla fighters. The
role of the tunnels systems should not be underestimated in its importance to the Viet Cong in resisting American operations
and protracting the war, eventually culminating in an American withdrawal.
MYTHO: Mytho was founded in the 1680s by Chinese refugees fleeing Taiwan when the general of the Qing Dynasty Shi Lang
defeated the remnants of Southern Ming Dynasty in 1683. The area, at the time , was once part of the Khmer Kingdom and it
was annexed to Vietnam in the 18th century. The city is named after the River Mytho, which means Beautiful ( My) and Reed (
Tho)
