  • Vietnam,  Cu Chi tunnels, one of the most famous battlegrounds of the Vietnam War. Today it is one of the country's prime tourist attractions, part of a new industry of war tourism. Sometimes, these spots seem to be memorials to wartime propaganda as much to the war itself. in their new struggle for foreign currency, the Vietnamese are exploiting their harsh history, offering visits to long-forgotten places that were once considered vital to America's national interests. Most of the visitors here are foreigners; the Vietnamese who come are mostly schoolchildren with their teachers. Cu Chi tunnels, one of the most famous battlegrounds of the Vietnam War.

The Cu Chi Tunnels lie 75 km northwest of Ho Chi Min City. At the time of the Vietnam war, the tunnel system stretched from the outskirts of Saigon all the way to the Cambodian border:  something like 250 kilometers of tunnels. The tunnel system, built over 25 years starting in the 1940s, let the Viet Minh and, later, the Viet Cong, control a huge rural area.  It was an underground city with living areas, kitchens, storage, weapons factories, field hospitals, command centers.  In places, it was several stories deep and housed up to 10,000 people who virtually lived underground for years getting married, giving birth, going to school. They only came out at night to furtively tend their crops..

  • Vietnam,Ho Chi Minh City: tourists buying gadgets at the War Museum...Once known as the Museum of Chinese and American War Crimes, the name change reflects a desire not to offend wealthy tourists. Despite the rhetoric, this museum has become one of the most popular attractions with Western visitors of all political persuasions. It is a stark reminder that wars rarely have winners and are never glorious. Along with the many photographs, the museum displays US armoured vehicles, artillery pieces, bombs and infantry weapons. There is even a guillotine used by the French on pesky Viet Minh 'troublemakers'.

  • Vietnam,DMZ. Souvenir photo at the memorial museum at Khe Shan US airbase. Many of the visitors to these sites, like most of their guides, are too young to remember the war. Relatively few tourists come from the United States. For most people who come here, the war is a distant curiosity. But for the last few years, since travel to Vietnam became more open, groups of American veterans have come in search of remembered battlefields. A small number of American tour companies specialize in guiding them and gaining permission to visit remote areas

  • Vietnam, DMZ: Khe Sanh, selling war souvenirs to tourists and veterans.Here  US had a famous airbase. This was one of the most (in)famous battle sites of the war. To distract the Americans from the Tet Offensive that they were going to launch in the south, the communists started a siege of the base at Khe Sanh, here on the DMZ. US President Johnson, who was determined to avoid another disaster like the one the French suffered not long before at Dien Bien Phu, made the Joint Chiefs of Staff sign a written pledge that they wouldn't lose Khe Sanh. They didn't lose at Khe Sanh -- though the cost in human lives was terrible. And, as it turned out, the Tet Offensive -- for which Khe Sanh was just a smokescreen -- was the beginning of the end of the war
